White House Ordered To Divulge Man Who Edited The Talking Points
— Ace

Well, they put it as "the name of the man who edited the talking points." I just cut out the middleman.

We'll have to wait for a long, exhaustive investigation to find this out for sure. Should be sometime in 2017.

The Senate Intelligence Committee chairman says Congress has ordered the Obama administration to explain who exactly created its Â“talking pointsÂ” on the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi, Libya, and who omitted the CIAÂ’s early conclusion that terrorists were involved.

Another step on the road.

slightly OT: There is a flipside to all of the wailing, gnashing of teeth, and slashing of wrists that the right was doing after the elections, some thing much more dangerous. That is "Victory Disease". The Japanese suffered from it after Pearl Harbor and, God willing, the Democrats will suffer from it now.

19 It depends on the what the meaning of "created" is. Where the talking points created in six literal days, or did they perhaps evolve? Can talking points even be created, or for that matter, destroyed? We may never know the answers.

20 The article says that DiFi says "Congress asked" not Congress ordered. Which is of course correct, co-equal branches of government and all. I expect that Obama's answer is going to be something like "I won, didn't I?"

Exactly. We already know legal sanctions won't be applied to any wrongdoers in this whole affair, so why should the bad guys fess up? If they ignore the order, the worst they get is a reprimand. Even if it goes to the Supreme Court, what's going to happen? Absolutely nothing. A strongly worded note perhaps, or a stinging summation. That's all. No prison time. No loss of position or removal from office. No justice. Just words.

50 I repeat --(from last thread on this topic) -- Susan Rice has access to ALL the intel & her own briefers. She didn't just get these alleged CIA "talking points," as the MSM is pretending she did. Hillary even confirmed after VP debate that Rice got the same information that ALL senior level officials did.

Rice does not report to State but directly to Obama (and if Vic is here -- I confirmed with former UN spokesman Richard Grenell that Obama made the UN Ambassador a cabinet position reporting directly to him *not* to State).

The only reason it matters is if the Republicans are serious about impeachment. That is, proving that Obama either directly approved them, or at least had to have known about the changes, helps build that case.

OTOH, making the question "Who edited the talking points," conveniently side steps the issues of "Who ordered the stand-down," and why the film maker is in prison.

I'll say it again. It really is time for states to start separating from DC completely.

DC has proven itself over the last ten or so years that it has become non-representative of 50% of the American people. It's time to divide. And I think it could be done relatively peacefully. Maybe.

96 Like all scandals, in order to hang someone for it, you need a public outrage factor that moves the needle. Historically, the press has contributed to this process.

99 O/T but omfg family. So. Mommy and I have been trying to work out going to the mall for Very Important Reasons and haven't been able to work out a time between her busy schedule and my sloth. I called yesterday to confirm we were going last night to be met with an annoyed sounded Mommy who was all "Your father" and I said yeah no let's go tomorrow. I called just now and my father answered and I asked to talk to Mommy and was told "Okay, we're getting ready to go to the hospital." Given my father's recent serious health problems, this was a tad alarming. I asked why and was told they were going to visit a friend who had knee replacement. Saying "we are getting ready to go to the hospital to visit a friend who had knee replacement" doesn't lend itself to making my eye twitch though. Then Mommy gets on the phone says no we aren't going tonight and still sounds annoyed and was all "Your father" and I mentioned that this was going to be a fun holiday and she said "Yes it will." tl;dr I'm afraid of Mommy.

I don't see what the big deal is. Obama's responsible, no matter who actually did it, and Obama didn't give any sort of correction, despite many opportunites, and being asked directly multiple times.

Again, what is anybody after? Does anybody really not know that Obama misled the public on this? Does anybody think it will nullify the election, or that it represents an impeachable offense?

Let's move on to important things, like why the consulate was denied security, and why Obama didn't order the military to go in and help.

Alex, thats the most interesting thing I've read today and I don't even have a chicken choking clue what you're talking about. Seriously.

109 As has been said before, the issue is not who signed off on the talking points after the Benghazi murders but who signed off on denying requested security in Benghanzi.

By the way, a bit of Cliff Clavin trivia.

Pass the buck originates from playing poker when the deal is past between players. Most times it was marked with a knife whose handles were made from antlers hence the term buck. Eventually the marker was changed to mostly a silver dollar thus the nickname for a dollar became a buck.

111 The Congress could order Barack Obama to cut off his dick for all it matters, this administration's figured out that the whole 'separation of powers' and 'checks and balances' thing was fifth-grade bullshit.

Frankly, I'm coming around to the opinion that the idea of popular election (even through two levels of indirection via the states and the electoral college) is now doing more harm than good.

Can someone explain to me why we would not be better off as a parliamentary system with a head of government elected by the House? I'm no longer convinced that sub-rosa coalitions under the rubric of two dominant political parties is preferable to a more open structure with minor parties providing the balance of power.

Posted by: maddogg at November 20, 2012 04:14 PM (OlN4e) Less obscure version - my mom's really really pissed off at my dad because reasons that I'm frankly terrified to find out. We're going to my brother's for Thanksgiving and it appears that my mom plans to continue to be pissed at my dad. So yeah I'm going to be stuck in a car for six hours or so to get there and then stuck with them at my brother's for 3 1/2 days while they make the disapproving faces because he and my sil drink and smoke. Then six hours or so back. Good. Times. I'm contemplating breaking a wrist or something so I can avoid it all.

115 @115 - And let's face it, the last thing the family wants around at Thanksgiving is someone who's voiding at both ends through dinner.

You might point out that some point something permanent is going to happen to one of them and all that pointless bullshit they are wasting their precious time on is going to come back and hurt. And hurt long. And hurt deep. Just a thought. Worth what it cost.

Though knowing Mommy, she would offer to stay home to take care of me and then I could have all the guilt about her not getting to see my brother. Not to mention my dad still isn't well enough to travel by himself. Crappity.

118 Clapper and Donilon should be tried by a Special prosector that will ruin their lives as They screwed Scooter Libby!

119 @120 - well, think of it this way. No one's ever quite topped Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine for parental squabbling.

(Cliff's notes version: after twenty-plus years of marriage and a variety of mistresses and bastards he finally puts matters over the edge when he decides that a fourteen-year-old French princess - who'd been betrothed to their second son Richard for eight years - was next.)

120 So many people say that Jimmy Carter has to be the happiest man on Earth right now, because he's no longer the worst or most incompetent President in U.S. history.

Well, you know what other ex-President must be happy these days? Warren G. Harding. Because rightly or wrongly, his gets referred to as "the most corrupt Administration in U.S. History.

I'm picturing Harding's smiling face on one of those "Miss Me Yet?" billboards.
