Who Started The Benghazi "Real-Time" Video Falsehood?

[Claudette]

Four people died because of this administration's incompetence, and you liberals who defend Hillary should be ashamed of yourselves. You wouldn't be dismissing this if one of those victims had been a family member of YOUR'S.

You bet. If they had relatives in that consulate they would be singing a different tune. Big time. And If Bush were POTUS during Benghazi they would be screaming like stuck pigs and demanding answers. They would be saying he let them die as he jetted off to his Vegas fundraiser. Oh wait. I forgot. That was the current fuck in the WH. Never mind.

Of course because its the current fuck in the WH they don't want any other answer than the one the administration is putting out. Of course they would never lie. They are Dems.

An admiral and a general both get relieved of command?? Coincidence?? Don't know bout you but I'm not a big believer in coincidence.

The State Department ignored repeated requests for more security. Hell other embassies and the Red Cross pulled out because of threats. That speaks volumes right there.

No. Benghazi was a major fuck up by the fucks State Department. Its just to bad that the bosses weren't in that consulate when the attack occurred. They would be dead instead of those four very good men.

I think it's despicable when people attach themselves to the pain of others. We are all Americans but we are not all suffering. The Administration is not at fault for the violence

Administrations don't kill Ambassadors, terrorists do.

Adminstrations also have an obligation to protect American working for them.

Terrorists did kill those four very good men and the administration did nothing to assist those four very good men. Terrorist might not have been able to kill them if security had been beefed up. Hell other embassies and the Red Cross pulled out because of threats. We should have done the same. Failing that we should have beefed up security big time.

That wasn't done and four very good men are dead.

 

[Crackerjaxon]

The fact remains that the state department was apprised of the situation, yes, in real time, and lied to the American people concerning the incident.

Do you think they lied to the president, too?

 

[Crackerjaxon]

When the rubes regurgitated the "Obama watched as they died" fabrication for weeks on end, they betrayed themselves as not being the slightest bit interested in discovering the truth. So any faux concern they express over Benghazi should be taken as nothing more significant than the posturing of empty-headed puppets.

That's what the "what does it matter" remark by Hillary means. She is rightfully blowing off the nitwits who have false pretensions. They don't merit a response to any of their questions.

No, she was covering her ass because she is guilty of betraying the American people by lying to them about what really happened at Benghazi.

What does it matter if they were informed by telephone or video? She knew the truth and lied.

Plainly, the president know the truth and, at best, was complicit in the lie to the American people.

After apologizing for his loss, Woods said Clinton told him that the U.S. would
“make sure that the person who made that film is arrested and prosecuted.”
Hillary Clinton to father of American murdered in Libya: We?ll ?make sure that the person who made that film is arrested and prosecuted? | RedState

This was done BEFORE the election. By pointing to the video ANY possible "Terrorist" Act was refuted.
The blame was first put on the video. Hillary's words.

Directed by political considerations that the slogan "Osama is dead..GM alive" showed voters Obama tough on terrorists and winning the war!

Blaming the video kept that falsehood alive and all to protect a political perception to secure voters for re-election!

Side note... another example of MSM bias... little if ANY comment regarding Hillary's statement either at the time or in clarifying her testimony!
NO MSM seemed to see the linkage between her comment to Woods' father and political expediency!

It is despicable that some people only care about this because of misplaced ideological reasons. Four people gave their lives representing what is best about America and people like you are showing off what is worse in American politics

It is the security professionals within the State Dept who are charged with the safety of our people overseas. In Libya we had a consulate, not an embassy and the Ambassador didn't want to pull out. He wasn't a chickenshit like most who now shield their partisan ideological attacks behind his and the pothers sacrifice.

Why can't all you people be as honest as some of the most shrill and partisan types here who speak from their blackened hearts, and admit they see things the way you do because they are filled with hate and loathing for the President and Secretary Clinton?

 

[taichiliberal]

Neocons, teabaggers, birthers, oathers.....the same collection of parrots and clowns that bought into McConnell's declaration are now lemmings to the cliff in the latest GOP diatribe to discredit Obama.

Thing is, the little dopes are just too stubborn to realize that there is no "smoking gun" here other than the distortions and lies fed to them by the likes of Hannity, Crowley, Levin, Drudge, Klein and Limbaugh.

More to the point, they ignore the FACT that it was the BUSH administration and the GOP in Congress that CONSISTENTLY denied the State Dept. increased funding for security in the last decade.

No one is buying their BS anymore, as the election proved...and 2014 has them sweating bullets.

Judging by Dante's rhetoric, I suspect she writes speeches for Obabble.

How do you know that Stevens didn't want out? Do tell where you've gotten this information. While you're at it, why don't you tell us why, knowing that the host government wasn't capable of protecting our consulate staff, did we leave American personnel unprotected in a country where we had already sustained multiple attacks. You claim to be in the know. Fill the rest of us in on the details.

Just because you say Voters were told that doesn't mean it's true. Here is an excert from the speech he made the night they announced OBL's death.

For over two decades, bin Laden has been al Qaeda's leader and symbol, and has continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends and allies. The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al Qaeda.

Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort. There's no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us. We must -- and we will -- remain vigilant at home and abroad.

As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not -- and never will be -- at war with Islam. I've made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against Islam. Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader; he was a mass murderer of Muslims.

Osama Bin Laden Dead: Obama Speech Video And Transcript (VIDEO)

What difference does it make ?

Because American voters were told Obama had terrorism on the run!
Osama was dead .. GM is alive" actual campaign slogan and talking heads Democrats all passed on that the War on Terror is over .. it is NOW a legal effort!
BUT when 9/11/12 Benghazi occurred that was a terrorist act.. so why did Rice go on TV and saying these exact words:

"based on the best information we have to date, what our assessment is as of the present is in fact what began spontaneously in Benghazi as a reaction to what had transpired some hours earlier in Cairo where, of course, as you know, there was a violent protest outside of our embassy –sparked by this hateful video.
But soon after that spontaneous protest began outside of our consulate in Benghazi, we believe that it looks like extremist elements, individuals, joined in that– in that effort with heavy weapons of the sort that are, unfortunately, readily now available in Libya post-revolution. And that it spun from there into something much, much more violent."
Actually, yes, Susan Rice did say the Benghazi attacks were spontaneous | WashingtonExaminer.com


THEN HILLARY told this to a parent of one of the 4 dead Americans:

Hillary Clinton’s comments to Woods raise even more questions about the White House’s official story on the Benghazi attack, which has already been extremely inconsistent.
After apologizing for his loss, Woods said Clinton told him that the U.S. would “make sure that the person who made that film is arrested and prosecuted.”

WHY would it be so important to make sure the videographer was arrested and prosecuted???

That's the difference! By DEFLECTING to the video.. Americans would vote for Obama because after all it wasn't a terrorist attack but spontaneous reaction the that
awful video!!!

 

[S.J.]

Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort. There's no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us. We must -- and we will -- remain vigilant at home and abroad.

Except Benghazi or anywhere else we don't feel like protecting Americans.

By Simon Maloy

Washington Post media writer Erik Wemple has been working doggedly to correct one of Sean Hannity's favorite false claims about the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi: that State Department officials watched "real-time" video of the assault from an office in Washington, DC. Wemple's efforts got an assist from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who testified before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs on January 23: "There was no monitor, there was no real time." As Wemple's debunking of the falsehood makes clear, Hannity has been the primary driver of this claim by repeating on a near-daily basis. But the "real-time" video falsehood did not start with the Fox News host. In fact, one of the first mentions -- perhaps the first -- of the spurious Benghazi video was on Jennifer Rubin's Washington Post blog.

The whole story starts with an October 10, 2012, hearing of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. At that hearing, Charlene Lamb, the deputy assistant secretary of state for international programs, had this exchange with Rep. James Lankford (R-OK), describing how she followed via telephone the developments in the Benghazi attack as they were happening:

So because he said it once, were suppose to ignore the message being sent the rest of the time?

Kinda like how he says in speeches he wants to Cut spending, but in Practice DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT?

How disingenuous can you be? Why was Ambassador Stephens in Benghazi if he felt security was lacking? Was he sent there or did he go on his own. Who is in charge of security for ambassadors?

It was State Dept Charlene Lamb that testified she watched in real time ~

Charlene Lamb, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for International Programs, said in her prepared testimony (.pdf) that she had a firm grasp on what happened in Benghazi, starting mere moments after the mission came under assault. ”When the attack began, a Diplomatic Security agent working in the tactical operations center immediately… alerted the annex U.S. quick reaction security team stationed nearby … and the Diplomatic Security Command Center in Washington. From that point on, I could follow what was happening in almost real-time,” Lamb explained.

State Department: We Monitored Libya Attack 'in Almost Real Time' | Danger Room | Wired.com



The U.S. State Department monitored the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, “in almost real-time,” according to an official who oversees diplomatic security.

Charlene Lamb, deputy assistant secretary of state for international programs in the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, said a security agent activated a danger-notification system as the attack began shortly before 10 p.m. local time on Sept. 11.

Shitting Bull is busted for lying again.

Benghazi video reveals ?heroic events? - Video on NBCNews.com

 

[Freewill]

What have we determined.

1. There is real-time video of the events. Whether or not the video of the events was monitored at the time no one admits to but what was the purpose if they were not to be monitored?

2. Charlene Lamb admits she could track events nearly real-time.

So although the real-time VIDEO may be an addition to Lamb's testimony certainly, if she is to be believed, events were being tracked, by her and I assume others.
