You are little more that a Peoples Temple drone defending Jim Jones. You have utterly no respect for reality or truth, and utter virtually anything in defense of your little tin god.

NBCs chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell told Meet the Press host David Gregory Sunday that the Obama administrations original account of the terrorist attack in Benghazi was in fact a coverup.
The Obama administration, including then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were trying to conceal the existence of a covert Central Intelligence Agency base at the same diplomatic outpost where Ambassador Christopher Stevens was murdered.

Jim Jones Drone? Really?
The investigation by The Times shows that the reality in Benghazi was different, and murkier, than either of those story lines suggests. Benghazi was not infiltrated by Al Qaeda, but nonetheless contained grave local threats to American interests. The attack does not appear to have been meticulously planned, but neither was it spontaneous or without warning signs.
Mr. Abu Khattala had become well known in Benghazi for his role in the killing of a rebel general, and then for declaring that his fellow Islamists were insufficiently committed to theocracy. He made no secret of his readiness to use violence against Western interests. One of his allies, the leader of Benghazis most overtly anti-Western militia, Ansar al-Shariah, boasted a few months before the attack that his fighters could flatten the American Mission. Surveillance of the American compound appears to have been underway at least 12 hours before the assault started.
The violence, though, also had spontaneous elements. Anger at the video motivated the initial attack. Dozens of people joined in, some of them provoked by the video and others responding to fast-spreading false rumors that guards inside the American compound had shot Libyan protesters. Looters and arsonists, without any sign of a plan, were the ones who ravaged the compound after the initial attack, according to more than a dozen Libyan witnesses as well as many American officials who have viewed the footage from security cameras.
