FE. Sucks when the facts begin to come out and they do not support your shrill version of events doesn't it? http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinio...d93_story.html

Yahoo has a similar article citing CIA reports. That to lefty for you? Don't like what your reading? F**k them. What does Limbaugh say. Eh?

If they were right, they would already match my point of view!

Yes. I was just countering the graphic.

So, FE, when does any of your sources start admitting to Libyan government officials delaying the inclusion of American soldiers to help out in this incident?

The team went to the Tripoli airport with a suitcase full of cash to find a plane to fly to Benghazi. They were delayed because Libyan authorities insisted the Americans be accompanied by a larger Libyan force on the ground in Benghazi, which took time to assemble[...]

Is that Obama's fault too?

Maybe if Republicans hadn't cut over $400 million on embassy security funding, an event like this could have been avoided? The door swings both ways, buddy.

I apologize if I came off as trying to state that the media is overly critical of liberal ideas in general. You probably didn't take it that way, but I just wanted to clarify. I'm simply pointing out that the "liberal media" is not spreading "propaganda" and has actually been unfavorable to Obama in most major outlets.

#1 you do know Brietbart is dead don't you? That being said that article is so full of supposition and conjecture. Its a Republican attempt to swift boat Obama but the facts won't let it fly.

Our media is clearly corrupt... What CBS didn't think that footage was important after Obama claimed during the debate that he called the attack an attack of "terrorism".

yeah, that is liberal media bias and our country is sick of it.

Accountability Review Board unclassified report on facts and circumstances surrounding the September 11-12, 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya

[FreeEnterprise]

Well, since the election is over, and their messiah is back in his place destroying our economy...

We now find out all my posts in this thread were actually...

Correct.

Wow, our President lied to get elected... Shocking a democrat lying... Oh wait. The media helped him.. Must have been their conservative bias. hahaha!

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-...use-committee/

Will this become a major news story?... Naa, this is "old" or something, just ignore it.

""The stakes are pretty high," Zarate said. "If it turns out that there's some indication that the White House or others were not only manipulating talking points, framing how Susan Rice was talking about this on the Sunday talk shows, but was actually trying to construe this in a way that demonstrated it wasn't a terror attack, and that actually impacted our response - the fact that perhaps they didn't put things in motion was because it was purposely not being treated or discussed as a terror attack from the get-go, that's a real problem.""


I wonder if the guy thrown in prison for making the Youtube video that Obama said caused this (on Sept 11th... dur, hur!) will be released? Ahh, who cares about him... he caused all those deaths, AMIRITE?...

[PBOldTimer]

Holy thread-resurrection, bat man!

[jamest91]

because the hearing of investigation was today

[EPAPressure]

SF dudes also speaking out

[jamest91]

The hearing is just going to prove what we already knew, but the left wing media and government didn't want us to find out.

This whole Benghazi thing is blown WAY out of proportion directly due to media slandering from the right. The left isn't covering this? The left didn't even cover the 13 similar attacks when Bush was president.

January 22, 2002. Calcutta, India. Gunmen associated with Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami attack the U.S. Consulate. Five people are killed.

June 14, 2002. Karachi, Pakistan. Suicide bomber connected with al-Qaida attacks the U.S. Consulate, killing 12 and injuring 51.

October 12, 2002. Denpasar, Indonesia. U.S. diplomatic offices bombed as part of a string of “Bali Bombings.” No fatalities.

February 28, 2003. Islamabad, Pakistan. Several gunmen fire upon the U.S. Embassy. Two people are killed.

May 12, 2003. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Armed al-Qaida terrorists storm the diplomatic compound killing 36 people including nine Americans. The assailants committed suicide by detonating a truck bomb.

July 30, 2004. Tashkent, Uzbekistan. A suicide bomber from the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan attacks the U.S. Embassy, killing two people.

December 6, 2004. Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Al-Qaida terrorists storm the U.S. Consulate and occupy the perimeter wall. Nine people are killed.

March 2, 2006. Karachi, Pakistan again. Suicide bomber attacks the U.S. Consulate killing four people, including U.S. diplomat David Foy who was directly targeted by the attackers. (I wonder if Lindsey Graham or Fox News would even recognize the name “David Foy.” This is the third Karachi terrorist attack in four years on what’s considered American soil.)

September 12, 2006. Damascus, Syria. Four armed gunmen shouting “Allahu akbar” storm the U.S. Embassy using grenades, automatic weapons, a car bomb and a truck bomb. Four people are killed, 13 are wounded.

January 12, 2007. Athens, Greece. Members of a Greek terrorist group called the Revolutionary Struggle fire a rocket-propelled grenade at the U.S. Embassy. No fatalities.

March 18, 2008. Sana’a, Yemen. Members of the al-Qaida-linked Islamic Jihad of Yemen fire a mortar at the U.S. Embassy. The shot misses the embassy, but hits nearby school killing two.

July 9, 2008. Istanbul, Turkey. Four armed terrorists attack the U.S. Consulate. Six people are killed.

September 17, 2008. Sana’a, Yemen. Terrorists dressed as military officials attack the U.S. Embassy with an arsenal of weapons including RPGs and detonate two car bombs. Sixteen people are killed, including an American student and her husband (they had been married for three weeks when the attack occurred). This is the second attack on this embassy in seven months.

Why didn't the "liberal" media make those stories big? Why didn't Fox news make them big? Nobody made them big and the Benghazi story is no different, except it was used a tool to attack the president during his attempt to become re-elected.

Please just let this idiocy die...

[TheSilentAssassin]

To be clear, there were 54 attacks on diplomatic targets in Bush's presidency resulting in 13 deaths.

Nobody must have told you the significance of Benghazi is because of the coverup, not the actual attack. How many of those attacks in your list there involved a coverup by the bush administration? I'm going to guess 0.

[licence_to_kill]

lol @ gop still trying to make benghazi happen

it's not gonna happen

[Blake360]

I think it already did happen, right when oblamer blamed it on a muslim video on youtube in order to cover up the fact that they knew it was a terrorist attack and didn't send in help because they're chicken-**** libtards.
