I agree, if it was a piece of paper with his 9/12 speech then the fix was in, but if it was electronic it is much harder to prove.

I can’t remember.

If Candy carried that paper into the room, of all the things to carry, this situation was likely pre-planned.

Chris Stevens was unavailable for comment.

Remember this Admin had no problems revealing top secret information, i.e. “Stuxnet Virus” in Iran, when it suited them politically. So much so that Gates himself told the Administration to STFU! No one recalls this.

I have no doubt they would have thrown the CIA op under the bus, if it could help him politically.

Obomba called the Bengazi botch a food fight.

We must not forget that this lop-earned lunatic returned a bust of Churchill to Britain due to a remark made by Winston in 1899. In the remark Winnie correctly summed up what a menace islam was then and predicted what a threat it was to the future.

Islam’s dream, in case any Spaniards are interested, is to re-capture Andalusia and much of southern Europe. Of course Spanish textbooks don’t go into much detail about the last time that nation was under the foot of the Muslims. Rape of Spanish women and children was routine while the menfolk were tortured to death.

Notably, during a debate with Republican nominee Mitt Romney, President Obama said that he immediately told the American people that the killing of the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Libya “was an act of terror.” But now he says he called it “an act of terrorism.”

In truth he said neither. The day after the attack he said that "we would respond to any act of terrorism" - which we still haven't, of course.

Øbongo is a liar's liar.

I saw it. Romney looked like a deer in the headlights and was stunned, that the moderator was involving herself as a participant insted of a moderator. He never recovered.
I had seen the speech and was yelling @ the TV. Bummer did not
make his statement about Benghazi but acts of terror across the world. It was never about Benghazi!
Mitt should have said “Yes Candy lets see the document and while your at it how many minutes do you want to inject your spin on a Presidential debate I’ll give you the floor!”

Good for you. I'm doubting that one in ten thousand would have seen it while they were actually in a debate with that kind of importance in front of a national audience. Maybe Newt would have gotten it, but he would have been destroyed much faster and much easier than what they did with Romney, I doubt they would have needed to pull that one with him.

Full disclosure: I hoped Newt would get the nomination and worked toward that end.

[Paine in the Neck]

“Pinocchios” - seriously, WaPo? How infantile can you get analyzing deadly serious national security issues?

[Conserev1]

I was also in Newt’s corner! The man is simply not givin enough credit!

[Roccus]

Like what?

[Rusty0604]

That term was all you heard from the Dems during the hearing. Wonder if they will quote this one?
