obama, rice, hillary, and the rest of the dems lied about it, no report can ever change that fact. IT WAS NOT A SPONTANEOUS DEMONSTRATION CAUSED BY A VIDEO. THEY LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THEY KNEW THEY WERE LYING WHEN THEY DID IT.
Evidently they didn't lie
The demonstrations were attended by multiple groups there with different agendas. And, yes, there were demonstrators there because of the video
It was exploited by AlQaeda
The entire freaknut Muslim world was going nuts that week about that stupid video -- never mind the Grand Mafti putting out a FATWA on the makers of that video all over eastern TV's, never mind Terry Jones, never mind Romney and his idiocy of that degenerat political play the night of 911- while the bodies weren't even cold -- denouncing the video --
never mind the flurry, never mind the viral spread, never mind world-wide news, never mind these religious fundies go nuts at just a
two dimensional depiction of their prophet -- just a CARTOON in a magazine -- they call for the death -- NOoooooooooooooooooooooo...
It's un ****ingimaginable protests could occur when they hear word a movie has been made about their prophet *****ing a pig, having sex with men, having their Prophet depicted in the most vile way -- no, they would not erupt...
Religious fundamentalists can't go zany when
their Jesus is pig ****ing.
Yeah, it couldn't be that
some of those nut cases were drawn in by the video -- noooooo...
Prior to 9/11/2012 there were few if any protests. On 9/11 there was one protest in Cairo and the attack in Benghazi. All the rest of the protests happened after 9/11. So it could be very well argued that the words of Obama and Rice inflamed the riots in the middle east. That is what happens when people say things they do not know if true or not.
That's ******* ridiculous.
the day after the attack, notes people there were saying it was the video?
This is a September 12th, 2012 Report --
Libya consulate attack came after militants joined protesters, say witnesses, officials - The Washington Post
"At least an hour before the assault began, a stream of cars was seen moving toward the U.S. Consulate in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi. By late Tuesday evening, as many as 50 heavily armed militants had gathered outside its high walls.
They joined protesters outside the consulate who were demonstrating against an American movie that they believed denigrated the prophet Muhammad. But according to one witness, the new arrivals neither chanted slogans nor carried banners.
“They said, ‘We are Muslims defending the prophet. We are defending Islam,’ ” Libyan television journalist Firas Abdelhakim said in an interview.
=========
What was being pumped up in the Muslim world was a total affront to the religious reactionaries who go bazonkers when they hear word their Prophet is being depicted in a bad light, in this case, like a pig ****er. It was MAJOR headlines. all.over. the. world.
You know it. It's lunacy to say the kooks were whipped up by Obama. Sheer lunacy.
I know it's hard to imagine, total devout fundamentalist religious folks who would freak if Jesus were to be part of a film made by people you hate where he screwed animals and had sex with men, but --- you know, some of the really orthodox religious people kinda blow a lid when its taken to that level.
That film took it that level. That's why you saw protests at our embassies and outposts in 54 counties/locales all across the globe that week because of that film.
Not excusing it, just saying these religious fundamentalists get unspooled when you say their Prophet ****s dogs.
---As I've said all along, many of these are unstable, uneducated fanatics.
I don't know why people find it so amazing it could be both -- the video
and some of the factions in that crowd that preplanned it.
And, as I've also noted for years now, ---> a few days
before the attack,
a fatwa had been ordered by the Grand Mafti regarding that video.
Things can happen concurrently when angry, ****ed up groups assemble.
Determining the *exact* reason? From the moment, the days after... when the world was aflame in Muslim protests freaking the **** out-- yeah, that's something the State Department should have nailed down with lazer point precision.
I mean, whynotfor? Acourse. As my three year old niece would put it..
