for 1 week only, some Americans thought it could have been the video alone, that caused benghazi, after that, a terrorist attack was on the table as a cause, by the administration....
1 week, would not make a difference with the election....the whole narrative from republicans on this is utterly ridiculous....
it never was going to hurt Obama's reelection....whether it was a video or a terrorist group that attacked...
why repubs would think it would have made a difference is mind boggling....
That you think it's okay to lie to families for, according to you, no good reason..that's mind boggling.
I said this on another thread on this so will just copy and paste it here:
There are many many National security reasons in the immediate aftermath of such events for our Government to not go out on world television and tell the perps what our Intelligence knows....
This is not for me to decide or to stomp my feet on...I am not a high level person in the CIA, or NSA, or the State Dept, or the Defense dept, and am not privy to the top secret/confidential information, they know....
I expect them to be making these decisions on whether they want 'the enemy' to know they are on to them or not, via national/world television appearances....
It's selfish and childish and ridiculous to expect the government to report to me in person on something like this that I know nothing about.... within the first few days or week of the actual tragedy overseas...
And this is NOT a new stance for me...I have said this a few times at the very beginning of this incident, on this very board, a few years back....and time has not changed my 'rational' position on it.
