1. Benghazi- There is no scandal. The intelligence at first said it might be linked to protests over the anti muslim Youtube video which turned out to be wrong. Obama called it a terrorist attack the day after the attack but Republicans keep forgetting to mention this even though it's on video. “No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for.” — Obama, Rose Garden, Sept. 12 “We want to send a message all around the world — anybody who would do us harm: No act of terror will dim the light of the values that we proudly shine on the rest of the world, and no act of violence will shake the resolve of the United States of America.” — Obama, campaign event in Las Vegas, Sept. 13 “I want people around the world to hear me: To all those who would do us harm, no act of terror will go unpunished. It will not dim the light of the values that we proudly present to the rest of the world. No act of violence shakes the resolve of the United States of America.” — Obama, campaign event in Golden, Colo., Sept. 13 |
Not true. He used the term "act of terror", yes, but he never specified that he was talking about Benghazi. Given the administration's attempt to misdirect people into thinking it was an act of mob violence rather than a coordinated terrorist attack, it's highly unlikely that he was. Look at those dates. He was probably referring to 9/11 as it was near the anniversary. That fits better with the context of what he was saying, anyway. Of course an attack on a consulate somewhere isn't going to make America go all police state, but something like 9/11 could (and did).
Anyway, are you aware of the fact that about an hour ago they just released emails of the talking points being put together? al-Qaeda was in, then it was removed. They were well aware that this wasn't a protest that got out of hand.
