It Is Official: Fox News Lied About Benghazi

Nah. We would have plenty to talk about if you guys stopped lying. We just wouldnt be talking about Progressive idealogy
 
Why did the Obama administration spend two weeks playing up a connection to the filmmaker and playing down what the majority of the reports said? To the point of denial in places?

They did something very wrong.

Was there only wrong blowing smoke in our eyes? Did they do that for no good reason at all? Or was there something else they were trying to stop us from seeing when they did their sleight of hand?

So how is it that you divine that all the other reports are BS, but this report with testimony from an unnamed official is the correct report? Are you psychic? Were you there in Libya when this shit was going down? Oh, wait, no, maybe you were present in the WH situation room?

That there is a conflicting report does not establish with any certainty that the right is lying.

Good try, tho. Thanks for playing.

I watch Rivera yesterday get all emotional that while he said :
"“When I heard Charles Woods call the president of the United States a murderer and a liar, it broke my heart,"

The father of Tyler Woods was right when considering these comments made by people regarding Bush and Iraq!!!

So when looking at the FACTS:
Obama sent UN Ambassador to 5 networks explaining Benghazi was due to a video.
Obama spoke at UN blaming Benghazi on the video.
Hillary saying to Charles Woods..despite signs early on that militants were behind the attack -- pledged to him at that event that she would pursue the maker of an anti-Islam film that had been linked to other protests.

The point is EITHER Obama is totally incompetent and didn't KNOW what was going on OR he did know and KNOWINGLY refused to help when prior to the attack Obama was warned about potential Bengazi threats!

Either way incompetent or purposefully just as ANY person in authority is responsible for subordinates safety OBAMA FAILED and therefore is a murderer!

Many of us on the right were basing our opinions and posts on the available sources. Much the same as you are doing with the link in this post. Tomorrow, who knows? One of your sources may redact or publish a story which contravenes this one. Bottom line: I want to know why Americans died in Libya. Irregardless of the political season or sitting administration I demand an explanation.

Well, the source is official and not Fox News; if you have evidence that Obama was responsilbe for the deaths - as many of your side has alleged - please post the evidence or STFU.
 
Benghazi was over a YouTube video that insulted Mohammad.

There was nothing anyone could do.



No, it wasn't.


Libya’s president says the deadly assault on a U.S. consulate was a “pre-planned act of terrorism” timed for the 9/11 anniversary — not spontaneous savagery sparked by an anti-Islam movie.

“They chose this date, 11th of September, to carry a certain message,” President Mohammed Magarief said Wednesday.

The trailer for the California-made film “Innocence of the Muslims” had been on YouTube for several months before the terrorists struck, killing U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

The film had “nothing to do with this attack,” Magarief told NBC’s Anne Curry.

“Reaction should have been, if it was genuine, should have been six months earlier. So it was postponed until the 11th of September.”

Also, Magarief said, there was no Libyan mob outside the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi when the terrorists attacked, first with rocket-propelled grenades and then with mortars that obliterated a safe house.

Of course there were things that could have been done. First and foremost they could have provided more security when Stevens repeatedly asked for it. That alone may have saved the lives of those four men. But those requests were turned down by officials in D.C.
Did the video insult Mohammed and Muslims?


Sure and had the video been the reason for the attack, the attack would have happened months earlier, when the film was first released. But the attack didn't happen then, it happened months later on the anniversary of 9/11.

“Reaction should have been, if it was genuine, should have been six months earlier. So it was postponed until the 11th of September

Even the WH eventually admitted the attack was due to terrorists, rather than the film (well, except for Obama. Natch)

The White House admitted today it was 'self-evident' that the attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya was a terrorist act - but the President himself refused to use this phrase or confirm al-Qaeda involvement.

However nine days after the attacks, Carney said: 'It is, I think, self evident that what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack.

White House admits attack in Libya that killed ambassador Chris Stevens was act of terror | Mail Online

Obama finally, finally admitted that yes the attack was planned, was done by terrorists and was not due to the film. On The View. Good gawd.

The Obama administration is certainly taking its time in admitting what everyone else already knew: that the attack which killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three others on Sept. 11 wasn’t the act of a crappy YouTube video, but of terrorists.

For whatever reason, President Obama only seems comfortable addressing the issue from a comfy couch in a television studio. A week ago on “The Late Show with David Letterman,” he laid the violence at the feet of a “sort of a shadowy character” in the U.S. who made an “extremely offensive video directed at Mohammed.” While taping “The View” on Monday, he evolved a bit in his stance, acknowledging at last that the attack was planned and not just a spontaneous uprising.

Cripes, two hours after the attacks began the WH knew that this was not due to the reaction of some film.

Officials at the White House and State Department were advised two hours after attackers assaulted the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11 that an Islamic militant group had claimed credit for the attack, official emails show.

This, just two days after the attack:

“The attack would have taken place regardless of the protest against a movie that insults Islam,” Benotman, who is a former member of the Libyan Islamist Fighting Group, told CNN.

The protests, which took place the same evening as the armed assault, were nominally directed against an amateur film trailer produced by a US resident, seen as insulting to the Prophet Mohamed.

But the Quilliam Foundation believes it is more likely that the armed assault was a response to a video statement released by Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri to commemorate the 11th anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks of 11 September 2001.

In the video, Zawahiri confirmed the recent killing of his deputy Abu Yahya al-Libi in a US drone strike in June, and called on Libyans to avenge his death.

Obama lied when he said, for weeks, that the cause of the attack was due to the film. Period. But if you want to keep believing that lie, go for it.

They died because American foreign policy in regards to the Middle East since the end of WW II has been misguided. Even before the Second World War Western nations treated the Middle East, Africa and SE Asia with total disregard for their culture and as if the resources of these regions were free for the taking.

The immediate cause in the instant matter is obvious, a criminal element attacked US territory in Libya. I suppose someone needs to catch and ask a participant why he or she acted as they did.

But to suggest The President allowed either intentionally or by incompetence this event to occur, as some on your side of the aisle did, is absurd, mean spirited and dishonest. What you say maybe true, more info will come out, but I simply believe an official statement is more probative than speculation by Fox News or anyone who posts here.

Cause and effect may be too challenging for you.

We know the film was released and there were violent responses to it in the Muslim World. That's a fact.

We now AQ and other splinter or independent groups exist which hate America (and Western Europe). That's a fact.

We know the Muslim World is a powder keg and leaders within scapegoat us in an effort to remain in power. We also know those without power, the fringe extremist Muslims, want power.

How is it far fetched to believe an incident such as this film was not at least a catalyst for the Benghazi attack?

Calling the President a liar is a cheap shot. You have no clue what was in his mind, the mind of the terrorists or others who may have been involved at the early stages of violent protest in Libya on the night in question.
 
Fox's Own Experts Reject Fox Narrative That Obama Deliberately Abandoned Americans In Libya

Fox News' argument that the Obama administration deliberately abandoned Americans in Libya to let them die in the Benghazi terrorist attack is apparently so odious that even Fox's own experts and commentators are rebelling against the narrative.

Fox News hosts and contributors have repeatedly suggested that the Obama administration made a "political decision" to allow Americans to be killed in the September 11 Benghazi, Libya, attack on an American compound, even though U.S. agents and the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli rushed to aid the compound during the attack, and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said that the attack was over before the U.S. military had sufficient information on which to act.

On the November 2 edition of Fox & Friends, retired Gen. Jack Keane discussed claims that, in the words of guest co-host Eric Bolling, the Obama administration "did not call on the only response team that may have been able to intervene during the attack." Keane responded:

KEANE: Here's what did happen. The national security apparatus, at the request of General Hamm, who's the commander of AFRICOM -- and he's had responsibility from a security aspect to respond to this crisis -- our national mission response force, our most classified force on the highest state of readiness, was alerted and moved from the United States to Sigonella [Naval Air Station in Italy], and they bring with them their own aircraft, their own helicopters and C-17s. Another classified special operations force was moved out of Central Europe to Sigonella as well. The fact of the matter was the CIA base was evacuated prior to their arrival at Sigonella, so they were never employed.

So in other words it was still a failure to help by the obamaturd administration. Got it.
 
Meh...one more opinion.

What we do know is this - the Obama Administration made a political decision NOT to send help and 4 Americans died. Then the entire Administration lied about what really happened, blaming it all on a "spontaneous crowd" upset over a video on you tube...yeah, that's the ticket!! ....

Bottom line- Obama screwed up. If he was any kind of a LEADER he would admit a mistake was made, accept responsibility and move on. But he can't....so he continues to lie.....PATHETIC.
 
I didn't hear that. It was only part of the interview and it didn't say much.

The only thing sadder than someone who can't tell the difference between a opinion and a fact is someone who cites Media matters as a source.
