It has now been 15 days since the attack on the Benghazi consular compound, which led to the death of the US Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans. The Obama Administration insists it was “a terrorist attack.”
At least today. Over the past two weeks the administration has kept changing its story every few days, jumping from announcing it to be a “complex attack” and an “act of terror” to later claiming it was just spontaneous, then going back and denouncing it again as terror and blaming al-Qaeda, or maybe someone else.
The shifts have Congress wondering what the truth actually is, and Sen. John Kerry (D – MA) is said to be pushing a letter signed by a number of Congressmen calling for the administration to provide them some actual details of the incident.
But it isn’t clear if the administration actually has any. Each of its story changes has included an admission that it doesn’t have “facts” to back up its claims, and the FBI says that they still haven’t been granted access to Benghazi, let alone the scene of the crime. The Obama Administration’s changes in public comments may not reflect any actual progress in the investigation, as it isn’t clear that there is any.
Assange might have some cables that throw some light on the situation. But the U.S. wants to burn him in an electric chair for fear he knows tooooo much, might reveal more tidbits about U.S. imperial wrongdoing.
George Washington is long dead. So is truth in America!
Obama made sure the violent protesters in the middle east got their wish….the film maker has been arrested. Expect more violent protests any time the Muslims are mad at us, because they will believe their violence and destruction gets results in the US! Thank you, Obama. Behghazi was an obvious attack to anyone with half a brain, as the day after, there was a guard quoted as saying there was nothing happening outside the embassy before the attack started; not even an ant was outside. If they can’t even tell us the truth about something that is out in the open and seen through pictures, video, interviews with guards, and Mr. Stevenson’s diary, how are we supposed to believe anything this administration is telling us. I have lost any shred of trust I had over this. There was only one reason to lie, and that was to cover up wrong doing on the part of the government. Now they are still saying, “Well yes, it was an attack, but it was opportunistic and not planned,” while Leon Panetta said yesterday, ”
“As we determined the details of what took place there and how that attack took place, it became clear that there were terrorists who planned that attack.”
If you catch your husband out with another woman, and he says, “But honey, it was a business meeting,” when it clearly was a date, do you trust him anymore???? Do you sit there quietly as he blames you for pushing him to be out with someone else (it was the video’s fault)? NO you kick his butt to the curb!
>>>…how are we supposed to believe anything this administration is telling us. I have lost any shred of trust I had over this. <<<
Why did you ever have any trust over "this"? The lies were at least as obvious last year when we were destroying Libya. And, the lies were just as obvious before Obama. Was it your partisanship that opened your eyes and bigotry that struggles to keep them closed? As there is no evidence that it was "Muslims" or "terrorists" that did this, perhaps it was just some Libyans that were righteously pissed about their nation being destroyed and their families killed and their stuff ripped off.
"The shifts have Congress wondering what the truth actually is, and Sen. John Kerry (D – MA) is said to be pushing a letter signed by a number of Congressmen calling for the administration to provide them some actual details of the incident."
Hahahahaha…the biggest Obama fanboy and yes man in congress is going to push the administration??? That's funny.
Truth is whatever serves the emperior's interest or strikes his fancy. A pathological liar often has difficulty remembering what lie he told in a certain situation. This is common in government as well as with philanderers..
