It Is Official: Fox News Lied About Benghazi

[Lakhota]

Fox News Mushrooms: The Moonie Strain . . .

Fox News grows a special genetically altered strain called “The Moonie Strain”. They are naturally kept in the dark, like one would expect, and fed a special diet of Slanted High Ideology Transmissions (S.H.I.T.). Each mushroom is fed 40 pounds of S.H.I.T. per day to match its IQ. The Moonie Strain thrives on this special diet.

OP: Yea, the government would never lie.

But let's talk about a lie we know about for sure. We were told that the Benghazi was a riot gone wrong. Americans died and we got lied to. UNACCEPTABLE.

Synthaholic negged this. I don't think I've been negged by him for more than a month. He must've been depressed that he could no longer give me 5 negs a day and been staying away.

Read all about it...Obama spins and lies!!!!

I read them all.

The problem with your post is not that you have the content wrong, but that your ideology is so extremely tied to anger and hate, that forget to notice that embedded within your own post, is the answer to the question you don't even recognize as relevant.

You presented a "Time Line." Well, guess what. No one from the Administration gave you a "Time Line," you created that yourself. In doing so, you projected exactly what you wanted to see within that "Time Line." What's more - is the fact that the "Time Line" itself contains the very reason why the Administration's statements changed with - here it comes: Time.

The very thing you think you are using to assault the President, is the very thing that answers the question you don't even see: Why their statements changed with time, as a direct consequence of time, and only upon the passage of time.

Look, in all honesty - I have not met a single non-hyper-partisan individual who looks at what Susan Rice, Jay Carney, Hillary Clinton, Leon Panetta, Martin Dempsey and/or the President himself has said with respect to Benghazi, from September 11th, 2001 through Today, and somehow comes way with the understanding that anyone has lied to you.

It is holistically unrealistic to conclude that someone has lied, when you don't have all the facts. We know you don't have all the facts, because all the facts have not yet come in. When the investigation is complete, then we'll have the facts.

Otherwise, all you are doing is making proclamations with nothing more than the desire to smear reputation and anybody can do that. Such an act takes no real skill. If it makes you feel good, you can fly out there in front of all the facts if you want - but it won't change or alter them in any way.

Here are irrefutable non-partisan the facts:

-> The Arab Spring was already well under way and tension across North and East Africa, were already high and filled with anticipation as dictators began to fall one-by-one and the People sought out their form of democracy and their new place in the free world.

-> Falling dictators mean power vacuums. Radical Islamic leaders being reduced by the Obama Doctrine in places like Afghanistan and seeing OBL taken out, sought to take advantage of the Arab Spring's power vacuum by attempting to leak into legitimate Muslim governments along the way in parts of North and Eastern Africa.

-> A very simple minded individual with nothing better to do than spark havoc, decides that he'll approach several individuals with Jewish heritage, to be financial backers for an offensive Anti-Islamic Video which was unfortunately produced and distributed right here in the United States of America - of course - the "Great Satan." A 40 minute trailer of the video was posted on YouTube by the producer under an assumed name. The 40 minute trailer goes essentially unnoticed at first.

-> An Egyptian Blogger and well known Anti-Islamic Jihadist discovers the video and begins using it to ruffle some Islamic faith feathers online. Still no major response from anyone.

-> The Egyptian Blogger has a contact and an apparent relationship with an Anti-Islamic Florida Pastor who once took it upon himself to broadcast his Churches' involvement in the burning the Korans at a bonfire, who agrees to screen or air the 40 minute trailer for whatever reasons known to the Florida Pastor.

-> As the anniversary of September 11th, 2001, approaches, all of a sudden out of nowhere, the entire Middle Eastern News Media, begin talking up a storm about the Video's trailer, even though the 40 minute Video trailer had been out for two (2) solid months prior without causing too much of a stir in the Middle East, or Northern Africa.

-> Out of nowhere, just days before the anniversary of September 11th, 2001, the Egyptian Media goes wild over the video trailer and grabs the attention of viewers all over the country. The country explodes into wild protests flowing out into the streets of Cairo and days later, the U.S. Embassy in Egypt, gets attacked by what appears to be a spontaneous response to protests about the Video, while at the exact same time in Pakistan, Florida Pastor Terry Jones, is kicked and dragged through the streets in Effigy.

-> Several hours later at approximately 2000 hrs local time, 150 bearded men wearing Islamic Jihadist clothing and driving vehicles with Jihadist logos, began blocking off the streets that lead to the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. As they set-up road blocks, they attracted some 20 men who were said to have been in their "Youth" and caused them to protest out loud about the disrespect to the Prophet Muhammad, that the Video had caused - while standing outside the U.S. Compound. After approximately 1hr and 40min minutes of these mock protests, the Compound was hit with the first mortar round, followed by heavy machine gun fire and the Compound walls were breached.

-> Personnel inside the compound sounded the alarm and made emergency procedure phone calls to the Rapid Response Team site. What happened from there is clearly reported here: Benghazi Time Line | Washington Post.


Clearly, political adversaries of the President engaged in massive conflagration of the facts by assuming far too much, before having enough information to draw a sensible conclusion. The above describes to anyone, how and why the initial description of the first attack, could and would be linked to the Anti-Islamic Video.

Clearly, there was a Video. Clearly, that Video caused problems and protests on the ground and clearly, the attackers used a staged protest as cover for their surprise attack on the compound. The blockading of the streets leading up to the compound and the orchestration of 20 or so individuals to "chant" in a protesting tone their frustrations about how the Prophet Muhammad was belittled by the Video, and now having a clearer backdrop of how the CIA and the Libyan Security Forces ultimately got involved, it makes it much easier to see how anybody would have thought that the attacks came as a direct response to the Video and the Protests that followed.

So, all the useless talk over the past couple of days and weeks about the President not labeling the attackers as "terrorists," or that fake Fox News "Exclusive Report" that claims the CIA was denied support and that the CIA called for "Air Support," or that the entire compound was left unsecured with no security personnel at all, or that the President just sat their and "watched them die," is just that - useless talk, as none of it ever happened.

What an election year this turned out to be. What's next from Fox? Close Encounters of the 7th Kind?

 

[336thF15E]

Guys, the Fox News "Exclusive Report" gig is up. They've been caught once again feeding the American People a ball of dry cotton and calling it candy. They have been busted (yet again) trying to create their own October Surprise.

This time the lie was HUGE. There has to be some blow-back for this level of lying for Fox News.

I greatly appreciate Media Matters for keeping track of Fox News lies.

LOL!!!! From the NOOB who claims to be an independent.. Why are nearly all independents really liberals?? Could it be that you LIARS think you're actually fooling anyone with your BS??

Could it be that the smell of your own illogical and circular BS is the only thing you are capable of seeing in others?

Being an guaranteed, inflexible, incapable of independent action ideological peg in the wall, is proof positive of your NOOB status.

As far as liars go, you need look no further than Mitt Romney. A candidate who can't keep his Arkansas campaign statement in-line with his Idaho campaign statement on any number of supposed "positions" ranging from Social Security Privatization, to being Pro-Life before he was Pro-Choice, before he was both simultaneously, to the bizarre and twisted concept of Non-Existent Pre-Existing Conditions, to Letting Detroit Fail and then Taking Credit for its Success, to a $5 Trillion Deficit Neutral Tax Cut that Has No Compensating Balance, to Active going out and Seeking Qualified Women in Massachusetts when Qualified Women were Brought To Him - all the way to the incompetence of Launching a Trade War with the Largest Owner of U.S. Debt in our Nation's History.

Yes, indeed - only a NOOB would be so ideologically glued to irrational voting patterns. Goodness gracious - wake yourself up and listen to yourself talk.

I was a card carrying member of the Republican Party, before you were out of diapers. I left that party precisely because of attitudes like YOURS and people who know nothing about what being a true Conservative means. True Conservatism has not been practiced in this country for over 135+ years. If it were, I would still be one. Today, I am a comfortable Independent Free Agent Voter who cows to no ideological grind.

Wake up.

OK, I've watched both video's now ---- you are SOOOOOO FULL OF CRAP!

Your irrefutable "non-partisan" facts --- aren't supported by anything --- and your suggestion that there is proof fox news lied about ANYTHING is totally unsupported. Fox news just reported what they were told as they indicated in the video.

As I indicated earlier in this thread --- the problem here is lack of transparancy from the president who promised transparancy. 2 months after the fact we still haven't been told what happened even though Obama promised to let the American people know the facts as they became available.

Just like his birth certificate and his college records --- if he wants people to quit assuming the worst he needs to set the record straight. He brings all of this on himself and then plays the martyr. If he has nothing to hide he should hold a press conference and and answer questions. If he doesn't both the right and left are going to suspect that he is hiding something --- the left will defend him anyway and the right will attack him - but all of us believe that he is hiding the truth --- including you -

...which is why you go through painstaking effort to try to dissuade his attackers...

We don't have a president that will defend our bill of fucking rights.

Matthew, racists like you don't want rights for anyone who is not a racist /bigot/homophobe like you. Every racist rant that you post shows a complete disdain for the very rights you so vigorously defend. A befitting motto for you might be something like: "If they ain't whites they don't deserve rights." Isn't that about the gist of your shallow reasoning?

Considering your impaired ability to reason or to be objective when it comes to race, And, that includes objectivity concerning anything our siting president says or does. I would caution the young readers here to skip reading your posts altogether.

Well the fact remains that those three men are dead.

Barry obviously gave no save order. If he had given the order those men would be alive. He is POTUS after all.

Anyone who doesn't know Special Ops is on call 24/7 all over the world is a moron.

They had seven hours to save those men. Nothing was done. We also have General Hamm who was going to respond but was releived of his comman. Way ta go Barry.

I don't need FOX or anyone else to show me what very plain to see.

Those very brave men are dead and our Govt, i.e. Barry and his boys, left them to die.

Of course to all these lefties those three men are collateral damage. Nothing.

The only they are focused on is getting that fuck re-elected.

For my money Barry and his boys can rot in hell.

 

[jtpr312]

Hey dumbass. You're a little bit late with your reporting. FOX news, in it's original story, stated that CIA spokesperson stated no such Stand Down order was given. The FACTS though seem to indicate she, like obama and most liberal democrats, was freaking lying as usual. Gen Carter Ham, Africom commanding officer, had Spec Ops teams ready to go and was not only ordered to Stand Down, but was relieved of command when he refused to follow the order to Stand Down, that immoral, POLITICALLY motivated order that left Americans to die alone while help was less than 1/2 an hour away. Screw you, screw obama and screw any and all leftist scumbags that think it's ok to let Americans die when we had the means to protect them but where ORDERED not to so as not to make the president look like the incompetent, muslim sympathizing son of a bitch we know him to be.

Relying on FoxNews for your information is one step away from Tabloid reading. Actually I'm struggling to even equate it with some of the left wing rags; The Nation, Mother Jones.

It's just crappy Journalism with a very transparent, thinly veneered agenda.

Guess you've decided that the State Department not providiing additional security is a figment of FOX's imagination.

Oh and those four dead men are a figment as well.

Oh and the fact that Barry didn't order them to be saved is another figment.

Oh and Barry trotting out his minions to report that it was a "spontaneous" demonstration and not a terrorist attack. Thats a figment as well.

Yup. Gotta be that crappy journalism and that thinly vaneered agenda.

Yup. Your a blind fucking moron.

 

[Capitalist]

Via CBS News:

CBS News has learned that during the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, the Obama Administration did not convene its top interagency counterterrorism resource: the Counterterrorism Security Group, (CSG).
“The CSG is the one group that’s supposed to know what resources every agency has. They know of multiple options and have the ability to coordinate counterterrorism assets across all the agencies,” a high-ranking government official told CBS News. “They were not allowed to do their job. They were not called upon.”
Counterterrorism sources and internal emails reviewed by CBS News express frustration that key responders were ready to deploy, but were not called upon to help in the attack.
Another senior counter terrorism official says a hostage rescue team was alternately asked to get ready and then stand down throughout the night, as officials seemed unable to make up their minds.
A third potential responder from a counter-terror force stationed in Europe says components of AFICOM — the military’s Africa Command based in Stuttgart, Germany — were working on course of action during the assault. But no plan was put to use…
“The response process was isolated at the most senior level,” says an official referring to top officials in the executive branch. “My fellow counterterrorism professionals and I (were) not consulted.”

Is this the future template for Presidential Elections? Say anything to get your candidate elected, no matter how absolutely deceitful and fraudulent what you are saying turns out to

Would perhaps be different if Obama Administration sent help.

They didn't.

Why ? is a pretty easy question.

 

[Capitalist]

The Las Vegas Review Journal blasted Barack Obama on his Benghazi coverup, lies and omissions.
This was terrific.

Benghazi blunder: Obama unworthy commander-in-chief
This administration is an embarrassment on foreign policy and incompetent at best on the economy – though a more careful analysis shows what can only be a perverse and willful attempt to destroy our prosperity. Back in January 2008, Barack Obama told the editorial board of the San Francisco Chronicle that under his cap-and-trade plan, “If somebody wants to build a coal-fired power plant, they can. It’s just that it will bankrupt them.” He added, “Under my plan … electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.” It was also in 2008 that Mr. Obama’s future Energy Secretary, Steven Chu, famously said it would be necessary to “figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe” – $9 a gallon.
Yet the president now claims he’s in favor of oil development and pipelines, taking credit for increased oil production on private lands where he’s powerless to block it, after he halted the Keystone XL Pipeline and oversaw a 50 percent reduction in oil leases on public lands.
These behaviors go far beyond “spin.” They amount to a pack of lies. To return to office a narcissistic amateur who seeks to ride this nation’s economy and international esteem to oblivion, like Slim Pickens riding the nuclear bomb to its target at the end of the movie “Dr. Strangelove,” would be disastrous.
Candidate Obama said if he couldn’t fix the economy in four years, his would be a one-term presidency.
Mitt Romney is moral, capable and responsible man. Just this once, it’s time to hold Barack Obama to his word. Maybe we can all do something about that, come Tuesday.

Cool - just as expected and right on time. Here is the person who takes one statement, heads down the prim rose path and gets to tell me how I think about a wide assortment of ideas. March on far right winger.

When you're done reading Fox, try some comic books. I'd recommend starting with something simple like Archie. Work yourself up to the complex stuff.
