This can't be significant. It was never reasonable to take issue with attributing the attack to the video, even if mistaken, so why would they respond reasonably to any evidence that it actually was due to the video.

Right on queue, welcome gullible fool :) Oh, and did you know that all of Lerner's emails to and from people outside the IRS got "lost"? Surely you believe that as well.

Lol...withholding my judgement on the veracity of such statements watching the conservative fringe guzzle down the pepto in here is amusing.

Do we really care? Did he actually say it, was he telling the truth? What I care about is if our people asked for help, it could have saved them and help was refused for whatever reason.
Edit:

What you care about is finding a way to blame Obama.

It's not rational, but what passes for thought among American Righties seldom is.

You've already reached an emotionally satisfying conclusion & will defend it with whatever means you can find. When you come up lacking, why, there must be a conspiracy to conceal the facts.

Nothing else matters, does it? Of course not.

,... so, this is a cover up as well? The White House is feeding this guys lines??

See, here is the thing, you know someone is bat shit insane, when every bit of proof you provide to them, they come up with another reason why it is not valid. Their goal, is to smear the President, in any way - regardless if it is improbable or not.

Some of you on here are like that crazy lady who believes there is a planet called Nibiru, that will smash into the Earth. Now, everyone can see it (normal people see a lens flare,.. she and other crazies see a planet,..), but NASA and every government has been covering it up. On top of all of this, aliens have been telepathically communicating to her messages about Nibiru. This is who some of you have become; crazy people.

Don't see the connection.

That question was asked and answered.

I want an answer to why Amb. Stevens refused additional security 3 times offered by the military.

Somewhat predictable given this guy is obviously smart and aware.


Most here should know Benghazi wasn't because of a video. The issue we've debated is the merits of whether blaming the attacks erroneously on the video was understandable or not given the timeline and circumstances.

So it's not all that difficult to know that this is guy is lying, and that his level of esteem for folks who would buy his lie is quite low.

If you are now using his lie to continue infighting on the issue... Congrats you are an easily manipulated moron?

That's an amazing amount of deduction based on basically zero knowledge of the individual involved.

Based on what we know now there's no way to know if he is lying or not, and it would be extremely foolish to assume such. The rush by conservatives to declare lies and conspiracy whenever contrary information comes in is frankly scary. I've lost track of how many ongoing conspiracies they think exist at this point.

The individual here is a derivative, not the function of Benghazi, I wouldn't give him more credit than he's already getting. We know the outcome at Benghazi was not due to the online video. It's not hard to deduct that this individual is being deceitful and or lying or being misrepresented.

This is not a conservatives vs liberal issue from what I'm aware of, left vs righty is distraction here. What did we know when did we know it was the debate, we know it was a pre-planned attack with terrorist elements involved and that the video provided some cover/confusion in the aftermath.

Its incredibly entertaining to watch people use a captured terrorist who is lower than gutter slime and take him at his word. Whether he is lying or not really doesn't matter. Its the fact that some are willing to accept what he says as vindication of the current administration's previous actions. You would think that one could do better than a terrorist to back up a story.

Probably the same people who think a convict is a stellar witness in a murder trail. Especially when said convict was previously implicated in the murder.

Hmmm - in exchange for pleading it was the video he walks away. Not hard to figure out.

Seriously, I haven't followed this crap, so what is the issue this time?

So now the White House will reverse itself once again? Hillary is going to have to delete a lot of youtube videos of her saying she had doubts about the video story.

The best writer for the funniest political satire of all time could not make this shit up.

According to a lot of the righties in here 911 did not happen because of the reasons Osama stated either.

It doesn't matter what this guy says. In fact it's best to disregard everything he says until it's demonstrated as fact. What it does say is that people like him deserve no sympathy, in fact the reverse.

No, because without confirmation, how could she not have had doubts? Doofus?

Wrong. Admittedly, it's nice seeing people I don't like get busted but I'd settle for facts. However, it's nearly impossible to get them without spin. Kind of like reading threads here.

That question was asked and answered.

I didn't hear. Did they call for help when the attacks started? Was it not available in time or was it refused? Or was it bureaucratic red tape BS that would have prevented help no matter
who's in the WH.

Just the facts, please.

Democrats blamed the video, we have been deriding them for blaming Americans for a terrorist attack. This terrorist is now saying things to support the Democrat's position.

AKA, the terrorist is saying Republicans are wrong and Democrats are right.

Forgive me for neither believing nor caring what this guy says.

Suppose someone blows up a train and kills hundreds. One group says that it was a purely politically motivated act of terrorism. The killer says "no, there were a group of people who funded abortion legislation and I saw a movie and didn't like it".

Franky it doesn't matter in that the train was blown up whether it was by anarchists or it was because a group of lunatics who can't watch a video without going homicidal.

Do you know what he's actually said? Have you spoken to him or his buddies? I'm thinking not. You're accepting what the NYT reporting as 'truth', and we all know they are definitely on the up and up and not politically motivated at all :rolleyes:
