And compare this to when they were watching TV as our Military Special Forces take out Osama Bin Laden...

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration’s handling of the Libya attack has opened up a new front in the presidential campaign just weeks before Election Day, as Republicans seize on it to question the president’s performance as commander in chief.
The dispute over the episode escalated after Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. said during the debate on Thursday night that “we weren’t told” that Americans on the ground wanted security bolstered, despite testimony that requests were made to and turned down by the administration. Mitt Romney’s campaign on Friday accused the vice president of trying “to mislead the American public.”
For President Obama, who had counted on foreign policy as a political strength, the issue has put him on the defensive, while Republicans who had focused on the economy now see a chance to undercut his credibility with the public on national security.
The political back-and-forth over Libya comes as the administration tries to get a more definitive picture on the Benghazi attack and figure out a potential response. An investigation is looking into what was known in advance and how the government acted.

If it were not for the fact that Al Qaeda acknowledged the death of Bin Laden I’d be getting serious doubts about the whole Bin Laden is dead story now after this Libya fiasco.
I think you are right about the Clintons. This is a 180 turn for the NY Slimes. Just yesterday they were defending 0zer0 spokeshole Cutter about her saying all this Libya stuff was being politicized by Romney. Now this change.
I can only think of one way to explain it. Today Carney said Bite Me only spoke for the WH, 0zer0 and himself. Implying that the State Dept is on their own. Hillary knows the State Dept and therefore her is being set up to take the fall. No way the Clintons will allow that. I think the Clintons have given the greenlight to the Slimes to go after 0zer0. No other explanation makes sense why the Slimes did a 180 turn. It will be interesting to see if the floodgates against 0zer0 are opened now.
Was this on page 1, just the web edition, or did they bury it again? Also, .... Gee, I thought they called Hillary the “smartest woman in the world”, but now they are going to throw her under the bus for Dear Leader? Well, that’s Minitru for ya’!
Ok, correction, that was not Chris Stevens at the door in that room..
The threads of information you observe have GOT to be answered, preferably before the election. These threads can only be pulled one at a time. They remain all tightly balled uup, for the strategic purpose of DELAY, and only more and immediate hearings can unravel this time bomb.
Very excellent question about time available to get a drone up, but no time to inject Marine assistance reportedly four miles away.
To me this is, so far, Hillary’s baby. It was the mission of HER department for safe keeping of embassies located in danger zones. It was HER Department who denied increased security requests. It was HER department watching this unfold in real time, on live streaming video, who knew instantly this was not a protest to a video.
So, why didn’t she know this, or did she? For days she spoke about a video protest, when HER department knew the truth, and watched it as it happened.
Was she set up? There were on the ground cameras, as well as drone shots she should’ve seen.
Who let her lie for days and why?
