He blamed benghazi on the video for weeks, even after he knew that the video had nothing to do with it. Its called lying.
Except he knew nothing of the sort. What they got wrong was that there was no copy-cat demonstration against the Video in front of the Consulate as in Egypt, however one cannot say the video, (or rather the over-reaction to the video), had nothing to do with the attacks.
Within one hour of the attacks, he had Panetta and others in the oval office presenting him the evidence as to why it was an obvious well orchestrated well planned attack by a sub group of Al- Quaeda.
He was well aware that the video had nothing to do with it.
Yet he opted to blame the fact that we have a first amendment for the attacks anyway.
Sorry bro....his act was selfish, for political expediency and he should be called on it.
But you prefer to suck his dick and beg to be his sex slave.
So be it.
two contradictory story lines.
One has it that the video, which was posted on YouTube, inspired spontaneous street protests that got out of hand. This version, based on early intelligence reports, was initially offered publicly by Susan E. Rice, who is now Mr. ObamaÂ’s national security adviser.
The other, favored by Republicans, holds that Mr. Stevens died in a carefully planned assault by Al Qaeda to mark the anniversary of its strike on the United States 11 years before. Republicans have accused the Obama administration of covering up evidence of Al QaedaÂ’s role to avoid undermining the presidentÂ’s claim that the group has been decimated, in part because of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
The investigation by The Times shows that the reality in Benghazi was different, and murkier, than either of those story lines suggests. Benghazi was not infiltrated by Al Qaeda, but nonetheless contained grave local threats to American interests. The attack does not appear to have been meticulously planned, but neither was it spontaneous or without warning signs.
Mr. Abu Khattala had become well known in Benghazi for his role in the killing of a rebel general, and then for declaring that his fellow Islamists were insufficiently committed to theocracy. He made no secret of his readiness to use violence against Western interests. One of his allies, the leader of Benghazi’s most overtly anti-Western militia, Ansar al-Shariah, boasted a few months before the attack that his fighters could “flatten” the American Mission. Surveillance of the American compound appears to have been underway at least 12 hours before the assault started.
The violence, though, also had spontaneous elements. Anger at the video motivated the initial attack. Dozens of people joined in, some of them provoked by the video and others responding to fast-spreading false rumors that guards inside the American compound had shot Libyan protesters. Looters and arsonists, without any sign of a plan, were the ones who ravaged the compound after the initial attack, according to more than a dozen Libyan witnesses as well as many American officials who have viewed the footage from security cameras.
