I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to be upset about here. -- nm - Roger More Nov 28, 13:09 23
- During the presidential campaign TD administration, and it's representatives deliberately gave false information to the public re why the attack - No. 1 Stephen in the nation! Nov 28, 13:18 16
  - That almost echoes 2002. Almost. -- nm - Max Nov 28, 13:37
  - I'll say again, I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to get upset about. - Roger More Nov 28, 13:26 3
    - Because the administration had made the claim prior to the attack that al Qaeda was "on it's heels" - No. 1 Stephen in the nation! Nov 28, 13:39 2
      - I'll keep this on B2 - but that's not convincing to me. Say it's true - it would buy, like, a day before the real story came out - Roger More Nov 28, 13:49 1
        
        Except that the lie continued for several weeks... - No. 1 Stephen in the nation! Nov 28, 13:58
  - The Administration would intentionally push a "patently false" story to avoid bad PR...unlike pushing a "patently false" story, which is great PR? - musubi Nov 28, 13:22
  - that's certainly one way to see it... -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 28, 13:19 9
    - They knew that there was no protest over that video, and thus the attack didn't occur because if a protest over the video... - No. 1 Stephen in the nation! Nov 28, 13:23 8
      - That *at the time* it was not clear that the protest the attackers used as cover *wasn't* related to the video -- nm - TWuG Nov 28, 13:29 1
        
        There were no protests in Benghazi. - No. 1 Stephen in the nation! Nov 28, 13:46
      - They knew after the events that there were almost no protests. - Mel Profit Nov 28, 13:28 5
        
        For all we knew, there were WMDs there. -- nm - Spawn Nov 28, 13:37 1
        
        Sure...if you listened to Rumsfeld special intel shop at the Pentagon... - Mel Profit Nov 28, 13:43
        
        Seriously. It's like "well, if we know it *now* we must always have known it." That's shit logic. -- nm - TWuG Nov 28, 13:31 2
        
        Tuesday, for the first time, Rice stated outright that there was never any protest or demonstration - No. 1 Stephen in the nation! Nov 28, 13:41
        
        From what I heard last week the CIA talking points were changed at a deputies meeting... - Mel Profit Nov 28, 13:40
- The GOP is praying The President changed the narrative via the talking points. - Mel Profit Nov 28, 13:17 1
  - heh -- nm - Spawn Nov 28, 13:22
- Ditto. The GOP asked for the CIA to release talking points. Those points got delivred to Rice, who repeated them to the media and then the GOP - TWuG Nov 28, 13:15 3
  - Except the talking points made NO mention of protests in Benghazi! - No. 1 Stephen in the nation! Nov 28, 13:48
