Can't accept things can happen concurrently when angry ****ed up groups assemble, it appears.
Does denying there was ANY video fan-flaming make you feel more huggy to daddy Fox, who insisted it had nothing to do with it?
It was two-fold, as we know now, the CIA op made it necessary to blow some smoke and make the video a part of it, or I should say, stronger than it was and, and perhaps because the conflicting intel was telling them it played a part?
There were people scaling the walls of our Embassy in Cairo, burning our flag -- just a few hours earlier because of that video - and demonstrations erupted at our Embassies and elsewhere
ALL OVER THE WORLD, in some 54 incidents in twenty Countries for gawds sake. This was going on for days and days after. That stupid video did ignite a good part of the Muslim world. We know it did.
And this, my post from
October of 2012 ::::
There were people there in Benghazi who claimed the video was why they were angry. That was from initial eye-witness accounts. Now we read
the Al-Sharia group was gathering restless Muslims from nearby neighborhoods to chant against the film.
"The neighbors all described the militants setting up checkpoints around the compound at about 8 p.m. The State Department’s timeline says the attack itself began at around 9:40 p.m.
Khaled al-Haddar, a lawyer who passed by the scene as he headed to his nearby home, said he saw the fighters gathering a few youths from among passers-by and urged them to chant against the film."
Libyan witnesses recount organized Benghazi attack - Washington Times
To repeat:
There were people there in Benghazi who claimed the video was why they were angry - join that up with the Ansar al-Sharia (who first claimed, then denied responsibility) crowd - who no doubt were mightily pissed and ready to do us harm to begin with, and add the gasoline of that video to their whacked out religious sensibilities, and you get KA-BOOM!
It's not like the "reasons" can't happen concurrently, and the Intel was, as officials tell us, still fluid.
But no, you go with...the video had
nothing to do with it.
Maybe it will help you guys win the next election.
