Almost immediately after President Obama announced the killing of Osama bin Laden, top government officials, including then-CIA Director Leon Panetta and top terrorism adviser John Brennan, made numerous false statements about what took place. That included the claim that Bin Laden was killed after he engaged in a "firefight", that he used his wife as a human shield to protect himself, and that he was living in luxury in a $1m mansion.
We now see exactly the same pattern emerging with the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya and the killing of the US ambassador. For a full week now, administration officials have categorically insisted that the prime, if not only, cause of the attack was spontaneous anger over the anti-Muhammad film, The Innocence of Muslims.

Agree we no longer have a news media we have a cult.
How many people in the White House are drinking the beer to com up with these ideas?
Before you know it, Barry will have been personally leading the counter-attack ( from the comfort and safety of the white hut situation room of course ) much like he led the raid that got Bin Laden!

By the end of the week the American MSM will be celebrating the muslim riots and embassy burnings as an Obama accomplishment.
I dont mean to jack this thread but I dont post vanity posts and this topic fits. After reading Drudge this morning I cant stop thinking that this administration is literally at war with the Navy Seals. Just too many Seals or former Seals getting killed recently. Everyone knows about the public war of words going on, but it there a REAL shooting war going on that we dont know about?
Did Obama give the order to take out the Somali pirates? Did he feel forced to green light the Bin Ladin raid out of fear that he would be exposed if he declined? How did so many Seals get taken out immediately following that raid? Has the administration been degrading the Seals through over use? Why so many leaks? Why would the Navy suddenly be so interested in making the Seals more diverse? http://nation.time.com/2012/02/24/navy-seeks-a-darker-shade-of-seals/
He only knows how to lead from behind.
“Numerous other claims made by the administration about the raid remain unanswered because of its steadfast insistence on secrecy and non-disclosure (except when it concerns Hollywood filmmakers).”
