Good point! Bush is a war criminal. But Obama definitely is not.

Sept. 16:

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice appears on five Sunday talks shows and says the attacks were spontaneous eruptions over the anti-Islam video, saying, "This was not a pre-planned, premeditated attack."

President of Libya's general National Congress Mohammed Magarief contradicts the Obama administration, saying there is "no doubt that this (attack) was pre-planned, predetermined."

Sept. 18:

Obama appears on The Late Show with David Letterman and is asked by the host if the attack was an act of war. "Here's what happened. You had a video that was released by somebody who lives here … a shadowy character who has an extremely offensive video directed at Mohammed and Islam ... so this caused great offense in much of the Muslim world."

Sept. 20:

Carney, when asked about Olsen's testimony, says it is "self-evident" that it was a terrorist attack.

In an interview at Univision Town Hall, Obama is asked whether the attack was the work of terrorists. He says his administration is still investigating the attack and cannot say for certain. "What we do know is that the natural protests that arose because of the outrage over the video were used as an excuse by extremists to see if they can also directly harm U.S. interests," Obama says.

Oct. 10:

Senior State Department officials admit in a background briefing with reporters that prior to the attack in Benghazi there was no protest outside the compound. The briefing contradicts initial White House statements that the attack came during a demonstration against the anti-Islam video that got out of control outside the consulate.

Deeper and deeper they dig. These liars have no shame.

Vice President Joe Biden claimed that the administration wasn't aware of requests for more security in Libya before the Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S. mission in Benghazi during Thursday night's debate, contradicting two State Department officials and the former head of diplomatic security in Libya.

"We weren't told they wanted more security. We did not know they wanted more security there," Biden said.

In fact, two security officials who worked for the State Department in Libya at the time testified Thursday that they repeatedly requested more security and two State Department officials admitted they had denied those requests.

Why don't you quote what was said in the time period prior to this? Doesn't fit your narrative, huh?

The Ambassador went to Benghazi to pull them out of the consulate and back to the embassy - nobody talks about that. There wasn't enough security to defend a major attack (nor is there normally). The consult didn't meet normal "defense" criteria for the structure/grounds. Darryl Issa's witch hunt Republican hearings improperly revealed state secrets, that the "annex" was actually a CIA operation. The Ambassador didn't want more personal security and felt safe in Libya. Libyans helped defend the Ambassador and the compound and were overrun. The Republicans blocked funding for more security.

Geeshus - let it fu.cking be what it is, and not right wing made-up political crap.

I now suspect the motive for this administration's bizarre handling of the four murders is what I originally dismissed. Obama just doesn't give a shiat.

Merely a bump in the road, nothing to talk about here, move along folks. The treatment of one of the victim's mothers, interviewed by Anderson Cooper, speaks volumes about this fake Commander in Chief.

Yea he killed Bin Laden just like the guy holding the winning lotto ticket will hand it in. Such a huge accomplishment!

It gets even more sick.

These people have no shame! Wake up!

Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter is coming under intense criticism from Republicans for saying the "entire reason" the attacks on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, had become a political topic was "because of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan."

Now it's the GOP's fault for cutting funding? LMAO

Guess those two chevy volts at $150K (Government always pays triple) ordered for the embassy in Vienna were more important than security at a consulate.

It was the movie I tell ya!

Sen. Lieberman now calling for a senate investigation.

Administration lying to the mother of Sean Smith.

That's all the GOP's fault as well.

3 more weeks!

The above quote, from USA Today, is a selectively edited lie. Because the very next sentence, which USA Today must have purposely left out, changes the meaning 100%, as it was the president attributing the attack, not to mobs due to the video, but terrorists and extremists:
,
"But what also happened was that extremists and terrorists used this as an excuse to attack a variety of our embassies, including the consulate in Libya."
