Benghazi - emails expose Obama's "it was the video" lie - swampy - 10-24-2012
New information is now available on CBS (and other sites) showing the CIA and State Department were exchanging emails early on during the Benghazi attack. Within 2 hours the CIA informed State who they felt was responsible for the attack and it wasn't the video. PDFs of the emails are posted.
This information was apparently available at 6:00 PM EST. The list of CCs on the emails is extensive and includes FBI, DNI and others. I can't imagine the WH not getting the same info. If not, then why not?

The GOP is looking pretty pathetic these days.

$tevie, I'm glad to know that you feel it's okay for the president to lie to us on this. A lying President is a big issue to me and especially to the families of those who died and to our troops who must follow his orders.

"Our country is only as strong as the character of our people and the service of those both civilian and military who represent us around the globe. No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done."
Pres. Obama, Sept 12 in the rose garden
swampy,
immediately after attacks such as the one in Benghazi, there are always groups claiming resopnsibiltiy. Sometimes the claims are correct, very often they are not. they have to be investigated.
It would be wildly irresponsible for the administration or the intelligence community to publicly state "so and so terrorist org said blah blah" BEFORE it has been investigated.
You seem to think that every communication between intelligence officers and law enforcement should be shared immediately with the public? That has never been the case and never will be.
Again, as the President so correctly stated during the debate, it is offensive to continue to politicize the killing of an American ambassodor and other public servants.

And we all know that all information was known just hours after 9/11 and that we did the right thing in Iraq by going after those responsible for what happened.
Funny, I don't recall Swampy or any other the righties pressing Bush then (or since) for his response.

Show us that this was an issue for you in 2003 when a lying president and vice president led us into an unnecessary war that cost thousands of lives.
Oh wait: It only matters to you when it's a non-white Democrat that you want to be a liar.

September 12 -- President Barack Obama:
"The United States condemns in the strongest terms this outrageous and shocking attack. ... No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation."
Boy. What a lie!
