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…)

The State Department has released its phone transcript with reporters explaining the Benghazi attack.  The transcript was between Officials in the State Dept. and Reporters on a conference call.  We are sharing the call content and inserting points, links and questions from our research.  It is a long read.

Weapons of Misdirection

But first, before we get to the official version of events, let’s just put this Anti-Prophet Muhammed video nonsense to rest.   The State Department embassy in Cairo did not even know about the movie until they were questioned by a Mid East inquiry on September 9th:

@SheriefSfarid We've never heard of this movie, what is it?

— U.S. Embassy Cairo (@USEmbassyCairo) September 9, 2012

The protest in Cairo was organized by Ayman Al Zawahiri in Egypt to demand the release of the Blind Shiek – Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman.

We clearly outlined that with irrefutable evidence HERE. So, knowing that, and knowing there was NO protest outside the consulate, lets check out the official State Department explanation of Benghazi: (more…)

Many people are surprised to see Hillary Clinton doubling down on supporting what has become a Radical Islamist uprising. We’re not. This is to be expected from the woman who joined forces with Samantha Power to push “rebel” support in Libya.

Quite simply, if you cut to the chase it is the Liberal anti-Israel mindset. We outlined it here.  And gave the reason for it HERE

The ideology, which by the way is the same as Jimmy Carter, has no conception of unintended consequences. If the Muslim Brotherhood rise, meh, no biggie, their choice. If Israel is isolated and comes under attack, oh well, their issue. If the Taliban/Salafists and Radical Islamists beat, abuse and punish women, not our issue.

Liberals do not stand for Freedom, they stand for Democracy. They support mob rule; they always have.

(Reuters) – The United States must look past the violence and extremism that has erupted after the “Arab Spring” revolutions and boost support for the region’s young democracies to forge long-term security, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Friday. (more…)

The Clinton’s are clearly on a divergent path than President Obama.   Hillary just Judo’d Obama in this informative article posted in the UK Daily Mail.

In this report Secretary Clinton separates U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice from her State Department, and instead says that Rice was selling the message, and following orders, from the White House, not from the State Department.   President Obama made Susan Rice (UN Ambassador) a cabinet level position – not part of State Dept.

Hillary goes on to say that THEY (State Department) NEVER felt it was a video movie that caused the Benghazi attack:

The State Department’s insistence it never bought the story – expressed by the White House and Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations – that a crude anti-Islam film made in California triggered the attack gives ammunition against Obama both to the Romney campaign and congressional Republicans.

BENGHAZI-GATE:  This Is Going To Get MUCH Worse

Last night Vice-President Biden was asked about denying security to Ambassador Stevens which ultimately led to his death and the death of three other Americans.   We knew last night as soon as Vice President Joe Biden uttered the words: “We were not told, …  We were not informed”, that a strategic Chicagoesque decision had just been made to leave Hillary Clinton outside the wall fending for herself.

Today when Jay Carney held a press conference he defined the “We” as President Obama, Joe Biden and the White House – that’s it.   From those words we know that President Obama had just given strategic instructions to pull up the drawbridge, bolt the door, and leave Hillary alone against all opposition to take the heat.   She is abandoned.  (more…)

New Level of Carney bizzarro….

“The vice president was speaking about himself, the president and the White House. He was not referring to the administration.”

Who exactly is the “administration” if not The President, The Vice-President and The White House

Weapons of Misdirection

Virtually everyone is twisting into pretzel like contortions trying to figure out what caused the apparent confusion, chaos, misinformation and mistakes between the White House and the State Department in the Benghazi attack that led to the death of Libyan Ambassador Stevens, aide Sean Smith, and former SEAL’s Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods.

Jennifer Ruben does a great job recently outlining the machinations HERE.

[…] Moreover, the State Department now confesses there was no protest at all outside the Libyan installation before the attack.

That’s awfully problematic, given that Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice went on five talk shows suggesting in fact that the movie did provoke the attack. Mitt Romney’s top foreign policy adviser, Richard Williamson, told Right Turn, “Last time I checked, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations was part of the U.S. State Department.”    (article)

However, we think possibly we have been able to piece it all together will a little research and dot connecting from the archives.   When you step back you realize the big picture is not what it seems at all.

Benghazi was not an assassination attempt, it was a botched kidnapping. (more…)

This is what is going to bring down the house of lies…. this type of publicity and pressure.

According to CNN’s Fran Townsend, the autopsy on all four victims was done at Andrews Air Force Base and attended by the FBI which is standard procedure. It is unfathomable that the families would not yet have been told what the causes of death were for their loved ones.

Unless, that is, the actual cause of death was too horrific for the administration to admit, accept or allow public. After all, it’s only 3 more Tuesdays to the election.

Remember, this is the same mindset that argued “it depends on what your definition of “is” is.”

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney comes back to the podium.  He’s been in hiding for 15 days while the administration tried to duck questions on Libya, and they coordinated a collective message about how to talk about Benghazi without being caught in the lies they had previously stated.

ABC News’ Jake Tapper grilled White House press secretary Jay Carney today on the administrations response to attacks on US Embassy in Benghazi, “Didn’t President Obama shoot first, and aim later?”
