CNN says they were hearing from their sources that the Benghazi attack was a pre-planned terrorist attack right after it happened. But then the Obama administration started using these talking points about a mob getting out of control, and CNN says their sources couldn’t corroborate that. The fact that the Obama administration left out of the talking points what they already knew, that it was a pre-planned terrorist attack by an Al-Qaeda linked terrorist group can only mean, according to one former intelligence official, that the administration was trying to cover something up.

Is this the same CNN we've all grown to known and not watch?

So CNN it wasn't a Rogue Girl Scout Troup like the obama puppets reported?

It was a total and blatant cover-up by the obama administration. What a corrupt and shameful administration. Someone should be punished for refusing security to the American Embassy in Libya due to the deaths of four American citizens and probably the complete destruction of the embassy!

This is really great!

I’m talking about the stirring and powerful video, “Voices Without a Vote.”

Produced in San Diego County by local college students, and local high schoolers.....can you believe it?....in California!

This 3-minute, professional-quality video is perfect to share across the nation with family, friends and everyone in between!

Have sound on and view on “full screen”...well worth your time!

PLEASE SEND IT FAR AND WIDE!

Reporters should be naturally curious and suspicious of others.

- Outbreak of fighting just happens on 9-11 at random?

- Rioters manage to kill a US ambassador out of sheer luck?

- No Marines on guard?

- Now we hear there were advanced warnings?

A blind man could tell that something is up! I have smelled a rat from Day One and I expect a response from my government.

Slowly, slowly a few of the media are waking up.

Now how about Congress?

And more importantly, how about the American voter?

Obama is no Alexander nor even a Schwarzkopf. He's barely even a Beetle Bailey.

The plans to exploit the Mo-Ham video for the 911 celebrations had already been laid and Obama's strategy was to keep telling the story of innate evils inherent in a country where free speech is protected while the embassies burned.

Essentially it was the same strategy planned for fast and furious where Obama would have apologized to the Mexicans for the actions of avaricious American gun sellers who went out of control under and outdated notion of the citizen's "right to bear arms."

Obama will be remembered in history as America's Idi Amin.

But that is not to say that Obama is entirely stupid. He simply is no general. He has no imagination and, with a corresponding lack of intellectual resource, he cannot "see" the battlefield. He cannot alter strategy under fire. He's still telling the video story the day after Hillary and others have admitted it was a planned attack. He's like a mule, a donkey, a jackass.

Looks like CNN figured out that being MSNBC-lite and kissing Barry's ass are not the way to get ratings. Random acts of journalism are always welcome.

Even the 24-hour narrative is protection. What kind of intelligence gathering is a day late and a dollar short--that is old news not intelligence? The Obama administration deliberately avoided Intelligence briefing in order to sacrifice the ambassador with "plausible deniability". They probably had to drag the turd-in-chief to receive the ambassador's body not that he hid his animosity.

Me, too. I'm sure that's what they are after....to get their ratings out of the tank.

Come to think of it, since they are so late with the story it's probably because they can't ignore it any more because Obama's lies are becoming well known about.

I wonder if any of these counter-reports will impact the electorate. The Univision thing has potential, since they are the big network for Latinos and might shave a point off their support.

That's what I was thinking, but Obama has avoided getting any of the blame directed at him. Of course, I still blame him because it's pretty obvious he knew, so maybe hispanics will be the same way.

We have to get Romney elected. Then the prosecutions can begin.

As it stands now, nothing will happen or change as long as Obama is President. The Obama leg humpers in the MSM will cover his rear and nothing will happen or change.

God help us all if Obama is re-elected.

ali3nation

For sure we are gonna be in deep if he gets reelected but if Romney prevails, and I really do think he will, he is going to be in for a tough haul. There will likely be all sorts of Union strikes, just look at what is happening ( they deserve it ) to American Airlines. You don't think the rows of seats on three different 757s came loose coincidentally do you, the pilots and the service unions are not happy. Strikes, urban unrest ( read black ghetto riots when the food stamps lean out ) and all sorts of political sabotage. The only way the new administration could possibly mitigate that would be to put the prior resident of the White House under intense scrutiny and keep them on the defensive and perhaps limit the damage they will try to do. If Obama loses, Hillary may get cross eyed looking at 2016. And in any case President Romney and the miserable scourge we call "Congress" will have to face reality and back us off the unavoidable fiscal abyss. Keep watching Spain and Greece for the preview.

"Benghazi Was Obama's 3 a.m. Call"

"The hour is 5 p.m., Sept. 11, Washington time, and the scene is an Oval Office meeting among President Obama, the secretary of defense, the national security adviser and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi has been under assault for roughly 90 minutes...

...There was no serious consideration at that hour of intervention with military force, officials said. Doing so without Libya's permission could represent a violation of sovereignty and inflame the situation, they said."

I guess they didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

Holy crap. At first I thought you were setting up a hypothetical 3 a.m. call...until I read the article.

Obama is a threat to our national security, our freedoms, our sovereignty, our way of life, and probably anything you can think of that is destructive. He puts himself first in every single situation. His ideology over our Constitution, his reputation over the truth about security, his want for illegal votes over our sovereignty and laws, his want for non-existent alternative energy over our ability to survive on a cheap gallon of gas, and on and on and on.

He is the worst President ever. I think he's President of Venezuala, because he sure isn't our American President. Hate is too soft of a word for how I feel about him. Nice guy my a$$!

Is CNN still on the air?

I heard on MSNBC that OBAME fired all of them for calling him a DUFUS last year and not following his new ideas about what to put on the air.

Something about a GRAND BARGAIN and our credit went to FFF+, and OBUMMER took a nap and missed THE call from SPEAKER Beohner while Bebi was waiting in the basement because O-BLAME-O was blaming BUSH for everything.

Gee, that Mad Cow boy sure is smart and keeps me informed with what I need to know

when I go to vote for that cool PREZI that killed OSAMA with his bare hands while taking on those nasty Republicans who hate the poor.

Oh, I heard the world loves us TOO from Chrissy Matthews,

It's all well and good that they are finally telling this story. CNN is acting like this is some sort of "breaking news". They said "the day after the attack their sources said it was a pre-planned attack." Well welcome to Planet Earth. We already knew that and they are acting like they are breaking a story. The thing that gets me is Why do they let the administration officials off the hook when they are on their show. Why do they not press the issue and call them out on this crap. It is a scandal. The President should be impeached for not protecting our official and 3 other Americans and I will never trust this Administration on anything they say EVER!!!!!!!!! They can all go to hell as far as I am concerned and I am sure the families of the fallen feel the same way and any real American feels this way, too. God Bless the United States of America and our Military because our Administration has left them high and dry.

Probably a mix of not wanting to make him look bad and they also don't want to become one of the media outlets that get ignored by the WH....like Fox. You will rarely see anyone from the WH go there, and Obama would rather get into a pit full of rattle snakes.

You are so right. Obama knows he will be asked tough questions on Fox so he avoids them for obvious reasons. I mean, he would not be "eye candy" on Fox. But, lately Fox has been very disappointing. They have been letting Obama get away with crap and not pushing and investigating like they should.

Obama is obviously covering up this foreign policy fiasco disaster, for not just political diplomatic purposes, but for his more insidious odious pro-arab islamic muslim / anti-Israeli agenda and goal.

To this end, the govt, ie; Obama, thus his cronies, henchmen, and stooges- ie; Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, etc, all march to Obama's orders of projecting his pro-islamic muslim / anti-Israeli biased talking points, to ensure and reinforce in the media, his political narrative.

As for Susan Rice and her lies, she says her lies openly and without hesitation, because she is a 100% Obama stooge- an Obama racist bigoted anti-semitic parrot apostle who walks, talks, acts, and thinks Obamaology, 24/7-365. That's the what and why of Ms. Susan Rice, who is in every sense and very essence of the meaning of the words henchman, crony, and stooge.

To CNN, I give credit for at least they have tried taken on their role as actual media journalists like they are supposed to- to be objective, to report the truth, and not biased for whatever political reason, in covering this story of political cover-up and corruption by Obama.. as we have seen in past few weeks from the rest of the MSM- ie; complicit pravda propagandist puppets for this anti-semitic, anti-Israeli rogue regime.

I thought this event would have legs from the get go. Embassy attacked and tourched on 9/11 four Americans murdered and the zer0 in charge blames youtube.

He must have a blame book that he can turn to the right page for any situation. Most refer to page 1 ITS BUSH'S FAULT, but no doubt it is a very thick book.

And will the mainstream media do anything about it? I doubt it. Even with dead Americans, we can still see how corrupt the mainstream media is. Americans deserve better than this. Hope this convinces more people that we need to make a real change on November 6 and throw Obama out of office.

Not to hijack the thread but Nonie Darwish is speaking with Alan Carumba about the current ME. The 2nd one is particularly interesting - she sounds very frightened of what she sees and hears. (She was raised in the ME but is a Christian) http://www.wnd.com/2012/10/truth-is-no-1-enemy-of-islam/

Nothing makes me madder than to hear our founding history excised and adulterated! The lie of Jefferson and their book really burns my biscuits! I've purchased quite a few history books and I suspect they will be the most valuable possession my son will inherit.

Brigette Gabriel wrote of them trying to establish a "first presence" in our country by way of the Iroquois. I'd say their bima logo is evidence of that. Yes. Pitchforks.
