A top congressional Republican is saying a new report that concludes Al Qaeda did not carry out the 2012 attack on the U.S diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, is “misleading.”
The new report published Saturday in the New York Times concludes that there was no evidence that Al Qaeda or other international terrorist groups had any role in the assault that took place on September 11, 2012, and that it appeared that the attack was fueled in large part by anger at an American-made anti-Islamic video, as the Obama administration first claimed.
New York Rep. Peter King, member and former chairman of the House’s Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, told Fox News the argument that the most overtly anti-Western militia, Ansar al-Shariah – not Al Qaeda – led the attack in an academic argument over semantics, considering Ansar al-Shariah is widely believed to be an affiliate terror group of Al Qaeda.

pisses me off how he gets away with his ignorance, the most worthless president we have ever had and that is saying something.
Obama sleeps and people died and then he goes to a Vegas fundraiser and then is protected by the scum in the media
Think hard about this. When you put your children to bed at night, do you really want Hillary to be in charge of their safety till morning?
Hillary is weak and gets trampled by all who deal with her. From her husband, to her party, to Obama, to heads of state, she’s a classic facilitator of an abuse cycle with herself on the receiving end of abuse.
Hate to say it..."Get use to it"...Hillary and Bubba will be back in the White House in Jan., 2017.
Don't they care about four dead Americans?
I'm getting a headache.
If I'm an 0bama supporter I would have to ask myself, which pill should I take, the red or blue one this time?

This is our entire problem in this country.
The NYT piece is well written and illustrated with bold photography, video, and maps. There are chapters where the article appears to deal with various "rumors" to do with Benghazi.
THIS IS THE PIECE THAT CEMENTS THE "TRUTH" ABOUT BENGHAZI INTO AMERICAN HISTORY. If we don't fight it right now, it will be the truth.
Phrases like "the Times researched for many months" or "the truth was more complicated than that" solve curiosity in most Americans' minds.
The only way to fight anything in this article is to step up factual refutations with footnotes (which this article does not have) and point by point disprove these allegations. And not on Rush Limbaugh's show or Sean Hannity's. The fight has to be LOUD AND BIG and dwarf the fight over Phil Robertson's freedom of speech.
The rest of this thread should hopefully focus on nuts and bolts directions on how to fight this, or else we deserve President Hillary Clinton.
Care now, or don't care at all.
Hate to say it...”Get use to it”...Hillary and Bubba will be back in the White House in Jan., 2017.
And this article is how.
I agree with you.

Let’s assume, yaelle, that the rewrite of history is to benefit Hillary. What does she need to accomplish more than being able to say, “An in-depth investigative article by the NYTimes says we were right, that Benghazi was inflamed by a video and that al-Qaeda was not personally involved.”
She can say that now.
How should conservatives deal with that?
Thanks, carriage_hill. I read that article before posting this one.
It seemed to me to be better strategy to post the counter-attack on them than to post their propaganda.
We know where he was when he heard. In the White House, at a previously scheduled meeting with Panetta (then SecDef), about 5 PM EST.
So, when Obama went to bed that night, sometime after a 10 PM phone conversation with Hillary, he full well knew that the embassy was still under attack and that Stevens was dead (and was, so far, the only casualty).
At 10:30 PM, Hillary publicly blamed the affair on "inflammatory material posted on the internet".
“....the most worthless president we have ever had....”
.
Disagree.
The only anti-American president we have ever had.
If the NY Times can declare Hillary innocent why does she not want Issa to investigate and find the same thing.
Partisan Media Shills ping, thanks xzins.

Yep. If it was anyone but King, I might be more interested.
Great sources.
Yes, you can put money on it that this article will be pointed to forever after as “this has been fully investigated” by Hillary.
Fight, fight.
That program is so ridiculously slanted, I can’t even stand to watch commercials for it.
EODGUY
Yep. If it was anyone but King, I might be more interested.
This is the sound of Hillary winning. You aren’t interested??? Where are all the other R congresspeople? Drinking champagne and getting laid? Does anyone take this seriously?
