60 Minutes had an absolutely devastating report on the Obama administrations failure to protect Ambassador Chris Stevens and other Americans in Benghazi.
Ill post the video when available (update available and added), but the heart of the report is that there were clear and unequivocal warnings which were ignored, and the Obama administration lied about these warnings after the attack.
Hillary and Obama blamed a video and stood by the caskets perpetuating that lie.
And remember how almost all of the media obsessed with Mitt Romneys statement over Benghazi, and colluded to ask Romney gotcha questions while downplaying and obfuscating what really happened.
60 Minutes said its investigation took almost a year.

Contrary to early WH statements, Benghazi was a planned, sophisticated attack by Al Qaeda against the barely protected American compound

Security officer Morgan Jones says hrs before the attack, Amb Stevens told him he was worried about security at the Benghazi compound

A security official says the attack in #Benghazi was no surprise b/c al Qaeda had posted their plots against U.K. and U.S. online

A CIA quick reaction force ignored orders to wait & went into the compound, where they repelled 60 terrorists & saved 5 Americans

You are going to get attacked in #Benghazi, a security official says he told Amb Stevens 3 months b/f the assault on the U.S. mission
60 Minutes (@60Minutes) October 27, 2013
Prior to the attack, Amb Stevens approved a cable to DC that said: The al Qaeda flag has been spotted

Wow. State Department refused to allow security guards to carry guns at the US mission in Benghazi. (h/t @60Minutes)

So is our media going to ask @HillaryClinton why she pushed a video story in front of flag draped coffins #60Minutes now says was a lie?

Morgan Jones, Brit, trainer of Libyan guard warned the Libyan guards would flee in face of attack, which they did. #Benghazi #60Minutes

Wow. #60Minutes committing a random act of journalism by pointing out #HillaryClinton and @BarackObama's failure in #Benghazi.

Re 60 min: now you know these murderers were crazy angry about that video. Thanks Hillary. Thanks Susan Rice. Thanks Barry.

Watch these videos, and consider the cold hearts that blamed a video for political purposes when they knew it was not true:

I so despise professional sports at this point and Hollyweird. It has become the opiate of the masses that prevents them from getting engaged in the hard work of what our founders wanted us to be, informed. It's easier to care about the Red Sox, who the Red Wings are playing and pass the Chips. It is Rome Re-Deux of increase the dole of bread and circus. Except now ours is inculcated with hip hop thugs on the field...
NOPE!..it took them a year to figure out that they couldn't cover up all the creditable evidence available to future generations without looking completely ignorant...CYA is encoded in their genes...
Hillary must be the Dem nominee at all costs. This will be buried.
You mistake pragmatism for defeatism. I made a similar prediction about how the “shutdown” would end. I was right of course. There are too many cowards in the Republican Party to take on a black POTUS. If you have not figured this out yet I don’t know what to tell you.
LOL.... your “good source” sounds like someone who is marketing the 2014 GOP-E Re-Election Campaign.
The first clue came, when we caught them lying to us!
The Egyptians aren't gonna lie come mid Nov. Husseins looking at being indicted, and tried as an international war criminal!
Exactly. Not many balls in Congressional halls. Maybe I should write a song by that title...I think that could be a big country hit.
FBHO and FHRC
I agree!!
Conversely, McConnell, Boehner, King and all the rest claimed that failure was certain and that's what we got.
Doing so just may get you an audit by the I r s. Just saying.
Correct, a year late and just in time to clear the cow, Hillary will be in full mode and they will say nothing to her.
They didn't.. They just changed the subject, and captured the headlines away from Obamagate for a few news-cycles..
Don't worry they have more up their sleeve if this isn't enough.. The only story with enough legs is already splitting the Dem machine is Obamacre, that can effect the midterms..
“I couldnt believe that CBS committed JOURNALISM.”
It’s safely after they got their leader re-elected, so CBS can run a story or two like this. Just throwing a bone to us.
Waiting until Obama's a lame duck, and can't stand for election again?
CBS withheld this information and didn't release it before the 2012 election. They wanted Obama back in office.
CBS releasing this information now does little to harm Obama, but does a lot to allow CBS to beat its chest and loudly crow about the great "investigative journalists" they are.
Perhaps they will win a prize for airing it. Who knows? The elite media love to award prizes to each other.
Sauron
It was clear Benghazi was a disaster and we were being lied to (about the video) last year during the presidential debates. Yet Romney the pathetic fool let Obama off the hook. He first stupidly made the issue whether or not Obama called it a terrorist attack - a minor issue, and got blitzed by (Gimme Mo) Candy Crowley. Then he was so scared by that exchange that he insanely said NOTHING about Benghazi in the 3rd - foreign policy! - debate. I will never forgive Romney for this cowardice, and never forgive the GOPe for forcing him upon us.
They knew all of this a month after it happened.
They just had to spike it, to drag Obongo over the finish line.
I don’t believe CBS did this over journalistic pride.
