So I have been following this investigation for the past several months and I'm curious to know what others think.
We now know the administration lied regarding the reason for the attack (the muslm video tape scandal), and we now know they lied about their efforts on that night. What I am trying to figure out is why? Why would the administration lie about it being a terrorist attack and why would they lie about not having assets avaialbe to help? I've heard the conservative reasons
1. Administration didn't want to have a terrorist attack get picked up by the media when their story has been terror is on the run.
2. Ambassador stevens was working for the CIA to sell arms to Syrian Rebels and Al Queda learned of his location after meeting with a turkish ambassador.
3. Incompetence and dissinterest.
I personally do not believe this administration is so incompetent that they wouldn't send in assets that were ready to go, I believe it had to be for a greater purpose and I believe talking point #2 makes the most sense. We already know the CIA changed the talking points for the infamous sunday press shows so it would stand to reason that if Ambassador Stevens was selling arms to the Syran Rebels and the state department knew it was a CIA operation the stand down order would make sense because the state department wouldn't want their hands on it at any cost, even if it meant people dying.
Just curious what others may think.
