Lying as a profession must be exhausting…..   Trying to test the water temp on the media pool Cabinet Member, Ambassador Susan Rice, pokes head out.   Briefly.    Yet, doubles down on stupid.

WASHINGTON DC – U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice, in her first public comments on Libya since her controversial account days after the attack, blamed intelligence community talking points for the faulty narrative.

“What the Flip you looking at me for?…. she [Hillary] already done took the blame”….

The light-on-details explanation Monday came as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took responsibility for any security failures leading up to the consulate attack last month.

But with the accounts coming as both presidential candidates head into a debate Tuesday night that will focus in part on foreign policy, neither appeared to settle mounting questions on the Hill about how the administration got the story so wrong. (more…)

Probably because indeed he is. It is useful to remember this recent post about CNN as it pertains to covering up for the White House Cairo Embassy fiasco. Then watch the video:

Propaganda Panel. The 2012 U.S version of 1938/9 German media.

Before I watched this I was leaning toward giving her benefit of the doubt. But when questioned about the false narrative surrounding the Muhammed Video motive, the snickering sneer just reminded me of all that is horrid with Pantsuits. Actually, how could she answer that question? She stood above the caskets of four dead Americans and lied about what caused their death. Sickening. Watch the giggle.

Regardless of what political swords Hillary chooses to accept vis-a-vis her involvement, or lack thereof, for Libyan security.    None of that changes the primary issue(s).

(CNN)  Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday tried to douse a political firestorm over the deadly assault on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya, saying she’s responsible for the security of American diplomatic outposts.

“I take responsibility,” Clinton said during a visit to Peru. “I’m in charge of the State Department’s 60,000-plus people all over the world, 275 posts. The president and the vice president wouldn’t be knowledgeable about specific decisions that are made by security professionals. They’re the ones who weigh all of the threats and the risks and the needs and make a considered decision.”  (article)

Serious questions remain.   What happened?    How was  Sean Smith killed, why couldn’t the security on the ground defend ambassador Stevens, and what was going on within that compound for four plus hours before they retreated to the Annex?

Whose bloody handprints are on the wall?   Whose blood was in the ambassador’s bathroom?    No bad guys shot or killed?   Where are the people who survived?   Why are they not being interviewed and in public? (more…)

Why?… probably because he didn’t.

Important to remember two points:   #1)  The attack happened at 3:40 pm Washington DC time on 9/11 and lasted til around Midnight DC time.   AND #2)  The Tactical Operations Command officer was in immediate contact with Washington DC, “in real time”.

So Chris Wallace is asking about the following day, on Wednesday 9/12.   Did President Obama meet with Security Council, or National Security and discuss attack?

The lies are beginning to surface, and our discoveries continue.   We began here.  And we continue with this important aspect with HatTips to Sibiljx, Yankeeintx, and TruthFan:

Early in the Benghazi Consulate attack several news sources began showing aerial pictures of the Benghazi compound.   Most of them look similar.

Washington Post                          and                     Daily Mail

More Here, and More Here, and More Here.

The pictures describe the same thing as the “official State Dept. Description” of the consulate compound being 300 x 100 yards. But something doesn’t add up (more…)

Weapons Of Misdirection

This story is growing more curious by the day.   As each new factual aspect is placed in the puzzle the picture becomes more clear; and stronger evidence for an attempted, albeit botched, kidnapping attempt comes to the surface.

Bookmark this official State Dept. Briefing/Report – Conference Call, because we are going to be referencing it until any more updated “Official Reporting” comes out.   But right now this official story has more holes than Swiss Cheese:

[…]  They set up shop in a hotel, as I mentioned. A few weeks later in June, a bomb explodes in the parking lot in front of the hotel. The group in Benghazi makes a decision to move to a new location. They move to a couple of places, and by August they settle on a large compound which is where the actual activity on 9/11 took place. So they’re in a large compound, where they remain.  (the report)

If they didn’t set up shop at the compound til August, then how come there was an IED explosion there in June?    When the perimeter wall was blown up and a hole big enough for 40 men was created. (more…)

This was predictable. See the below Huffington Post article intended to create cover in advance of the Second Presidential Debate tomorrow. Their Goal is to make discussing the Benghazi attack seem like political opportunism, thereby stopping Mitt Romney from leveraging it against President Obama with honest questions.

I hate the Media.

(HuffPo) The father of Christopher Stephens, the United States ambassador who was killed in the attack in Libya last month, said Saturday that it would be “abhorrent” for his son’s death to be politicized in the presidential campaign.

In an interview with Bloomberg News, Jan Stevens said the attack on Benghazi and the ensuing investigation has no place in the upcoming election.

“The security matters are being adequately investigated,” Stevens, who is getting briefings from the State Department on the investigation, said. “We don’t pretend to be experts in security. It has to be objectively examined. That’s where it belongs. It does not belong in the campaign arena.”

Since the September 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Mitt Romney has been critical of President Obama’s response to the tragedy, slamming the president for lapses in security at the American compound. (more…)

Sorry to be so blunt but this is INTENTIONAL MANIPULATIVE LYING by a Dem Operative following a chosen directive from the Obama administration.

The Libyan diplomatic corp had specifically requested security for Benghazi:

[…]  The House letter also says that multiple U.S. federal government officials confirmed they made repeated requests for better security in Benghazi, but their requests were denied by officials in Washington.

This is what it looks like when Alinskyites are caught red handed.  No lie is too big to spew, no truth is to important to stretch.  The needle on the BS meter pings and breaks off.   They just don’t care.   They will do anything, say anything, and position anyone and anything just to retain power at all costs.   They don’t care.

Former Michigan Governor Jennifer Grandholm, now a paid media pundit, is lying with a purpose. She is disgustingly telling flat out lies in order to cover for the Obama administration and create smoke screens for them to hide behind.

Now that we have the Official State Department moment by moment statement of what took place in Benghazi, Libya, there are SERIOUS issues with the divergent stories.

For the sake of this discussion thread lets focus on clarity and try to cut through the spin.

First, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice was elevated to a cabinet level position by President Obama.  Susan Rice works for the White House, not the State Dept.   For the sake of understanding the difference, it’s easiest to say that Ambassador Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton are equals in the eyes of the administration.   Ambassador Rice does not report to Secretary Clinton, she reports to President Obama directly as a member of his cabinet.  Period.

So when Susan Rice was selling the Muhammed Movie protest narrative, she was doing so on behalf of the President, not the State Dept.   Someone in the media needs to call out this distinction and stop allowing the White House to obfuscate. (more…)
