Permanent Spin

For nine days, the Obama administration made a case that virtually everyone understood was untrue: that the killing of our ambassador and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya, was a random, spontaneous act of individuals upset about an online video—an unpredictable attack on a well-protected compound that had nothing do to with the eleventh anniversary of 9/11.

These claims were wrong. Every one of them. But the White House pushed them hard.

Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, appeared on five Sunday talk shows on September 16. A “hateful video” triggered a “spontaneous protest .  .  . outside of our consulate in Benghazi” that “spun from there into something much, much more violent,” she said on Face the Nation. “We do not have information at present that leads us to conclude that this was premeditated or preplanned.”

On This Week, Rice said the consulate was well secured. “The security personnel that the State Department thought were required were in place,” she said, adding: “We had substantial presence with our personnel and the consulate in Benghazi. Tragically two of the four Americans who were killed were there providing security. That was their function, and indeed there were many other colleagues who were doing the same with them.”

White House press secretary Jay Carney not only denied that the attacks had anything to do with the anniversary of 9/11 but scolded reporters who, citing the administration’s own pre-9/11 boasts about its security preparations for the anniversary, made the connection. “I think that you’re conveniently conflating two things,” Carney snapped, “which is the anniversary of 9/11 and the incidents that took place, which are under investigation.”

Is is that hard for you to read the news and formulate your own opinion? Why do you always feel the need to cut and paste crap from biased sources pushing an agenda?

Let's change the subject away from Romney not giving a fuck about 47% of the country and talk about an Ambassador and his guards getting killed in Libya! Guess what? It's not going to work because nobody gives a fuck. Even if there was some negligence, it's nothing that is going to convince anyone to vote for Romney who is getting advice from the same neo-cons that led the country to war in Iraq.

The only way the Republicans can win in 2012 is to convince voters that Obama is to blame for Bush's economic mess. They have already convinced you. Now they need to work on the rest of the idiots in the swing states. If they can find enough with your bias against blacks, then maybe they have a chance.
