Merged State Department admits there was no protest at Benghazi consulate

[A'isha]

He was referring to the region, and the Benghazi attack also. And he said they had no evidence that any of it (that includes the Benghazi attack) was pre-planned, which directly contradicts what the State Dept. says.

What evidence did the State Department say they had that led them to their conclusion?

So the buck stops at Susan Rice?

Do you think Obama told her to say those things? Yes or no?

Their people on the ground who survived the attack.

Carney on Libya attacks:

Carney has a tough job. It's not easy being the spokesperson for a bunch of lying crapweasels.

Do you think Obama told her to say those things? Yes or no?

Do you believe a person appointed to be the ambassador to the UN and the president's own press secratary make it a habit of stating their own opinion as that of the government?

Why does the State Department refute Rice and Carney's claims? You can't hide behind fog af war, because they admit to knowing within 24-hours that it was a coordinated terrorist attack. Remember the media blitz against the producer of the video and the coordinated talking points about "hateful" videos?

Why can't the government determine if a large scale protest happened in front of one of their buildings? It's a pretty easy question to answer if you haven't tied yourself to the narrative that it was the prime mover.

Are you going to address your claims about Ambassador Stevens being "dragged through the streets", or aren't you?

I think that Obama and his staff meet daily to discuss what the position of the Obama Administration is on many things. I'm certain those positions are relayed to the relevant persons, such as the UN ambassador.

Do I think Obama personally told Susan Rice? Who knows? In previous administrations I would have said "not very likely" but Obama made UN Ambassador a cabinet level position. Which makes it even more unlikely that she was out of the loop on such a high-profile incident.

Why were her statements so at odds with what Carney was telling the press, then?

 

[WildCat]

What did those people say?

That it was a well-organized pre-planned attack.

Where did they say that?

Which Carney statement are you referring to, and how is it contradicted?

 

[A'isha]

Which Carney statement are you referring to, and how is it contradicted?

The ones where he said they didn't have any information about the perpetrators of the attack, and the investigation was still ongoing. At most he claimed there was no evidence for a planned attack, but never directly asserted, as Rice did, that the attacks were the result of a protest over the film that got out of hand.

Why didn't Carney make the same direct statements Rice did, if this was the Administration's official position? Why all the "we don't know" and "we're investigating"?

Do you think Obama told her to say those things? Yes or no?

Yes or no, The president Of The United States,Barack Hussein Obama II, is responsible.

 

[A'isha]

Yes or no, The president Of The United States,Barack Hussein Obama II, is responsible.

Being responsible in an organizational sense (which, as President, he is) is still different from "Rice was saying what Obama told her to".

 

[Skeptical Greg]

"we don't know" and "we're investigating"

Translation = " We screwed up and are trying to cover our asses ."

 

[Travis]

Disgusting hypocrites try to make completely irrelevant aspect of tragic death (seriously why does it matter if it was due to a protest or a terrorist attack?) in order to try, and fail, to smear Obama.

And all this does is make me hate conservatives even more. And I didn't think that was possible. Congratulations you monsters.

It's apparently not enough that confusion and dissension within the administration apparently caused them to avoid any definitive official statements for probably far longer than they should have. No, the administration has to have knowingly lied to the American people.

They were definitive enough when it came to blaming The Innocence of Muslims, even though many of us were saying all along there was obviously no connection.
