So it still begs the question--the question that nobody at the press conference this week had the balls to ask--who told Ambassador Rice, days after the attack on Benghazi, to go out and tell a bald faced lie on five different Sunday news programs? Who changed the story? And why? And what was she promised in return for doing it? (And if she didn't know the truth by that time she is certainly too naive and clueless to be in that position and certainly is not competent for a promotion. And if she did know the truth and still put out the lie as adamently as she did, she is too dishonest for that position and/or promotion.)
The spectacle of President Obama defending his pretty, delicate U.N. Ambassador at the press conference, and the press letting him get away with that, was an abomination to journalistic integrity. Can you imagine President Bush getting away with complaining that the press or the Democrats were unfairly picking on John Bolton?
Perhaps you should try reading something other than the very right wing media that lied to you and fooled you about a Romney landslide, that has also put the right wing in to a rabid frenzy over this, and you may get some answers foxfire?
WASHINGTON -- Ex-CIA Director David Petraeus told lawmakers Friday that classified intelligence showed the deadly raid on the U.S. Consulate in Libya was a terrorist attack, but that the administration withheld the suspected role of specific al-Qaida affiliates to avoid tipping off the terrorist groups.
The recently resigned spy chief explained that references to terrorist groups suspected of carrying out the violence were removed from the public explanation of what caused the attack so as not to tip off the groups that the U.S. intelligence community was on their trail, according to lawmakers who attended the private briefings.
Petraeus also said it initially was unclear whether militants infiltrated a demonstration to cover their attack.
The retired four-star general addressed the House and Senate intelligence committees in back-to-back, closed-door hearings as questions persist over what the Obama administration knew in the immediate aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks and why their public description did not match intelligence agencies' assessments.
After the hearings, lawmakers who questioned Petraeus said he testified that the CIA's draft talking points written in response to the assault on the diplomat post in Benghazi that killed four Americans referred to it as a terrorist attack. But Petraeus told the lawmakers that reference was removed from the final version, although he wasn't sure which federal agency deleted it.
Democrats said Petraeus made it clear the change was not done for political reasons during President Barack Obama's re-election campaign. "The general was adamant there was no politicization of the process, no White House interference or political agenda," said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif. "He completely debunked that idea."

Are you one of the ones that also believes the Ambassador was raped and dragged through the streets in joy by the perps?
Are you also one of the ones that claims Obama was watching and rubbing his hands together in GLEE as these 4 were killed?
Are you also one of the ones that said Obama told them to stand down and let themselves be killed?
Are you also one of the ones who claimed no help was sent?
I hope you were not fooled by the beloved right wing media propaganda machine and if you were you've learned a lesson from it......
Now, can we get down to catching all the perps so justice can prevail instead of spending time on this faux right wing rabid 'GOTCHA mr president' propaganda?
