White House: 'Self-evident' Benghazi attack was terrorism
politico44 ^ | 9/20/12 | REID J. EPSTEIN

Posted on 09/20/2012 11:42:36 AM PDT by ColdOne

Carney's comments come a day after Matt Olsen, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, told a congressional committee that the attack could be considered terrorism — the first time an Obama administration official had described it that way.

I guess the revelation of “self-evident” comes only after the urgency of the instantaneous bullshit lies don’t hold water.....go figure.

Art Carney would have been more believable.

Au contraire. His boss is the idiot; he is just the muzzled puppet.

Good thing it was “self-evident” because it sure as hell wasn’t evident from the steady stream of lies coming from the administration.

Does anyone in the Obama administration ever stop and wonder why the truth is something that they fear and try to suppress?

No, Mr. Carney, what is self evident is that you and your boss are both lying asshOles.

He who shall not be named has a new article up. Now whether this is all made up BS or actually from someone...

there are very salient questions...

Whose guns overthrew Qaddafi and where are they now?

Was Stevens CIA?

Who was really behind killing him.

Is it possible he came across something.

Very mysterious circumstances behind his death.

Qaddafi and Mubarak kept the hardliners in line. Jarret and Obama have thrown open the gates of Hell.

Mr. Carney, you had better tell that to Susan Rice.

The new story is the attack was planned only a few days before the attack to make it appear as if the info that Stevens was going to be at that location on that day was leaked.

When in fact the attack was planned weeks if not months in advance which means Stevens was sent to that location on that particular day by the Zippo administration and it had to come through Hillary.

Where is the outrage from all of this?

An ambassador dragged around, 4 people killed, and anything but a swift reaction from Libya and the White House?

Nobody is showing any sort of anger or outrage!

Has Hillary said anything about this attack? You would think we’d be hearing from the Secretary of State. Why is she laying low?

OK, so why wasn’t the Ft. Hood shooting “self-evident” terrorism?

He’s right, it is self-evident. Therefore, when the Obama administration was equivocating about it earlier, they were obviously lying.

As tempting as it might be to think that Stevens was up to something nefarious in a political/agent sense, my particular belief is something else.

It has been reported, here and elsewhere, that Amb Stevens belonged to that select group that can be considered ‘gay’.

My first thought on this was, “why would a man jockey to get a political posting to a Muslim region like this?” Out of the limelight [he thought], so far away from the normal action.

My mind then drifted to remembrance of Afghanistan’s “Dancing Boys” and other taboo (but still existing) homosexual activities.

Take it from there...

You are asking all the right questions.

"Qaddafi and Mubarak kept the hardliners in line. Jarret and Obama have thrown open the gates of Hell."

Roger that. They may have been dictators, but they were our......

I am sure it was THE topic of conversation with Beyonce and Jay-Z at the fund-raiser-partays after the Letterman appearance.

Pretty sure that the $300/bottle champagne fountain was for drowning their sorrows over this film-induced, spontaneous outbreak of UNREST where US citizens were accidentally slain was all about.

Jarret and Obama have thrown open the gates of Hell.

Isn't that redundant?

Hitley is giving an “intelligence briefing” to the Intelligence Committee” today about the Ambassador’s slaying and his pre-massacre protection etc.

That briefing ought to be a doozie, since she can’t blame “the film”.
