Reason: Three Reasons Why Obama Lied About The Benghazi Terrorist Attack
— Ace

Let me just emphasize Reason One with my own statement of it:

Obama wishes to convince people that the attack was entirely unpredictable and flowed from a Black Swan event, the YouTube video. If this was an entirely unforeseeable event, then he can maybe be forgiven for having no greater security in the consulate than door-locks.

On the other hand, if this was a very predictable event -- such as the date being September 11th, right there on the day planner, printed up years ago and regularly scheduled every late summer -- then his bumbling is inexcusable.

It's not so complicated. He can either claim "Unforeseeable events were not foreseen" or he can claim "No one in my administration owns, leases, or has access to, a calender."

He's going with the first one.

Someone all nuance-y 'n' shit would know that the date was chosen for something on the muslim calendar and that this has been a sore spot since the Ottoman's got turned back from Vienna in 1529.

But I'm not smart enough to work for the State Department.

17 Yes, I guess he started his campaign with lies. He started his Presidency with lies. Every time he opens his mouth a lie pukes out on the ground.

So I guess that is the reason. He is a pathological liar and is physically incapable of telling anything but lies.

18 It's par for the course for his whole Presidency: Every thing good that happens is because of him, every thing bad that happens is due to events beyond his control.

It explains each and every response they've had.

23 Yeah but here's the problem, the administration is starting to admit it was a terror attack, and that it is now an FBI investigation, nothing to see here until its over, don't ask any pesky questions media because we are saying jack squat nothing.

And the media is completely cool with that.

Seriously? With the Black Swan as political analogy again?

Posted by: Empire of Jeff at September 26, 2012 12:16 PM (vaKm1)

Which is why he is an idiot.

There is more than enough intelligence data around to know this was preplanned by AQ.

There were statements by the ambassador and people on the ground indicating surveillance and planning was going on.

The nature of the attack, munitions, tactics, attack plan, etc. clearly indicated sophisticated, pre-planning.

Statement from people that were there and evidence left behing and examined by people who do this shit for a living confirms all of this.

Obama is trying to cover his ass for an inept, foolish foreign policy that if examined further would give significant pause to anyone concerned about our future.

So what does he do? The ususual, he lies, obfuscates, dissembles and hides the truth because it is damaging to him. The rest of his liege including Hillary are simply useful idiots.

85 The last thing Obama wants to talk about this election is his foreign affairs. Well, the economy but then foreign affairs. Actually, he doesn't want to talk about his record at all but not foreign affairs thats for sure. He ran the first time on being the opposite of Bush on foreign affairs and painted Bush as a failure. He keeps saying he ended the war in Iraq when it ended under Bush, Obama just got the glory of bringing the troops out (too early I might add). He copied Bush's surge in Afghanistan and then ignored it when it failed. He likes to brag that he has decimated al Qaeda but it was al Qaeda that attacked the embassy in Libya. His foreign policy is a failure and like all his failures he needs someone else to blame it on. In this case a friggin youtube movie. What a gutless coward.

106 >>>"No one in my administration owns, leases, or has access to, a calender."

Even more applicable. If the event was random, then the skipping of all those intelligence briefs was immaterial. Whereas, well, calender, he committed, (What would be if he were an officer charged with safeguarding the nation) criminal dereliction of duty by not even bothering to get a brief in the days leading up to 9/11.

Srsly if I had pulled a stunt like him, and PEOPLE DIED, and US classified material was potentially compromised, I'd be looking at a prison term at Leavenworth.

109 The thing is, people inclined to support Obama only need the flimsiest of excuses in order to believe. Their willing suspension of disbelief is sufficiently strong that any old garbage excuse will relieve them from the burden of critical thinking. That's why Ann Curry was apoplectically incredulous with the Libyan president's claim that the terrorist attack was exactly what we thought it was. She'd "drunk the Kool-Aid," to coin a completely new and never-before-used phrase.

Not sure if this is true, but I understand that protocol allows Romney was free to meet with any leaders who had met with Opey. By not meeting with any other leaders, Opey prevents Romney from any photo ops w world leaders.

Can anyone corroborate this?

I heart Steevy

Before there was Steevy, there was a lady who spoke at a convention. Here are a couple prophetic snippets of what she said on that day

from a speech at the 2008 convention, Sarah Palin

IÂ’ve noticed a pattern with our opponent. Maybe you have,too. WeÂ’ve all heard his dramatic speeches before devoted followers. And there is much to like and admire about our opponent. But listening to him speak, itÂ’s easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform Â– not even in the state senate. This is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word Â“victoryÂ” except when heÂ’s talking about his own campaign. But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed Â… when the roar of the crowd fades away Â… when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot Â– what exactly is our opponentÂ’s plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after heÂ’s done turning back the waters and healing the planet? The answer is to make government bigger Â… take more of your money Â… give you more orders from Washington Â… and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world. America needs more energy Â… our opponent is against producing it. Victory in Iraq is finally in sight Â… he wants to forfeit. Terrorist states are seeking nuclear weapons without delay Â… he wants to meet them without preconditions. Al Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America Â… heÂ’s worried that someone wonÂ’t read them their rights? Government is too big Â… he wants to grow it. Congress spends too much Â… he promises more. Taxes are too high Â… he wants to raise them. His tax increases are the fine print in his economic plan, and let me be specific.The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes Â… raise payroll taxes Â… raise investment income taxes Â… raise the death tax Â… raise business taxes Â… and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars. ..snip ..

and later that same speech Â…

My fellow citizens, the American presidency is not supposed to be a journey of Â“personal discovery.Â” This world of threats and dangers is not just a community, and it doesnÂ’t just need an organizer.

192 Remember the two indigenous students at CSU made the "Fighting Whities" T-shirts in protest, then got a pile of money selling them because all the whities wanted one. Can't make that shit up.
