    No, they can't do that. President Obama violated international law, and multiple treaties including the Geneva Conventions. He can't admit to that.

    Agreed. The Obama administration will be held accountable for this outcome, and so will the Democratic Party.

    When you have nothing, attack the source. Keep running ABC's redacted timeline. It's the only crutch you have.

    How about NBC?

    Report: NBC Spiked Story ID'ing Benghazi Whistleblower as Obama/Clinton Voter

    http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journal...ed-Obama-Voter

    Victoria Toensing, attorney for Benghazi whistleblower Gregory Hicks, says Hicks is a Democrat who voted for Hillary Clinton during the 2008 primaries, and President Obama twice for President. Toensing also said that NBC News "spiked" the story this week, prior to Hicks' dramatic testimony before Congress.

    Toensing appeared on WMAL-FM in Washington DC Saturday with host Steve Malzberg.

    "He voted for Hillary in the primary and Obama twice. NBC spiked the story where I told it before the hearings...

    ...It’s just amazing what the press is still trying to do to cover this up. So they try to make this partisan because of the lawyer. Well I’m not the messenger, he’s the messenger! The modus operandi is to find anything they can do to just attack.”

    Even after all that, the State Dept under Hillary Clinton drew DOWN security at the Consulate in Benghazi, refusing to increase it.

    Here's our Secretary of State working hard to keep our diplomatic missions safe in August 2012 about a month before the Consulate in Benghazi was attacked.

    History will not treat Obama well... few jobs, lots of debt, Obama-care and now all these scandals,

    also, I wouldn't be surprised if in the future political cover-ups, intimidation and scandals are referred to as Obamian.

    You posted a right wing rag's spin. I posted the verbatim words from the actual CIA memo.

    Folks can decide for themselves who has nothing.

    Why is it whenever conservatives don't have an argument to make the resort to baseless and unprovable claims about what's gonna be in the future?

    She stilled lied to the mothers of those died boys at their own funerals. That alone is worth never being elected to anything ever again.

    You must have missed this.............

    I made it nice and big, easy to actually read.

    June 11, 2012: The U.K. closes its consulate. At least they prove they are smarter than a fifth grader.

    No, it does not. It just says Rhodes was not showing his approval of deleting the evidence the threats of terrorist attacks at Benghazi. Nulan still had them deleted for fear of reprisals from Congress. It was still scrubbed clean. The video is still a lie. Get that? It does not change the facts. CNN looks stupid on this, and Tapper did not address it on his show today. Try to get a grip, won't you?

    The mother's story has changed over time as she has been hanging out with the RW media folks who are using her. But there was no lie on Sept 14 the intel they had from the CIA said this was a spontaneous event inspired by the demonstrations in Cairo, over the video.

    You posted the White House's redacted talking points. Can you spot the missing CIA paragraph?

    Didn't think so.

    What is your point? How is Hillary Clinton directly responsible for those?

    Nice try, but this is a big, fat fail. You can't blame random terrorist attacks on Hillary any more than you can blame Bush for 9/11.

    LOL the lighting is all wrong. That was stolen from the partying she did in S. America if I recall correctly. It was good to see her loosen up.

    Not at all. I posted the original CIA memo along will all the revisions.

    Even the WS article refers to language in it.

    By the way, that right wing rag you are so found of suggesting isn't worth anything is the actual entity that provided the emails that ABC used.

    "Stephen Hayes at the Weekly Standard first came up with the e-mails, which Karl links in his piece."

    I guess you're looking pretty stupid now, eh?

    Are you kidding me? You are sadly still ignoring the facts that ABC broke last Friday on the report scrubbed clean. You are not going to change history, Obama/Hillary were in denial there was a threat at the compound where he brought Gadafi down, assisting the rebels. Because of that the ambassador and the others were needlessly murdered. You live in denial, it's the only way you can exist.

    ."Mr. Speaker, and Mr. President, and my distinguished colleagues and our guests: I would like to add a personal word with regard to an issue that has been of great concern to all Americans over the past year. I refer, of course, to the investigations of the so-called Watergate affair. As you know, I have provided to the Special Prosecutor voluntarily a great deal of material. I believe that I have provided all the material that he needs to conclude his investigations and to proceed to prosecute the guilty and to clear the innocent.

    I believe the time has come to bring that investigation and the other investigations of this matter to an end. One year of Watergate is enough.

    -Nixon, 1974"

    I would like to commend you for trying to defend Obama and his crew during these troubling times. You should be on an episode of Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe.

    Don't know what Dirty Jobs is, but I've seen enough RW propaganda bull(*)(*)(*)(*) barfed up here over and over again that I guess I'd qualify.

    The leaker lied and the media that rolled with it was negligent. They all now have egg on their faces, and those defending them look ridiculous at this point.

    Honestly, Iriemon, a comment like this is beneath you. What part of the whole sad, sick Benghazi scandal is mere "propaganda"? This time Obama and his whole regime have gotten "their teats caught in the wringer", and shown up to be bald-faced, blatant, scheming LIARS who have no real regard whatever for our people who were murdered there. Or, my fact-based friend, can you share with us the narrative of what really happened -- a reality which materially contradicts all that we have unearthed about Benghazi to date...? Will your facts have a different origin from those of people who were there? For what it's worth, I've asked my House Representative to DEMAND the appointment of a Special Prosecutor....

    Parenthetically, I'd still like to know where you would open a government-insured savings account CD for twelve months earning more than 1.15%....

    The CIA memo you claim was "scrubbed clean" in fact explicitly stated that Benganzi was a spontaneous event inspired by the demonstrations in Cairo that evolved into an assault. You know, the exact same thing that the RW claims Rice and others in the Obama administration lied about as part of their nutty "cover up" theory.

    But shoot, don't take my word for it. From the ABC link you referred to, here is the first bullet point from the original language in the CIA memo:

    We believe based on currently available information that the attacks in Benghazi were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and evolved into a direct assault against the U.S. Consulate and subsequently its annex.

    http://abcnews.go.com/images/Politics/Benghazi Talking Points Timeline.pdf

    - - - Updated - - -

    Please identify specifically what Obama said that you claim was a lie.

    I suspect that will help illustrate the RW propaganda I referred to.

    Why do you keep asking me about CDs? Is there some point you're trying to make?
