Bizarre: CBS Employee Confesses That Ben Rhodes Email Proves It Was the White House Which Inserted the False Narrative About the Internet Video Into the Benghazi Narrative, and Yet Claims There's Nothing to See Here
— Ace

As I was just saying: The script gets flipped from "You're stupid to accuse Obama of something he could never, ever do" to "You're stupid to make a big deal out of something Obama obviously would always do."

John Dickerson goes into Ben Smith/Dave Weigel mode to Voxsplain to you why something he later concedes is a smoking gun isn't a smoking gun at all.

Here's his conclusion. The part before this excerpt concerned Carney's amazing claim as to why this email wasn't released when Congress subpoenaed all emails on Benghazi -- that this email wasn't about Benghazi.

The White House should not rely on super-literal word games. Although this explanation may be a defense against not releasing Rhodes’ email, it dooms the administration when it comes to the question of who inserted the “video” into the Benghazi conversation. The word video doesn’t show up in any of the emails from the CIA or State Department that were used to prepare Rice. Former CIA Director Michael Morell testified that he doesn’t know where the discussion of the video came from. So if you want to be hyperliteral, it’s obvious that Rice and the White House were the ones who emphasized the video, and that’s the end of that. Condemnation all around.

Note the way he says that so off-handedly, as if this is a trivial thing. "Condemnation all around." Yes, the White House lied, so now we in the press will finally admit it; condemnation all around, and now let's MoveOn.org.

Proof of a hot political dispute has been discovered, and John Dickerson's claim is There is no news here.

Indeed, that's how he begins his piece:

Has the Benghazi “smoking gun” been found? Some White House critics believe that new documents wrestled from the White House by Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group, prove that the Obama administration concocted a cover-up: Political advisers pushed a false story that the murder of four Americans grew out of a protest against an anti-Islamic video in order to hide a policy failure that might hurt the president in an election year. The documents clearly show that the White House pushed the video story, but there’s also proof that the White House believed the story they were pushing.

And that's his argument, that this is No Big Deal because, as George Costanza observed, "It's not a lie if you believe it."

He claims that the White House believed that the Youtube Video really cause the spontaneous highly-coordinated attack. He concedes that belief is false, of course, but that the White House convinced itself of a self-pleasing deception, and Serious You Guys, who doesn't do that?

Condemnation all around.

However, Dickerson de-emphasizes the actual story here in order to offer his Fake but Honestly Believed defense.

The story here is that the White House has been always been culpable for cooking up this Internet Video excuse and foisting this lie on the public.

He is conflating two entirely different falsehoods:

1. That the YouTube Video caused a highly-coordinated attack to "spontaneously evolve." The White House could, possibly, deceive itself into thinking this.

2. That it was other agencies and not the White House which inserted the false narrative about the YouTube into the Talking Points. The White House could not conceivably deceive themselves into thinking this is true, as people generally know the things they themselves did.

But Dickerson deliberately conflates the two, and suggests that because the White House might have stupidly, childishly told itself a fairy-tale about how Benghazi happened, then maybe their deception as to who foisted this fairy-tale on the public can also be excused as an innocent (albeit infantile) self deception.

No.

Just, no.

The White House lied about its role here for eighteen months, always claiming it was other agencies who made these changes, and that the White House only requested the changing of a single word.

They hid emails that would contradict that narrative.

This is now proven.

So does John Dickerson's "They believed it" defense also apply to these lies? When they repeatedly lied to the public about who had inserted the Youtube Video narrative into the talking points, did they believe that?

Dickerson deliberately conflates two false claims: That the Youtube Video was responsible for spontaneous protests that evolved into an attack, and that the White House had nothing to do with inserting this false narrative into the national consequence.

These are two separate misrepresentations -- and the White House could only have plausibly deceived itself into believing one of them.

And, by the way, I doubt that too, and I also would say that, even if it were true in this case, an administration's capacity for believing things which are in its interest to believe but which are also obviously not true is not the sterling defense Dickerson imagines it to be. I happen to think this administration tells itself a lot of stupid lies -- about its competency, about its integrity, about the effects of its policies on America.

The only thing the Obama Administration is more committed to than leftist ideology is its extremely high self-regard. That too should be a major story; or should we just say of it, "Condemnation all around"?

It is not plausible they also deceived themselves into thinking it was the FBI or CIA which inserted the Youtube Video narrative into the talking points when they themselves did it.

That's a straight-up lie, and a conscious, deliberate one. It's not a case of innocent "self-deception" as Dickerson avers.

How could Dickerson confuse two such obviously different matters such that a defense that can only plausibly attach to one is instead used for both?

Well how about this possibility: Maybe Dickerson is also guilty of allowing a little political and career self-interest lead him into some understandable self-deception:

The “smoking gun,” according to Sen. Lindsey Graham and others, is an email from deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes. (Rhodes is the brother to CBS News President David Rhodes; I also work for CBS.)

As Dickerson is assuring me that "self-deception" convincing oneself of a self-interested narrative is very common and completely excusable, I hope he won't be too offended when I suggest that perhaps this very common, completely excusable defect might be affecting him as well.

The administration lied to the public for 18 months, and the media, almost to a man, covered up and amplified their lies for them.

And now that proof of this is obtained, the media can only say: Condemnation all around.

Boys will be boys, you know? Such rascals.

Why the darling little rogues are guilty of little more than a bit of juvenile high-spiritedness.

That is a telling thing. Because people say that sort of thing about their own precious children.

About other people's children's misbehaviors, they take far greater umbrage.

But of their own beloved rapscallions' misadventures, they just shrug and say, "Boys will be boys."

I think the media is pretty much screaming at this point that they consider the Obama Kidz to be Mommy's Little Angels.

Unlike those horrible misbehaved neighbor-kids, the Republicans. The little monsters.

And Now a Guest Commentary CBS News' Chief Political Analyst, Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman:

You can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America!

From a commenter, but he just used a sock so I can't credit him.

Oh, And I'm Sure This Is Just a Coincidence: CBS entirely embargoes major story about emails sent by the brother of the president of CBS News.

Oh, and, by the way, Mike Morell, who did the preparatory work on all this by rejecting testimony from first-hand witnesses that there was no protest, is now an "analyst" with CBS News.

It's all in the family.

They're rather like a gang, aren't they?

1. What does the 'street' think about the video? Did they ever even see it?

2. There remains an assertion that some of the riots in cities were in part caused by that video. What's the truth of that?  Where's the evidence behind that assertion?

3. When did the video appear, available for world consumption, and how many views did it receive at the time of the Benghazi attack?

13 If you can, watch the Mitt movie on Netflix. The portion that replays the 2nd debate shows just how much this lie made a difference. Romney was rolling and went on the attack about the video and Benghazi, but then the JEF flat out lied. Candy then backed him up. From then on Romney was flummoxed, and compared it to "when you take a test and mess up the first question badly, then are all out of sorts."

Dickerson deliberately conflates two false claims: That the Youtube Video was responsible for spontaneous protests that evolved into an attack, and that the White House had nothing to do with inserting this false narrative into the national consequence.

He suggests that the White House actually believed the former -- but uses that excuse (Fake but Honestly Believed) to also cover up for the lies they told about who perpetrated this fiction on the public.



So    Dickerson is     saying that there is no smoking gun     because   the gun that would be smoking    was actually fired into the barrel of ANOTHER gun that was firing at the same time, and the twin plumes of smoke got so tangled up as a result that there's no way to say what smoke came from which barrel, therefore   no one is to blame for    anything.



This is truly the work of a Common Core mindset.

Especially     considering that the actual people on the ground in and around Libya at the time of the attack were telling Washington WITHIN HOURS of the assault that it was NOT a spontaneous protest and had NOTHING to do with the video.     Dickerson is essentially saying either


A) Obammy and his minions don't listen to their intelligence assets overseas, or


B) Obammy and his minions are fucking liars who think we're too stupid to recognize that they're fucking liars, or


C) Obammy and his minions are    given over to paranoid psychotic delusions and they believed that the intelligence they were receiving from assets overseas was actually coming FROM INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE!!!! like that murderer from that urban legend.

69 Four of our people are dead. Hundreds of more people in Syria and Libya are likely dead because of the real consequences of this faulty operation. Two who countries (Libya and Syria) are literally going down the drain, into utter chaos. And a country where the US spent treasure and a lot of blood is going into chaos. And Egypt is still on the edge of bloody revolution and civil war. And the root cause is that the Obama Regime can't see the truth or tell the truth. Millions of lives at stake. The Media continues to lie. A Presidential election campaign was turned on its head. If the Founding Fathers were still around, they's be shooting by now. What a total clusterfuck.

83 Anyone else remember UN Resolution 1618 outlawing hate speech? To the best of my recollection, that resolution came up for a vote in September 2012 -- and the current Administration was going all in for that stupidity. Susan Rice was UN Ambassador. Lotsa political threads (threats) going on at the same time and I think we have to remember the UN politics as well. Foreign policy failure indeed.

In other words, NOT a riot. And they had 7+ hour intermittent fire fight (w/communications from those Americans fighting) to suss out that it was terrorists not a f'ing riot.

Any fandom with siblings in it invariably    has at least one segment of that fandom devoted to incestuous relationships between those siblings.     The Weasleys were a fecund group, so when they say One Big Happy Weasley Family in fandom circles, they ain't    kidding around.

And now that proof of this is obtained, the media can only say: Condemnation all around. Boys will be boys, you know? Such rascals. Why the darling little rogues are guilty of little more than a bit of juvenile high-spiritedness. That is a telling thing. Because people say that sort of thing about their own precious children. About other people's children's misbehaviors, they take far greater umbrage. But of their own beloved rapscallions' misadventures, they just shrug and say, "Boys will be boys." I think the media is pretty much screaming at this point that they consider the Obama Kidz to be Mommy's Little Angels. Unlike those horrible misbehaved neighbor-kids, the Republicans.

OT - WASHINGTON — The Pentagon plans to destroy more than $1 billion worth of ammunition although some of those bullets and missiles could still be used by troops, according to the Pentagon and congressional sources.

It’s impossible to know what portion of the arsenal slated for destruction — valued at $1.2 billion by the Pentagon — remains viable because the Defense Department’s inventory systems can’t share data effectively, according to a Government Accountability Office report obtained by USA TODAY.

The result: potential waste of unknown value.

This goes beyond incompetence.  The administration was dealing with al queda, which is why the ambassador     was in Benghazi.  They were procuring weapons to    smuggle to other terrorists in Syria.  The administration was breaking the law when they did this, which is why they sentenced our ambassador    and his companions to death, and why  they are hiding the survivors.  They are breaking the law now by covering up the original crime. 

The press     has been and still is knowingly covering it up for the adminstration out of partisanship.

241 If only Dickerson had written this: http://slate.me/1fRol0w The Obama administration’s story has never been straight on the Benghazi attack. Press Secretary Jay Carney once said the White House and State Department had only been involved in changing one word in crafting the first public response about the attack—the infamous Susan Rice talking points. Emails released in May showed that wasn’t the case. This new batch underscores the White House’s involvement in shaping the story. The Obama administration left the impression that everything related to the Benghazi attack had been released to the investigating committees months ago. That is also clearly false. There have been other instances where the White House line on Benghazi has also earned it Pinocchios. On the theory that repeated false statements should initiate more questions, it’s obvious questions should continue to be asked. Also tantalizing is an email exchange in the current batch related to a Fox News story: “U.S. officials knew Libya attack was terrorism within 24 hours, sources confirm.” The article was circulated among dozens of officials, including then–deputy national security adviser and now chief of staff Denis McDonough, but the subsequent email discussions are all redacted. When the Republican National Committee claims that the White House put “politics before transparency,” they are right. So, the top White House national security spokesman, communicating to the public about a national security emergency, made covering for the president’s political fortunes his top priority. Bad. Spin and the instinct to protect at all costs rather than inform are pernicious instincts in this administration and those that came before it. Throughout the Benghazi story there has been a greasy effort to show both that the president is resolute, on the case, and a strong leader and that this wasn’t an act of terrorism that could in any way be used to argue that his policies were to blame. On Wednesday, Carney said that the Rhodes email had not been released because “this document was not about Benghazi.” I suppose it depends on what your definition of the word Benghazi is. The email is not about Benghazi specifically, that’s true, but the email was about preparing Rice for the Sunday talk shows, which came the week after an attack in which four Americans were killed in Benghazi. That was the biggest issue on the table. Protests in Yemen were not close.

260 Tangentially related: it still amazes me how BJ Clinton can go around in respectable company. I personally think that "sexual harassment" can be a very gray area. But a sitting President encouraging the advances of his starry eyed 19 year old college intern to the point of "cigar" acts, etc was truly the act of a lowlife. Picture your 19 year old daughter in a professional internship and being told that the 60+ year President of the company had engaged in such behavior with your daughter. Tell me you wouldn't want to punch his lights out on general principles.

264 Truth is terribly elastic these days, and not just in the media. I work at a community college as an instructor and a financial aid assistant. For many students, the "truth" is whatever is advantageous to them at the time. You'd be surprised how many people do not have a specific number of dependents. They seem a little unsure of how many people they are legally responsible for or whether they are someone else's legal responsibility.

>>Whether the VIDEO guy was Innocent or not in other aspects Does Not make IT OK that He could be arrested to COVER for this administration.

.

.He was not arrested for covering for Obama.  He was arrested because he violated his probation for making that video, lying to the police about making it and using false names in an attempt to cover his tracks.  He was the one who put himself on the radar of the Feds. 

 

This guy is not an innocent man framed by the Obama administration.  He has a very lengthy criminal history.  Look it up.  Bank Fraud, drugs, stolen Social Security Numbers and numerous other convictions.  He just did the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Big no-no, so when things went sideways Obama shrugged his shoulders. 2. They wanted a pretext to release the Blind Sheik. Stevens was SUPPOSED to be kidnapped for the exchange. When former SEALs went in, they pissed off the kidnappers who then took it out on Stevens.

Thus, it was in the Islamists interest that he be silent... Note, the CIA annex was not attacked until some of them had got to the Diplomatic compound, and rescued some of the people there.

They lie about who inserted the video explanation into the narrative.  Why lie?  To cover up that they did it.  Why cover up that they did it?  Because they knew it was wrong.  How did they know it was wrong?  Other agencies told them so it was wrong. Ergo their lie about who inserted the video explanation definitively proves they weren't deceiving themselves, they were actively deceiving us.

303 And the called and called and called State for permission. and State NEVER RESPONDED You need to get that chain of command thing nailed down before going much further along that line. Regular military units don't take orders from State. Those orders have to come from Defense, and have to be made by the President. So you can ask State for permission all you want, but you are asking the wrong people if you are a military unit. The ambassador has some input to that decision, but it's State, Defense and the no one knows where he is President who make the decision. Well, that used to be the way it was before the country was transformed into this new thing we have now.

.Sorry he made himself a fat juicy target by making and releasing that Video in direct violation of his probation.  He agreed not to use the internet unless under court supervision as part of his probation for being released. 

 

Once his probation office saw the story on CBS with this guys face all over the six o'clock news, he had no other option other than to have the cops arrest him for violating his probation.  This guys name and video were all over the news.  He tried to go into hiding and used false names in an attempt to avoid the cops.

But I digress. koff StarWars koff You know, I remember when all the stuff with Monica was first coming out (gah no pun intended gah where's my brain bleach arrrggghh) and getting this sinking feeling in my stomach that Clinton wasn't going to resign and the Democrats weren't going to make him resign and this was all going to end very badly.
Yeah. And you wonder why I'm starting to miss fandom. At least then the ship wars are about hot people screwing and not actual wars with actual humans beings being slaughtered.

361 Once his probation office sawthe storyonCBS with this guys face all over the six o'clock news, he had no other option other than to have the cops arrest him for violating his probation. This guys name and video were all over the news. He tried to go into hiding and used false names in an attempt to avoid the cops. The White House didn't not have to call and say arrest this guy, he did it to himself. Bull-fucking-shit. Maybe, just maybe, he went into hiding because the Administration had just blamed him for murdering 4 Americans. Also- his Probation officers knew where he was, and (if part of his parole meant not posting on the internet) should have been checking his internet usage. Which means they knew (or should have known) for quite a while before the dark-of-night brownshirt arrest that he had violated said parole. No. He was not arrested, whatever technicalities the Administration wants to claim, because he was in violation of his parole. That gave them a convenient excuse. But make no mistake, he was going to be arrested anyway. You no how you don't arrest people because of parole violations? In dark-of-night raids. Usually, you give them a chance to surrender themselves. If that doesn't work, then you do a nice, above-board daylight arrest. Especially when such parole violators are non-violent criminals.

Yeah, we know.   He's  not a great guy.    No   one's saying he is.     What we're saying is that his arrest on "parole violations"   was anything BUT an arrest for "parole violations," and was in fact an orchestrated bit of political propaganda made to make it look like Obammy was    On The Case (tm) and Focused Like a Laser (c)   on   Bringing The Bad Guys to Justice! (R)    in the wake of Benghazi.   THis was not just a guy getting picked up for violating parole, something that happens every g-ddamn day in this country without fanfare.   This was a guy being publicly and    personally   tarred as The Man Who Killed Four People In Benghazi Because He Mocked Islam.


Laws are great things when they're exercised correctly.   They're not so great when the thin veneer of lawfulness is used to mask the lawless actions of a criminal "adminstration" that's desperate for a scapegoat to disguise their own grotesque failures.

This becomes difficult when Obama is the government so. . .Obama's most effective tactic is to organize activists groups who are outside of government to demand that government do something. The public outrage gives him leverage. Benghazi is evidence of an out of control rogue government since Obama had nothing to do with it. It's like Iran-Contra all over again.

And this inane and unnecessary display of concern for the feelings of Muslims depended on thinking about Muslims as a bunch of idiots and criminals. It wasn't respectful at all to promote this caricature of Muslims as people who look at a stupid video and lose their minds, take to the streets, and work themselves up into a murderous rage. The video story could only work as a cover for the truth if it could be leveraged on an offensive stereotype of Muslims. It is the story about the response to the video — far more the video itself — that has "a deeply cynical purpose, to denigrate a great religion"! Why didn't Obama care that he was insulting Muslims in this weird charade about caring for Muslims?

488 [...]Indeed, as a bipartisan report of the Select Committee on Intelligence in the U.S. Senate has noted, in the months before the Benghazi attack, the U.S. Intelligence Community circulated “hundreds” of reports (including one issued just four days before the attack) “warning that militias and terrorist and affiliated groups had the capability and intent to strike U.S. and Western facilities and personnel in Libya.”11 Amidst all this, on September 10, 2012, the Office of the Press Secretary at the White House released a statement summarizing a meeting the President convened earlier that day. The White House described it as an opportunity for the President to confer “with senior Administration officials on our preparedness and security posture” in advance of the anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States.12 The press secretary’s office reported that: Over the past month, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism John Brennan has convened numerous meetings to review security measures in place.13 In light of these evaluations, the press office declared: The President heard from key national security principals on our preparedness and security posture on the eve of the eleventh anniversary of September 11th. . . . he President and the Principals discussed specific measures we are taking in the Homeland to prevent 9/11 related attacks as well as the steps taken to protect U.S. persons and facilities abroad, as well as force protection. The President reiterated that Departments and agencies must do everything possible to protect the American people, both at home and abroad.14 This is a commendable sentiment and describes actions expected of the commander-in-chief. However, majority member believe that this description may have overstated the extent of the White House involvement and the rigor of its posture analysis. In his briefing to the committee, General Dempsey recalled that discussions about the nation’s security posture took place in “a conference call” with the President.15 He recounted that the call first recapped specific “threats to the homeland,” reviewed the situation in “Tunisia, Egypt and Sudan” (but not Libya), and then “addressed, in general, our force posture both in the Gulf and in North Africa.”16 However, General Dempsey and Leon Panetta, then the Secretary of Defense, also testified to the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) in February 2013 that they attended a White House meeting on September 10, 2012. Secretary Panetta described it as a gathering that “looked at what the potential threats were as a result of going into September 11,” while General Dempsey said it was a “routine monthly review of counterterror operations worldwide.”17 Regardless of the specifics, General Dempsey told the committee he had been “aware of” the White House’s posture evaluation touted in the press release, but did not remember “personally” taking part in it. He said the vice chairman or another senior officer from the Joint Staff was involved in his stead.18 As for AFRICOM, when General Ham was asked in a committee briefing “did anyone in DOD, the White House, or national security staff, including Mr. Brennan, review the force posture with you,” he answered “I do not recall any” such conversations.19 It is difficult to reconcile these various descriptions. http://armedservices.house.gov/index.cfm/files/ser ve?File_id=C4E16543-8F99-430C-BEBA- 0045A6433426

498 Posted by: Registered Voter at May 01, 2014 03:45 PM (0DC/m) So then why a dark-of-night raid with pre-informed media presence? Again, what you're attempting to defend is absolute and total bullshit. He wasn't arrested "for violating his probation." He was arrested as a scape-goat for the President. That he happened to be in violation of his probation was a lucky coincidence for the SCOAMT, but they would have arrested him anyway. If it had been mere parole violation, he would not have been arrested to great fanfare in the middle of the night. He would have been arrested quietly like so many other parole violators are every single day. He was arrested to Make An Example of "Those who Blaspheme the Prophet of Islam" (TFG's approximate words). Note to AtC- make sure your desk is comfy. My patience is wearing thin.

505 .Once again, he was arrested for violating his probation. He used the internet knowing he was not allowed to do that unless under direct court supervision.

Posted by: Registered Voter at May 01, 2014 03:45 PM (0DC/m)




And his parole officers should have been monitoring his    internet usage and arrested him when they saw he'd    been using the 'net.   They didn't.    Even after the  whole "inflammatory video" story got out they didn't.  



Parole violators are not arrested in the dead of night amidst a firestorm of flashbulbs   with a towel wrapped aroudn their head   to hide their faces from murderous jihadis   unless those parole violators are serving a  purpose to The Collective.

Right. People who do not intend to inflame MuslimsÂ…

 

 

That echoes Obama, fretting that the film had “a deeply cynical purpose, to denigrate a great religion."

 

That is the purpose of every modern film about Christianity. No one got blowed up over it because, unlike here, no one egged them on.

514 The video guy violating his parole? Actual local news story. Not even newsworthy, really. What I'd really like to know is this: Who found that video on YouTube and proposed it as the excuse? I mean, did they have it handy in case of terrorism, or were they scrambling while our guys were still fighting? I know, we'll never know most of the Beghazi details.

Posted by: Lizzy at May 01, 2014 11:53 AM (8zTpe)

515 Meh. I'm sure one of Obama's reforms after the midterms will be to clear out a lot of space in the prisons for whole new crops of political prisoners.

516 "Non violent Parole Violators in CA are held for hours or maybe days in Gen Pop. They don't have the beds even in the Federal Lockup. They don't do months in solitary confinement."

There is a large enough radical Islamic movement inside the prisons now that putting someone in the general population, who is publicly known to be hostile to Islam, is basically a guaranteed death sentence. The guy would be shivved or simply beaten to death within days by the muzzie felons.

My  own strategy when people clam  up   and won't give up the next person  is to  tell them  I have no choice but to believe they are the responsible party and to proceed from there.   In the case of Benghazi I would provide immunity to the minor players and play hard ball with the more superior players.   That includes making them take the fifth  on everyone of my hundred or more questions.

520 recall Candy Cowley and check the transcript:
Barkmna claimed he called Benghazi teroor -- but not really if you check the transcript.
He talked about terror early on.   

Then as an after thought many paragraphs later added Benghazi.

Duplicitous.

530 Probably been said already but let's not forget that Obama and the White House put a guy in jail to serve as the scapegoat for their own crimes. Just out and out lied to get themselves out of trouble and tried to dump their fuckupnedness on one guy with an inconsequential video. Criminal mind and actions doesn't begin to tell the story. This White House and Executive is evil. And the MFM is complicit in the crimes. Underestimate their intentions at your peril.

532 "Once again, he was arrested for violating his probation. He used the internet knowing he was not allowed to do that unless under direct court supervision."

You're claiming there was an active investigation of him for posting an anonymous video to YouTube prior to being fingered by the WH?  And they were poised to arrest him in the dead of night with camera crews in tow independent of the WH drawing attention to that video?

Bullshit.

Ace, to be fair, isn't that pretty much the exact defense used whenever the Left says Bush lied about WMD in Iraq? That even if the WMD really weren't there Bush didn't lie, because he and lots of intel people believed they were?

535 Demorats when caught red handed outright lie, then in little pieces strung out as long as possible let the truth out. By the time they get near or to the end, they say; It's been so long it no longer matters.  How evil operates successfully now-a-days.  They expect stupid/short memory people will let them get away with anything, even murder of our sons and daughters.  Even God gets/got such abuse.
