Would explain why the regime trotted out Susan Rice to lie to the country instead of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (who was the natural choice to talk about an attack on our consulate).

Quote:[F]rom 2011 to 2012, Sidney Blumenthal, a longtime friend and confidant who was a senior adviser to Mrs. Clinton during her 2008 presidential campaign, sent her at least 25 memos about Libya, including several about the Benghazi attacks. Mrs. Clinton forwarded most of them to Jake Sullivan, her trusted foreign policy adviser. Mr. Sullivan would then send the memos along to other senior State Department officials, asking for their feedback. There is no evidence those officials were told that the memos were from Mr. Blumenthal. In April 2012, J. Christopher Stevens, the ambassador who died in the Benghazi attacks, was asked by Mr. Sullivan to provide his thoughts on the latest information “from HRC friend.” (Pages 127-128) Brian Fallon, a spokesman for Mrs. Clinton, said that Mr. Blumenthal had not been working for the government in any official capacity at the time and that his emails to Mrs. Clinton had not been solicited. […]

The day after the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks on American outposts in Benghazi that killed Mr. Stevens and three other Americans, Mr. Blumenthal sent Mrs. Clinton a memo with his intelligence about what had occurred. The memo said the attacks were by “demonstrators” who “were inspired by what many devout Libyan viewed as a sacrilegious internet video on the prophet Mohammed originating in America.” Mrs. Clinton forwarded the memo to Mr. Sullivan, saying “More info.”

The next day, Mr. Blumenthal sent Mrs. Clinton a more thorough account of what had occurred. Citing “sensitive sources” in Libya, the memo provided extensive detail about the episode, saying that the siege had been set off by members of Ansar al-Shariah, the Libyan terrorist group. Those militants had ties to Al Qaeda, had planned the attacks for a month and had used a nearby protest as cover for the siege, the memo said. “We should get this around asap” Mrs. Clinton said in an email to Mr. Sullivan. “Will do,” he responded. That information contradicted the Obama administration’s narrative at the time about what had spawned the attacks. Republicans have said the administration misled the country about the attacks because it did not want to undermine the notion that President Obama, who was up for re-election, was winning the war on terrorism.

Eight hours after the attack the DIA sent a memo throughout the entire IC that it was not a spontaneous attack. You don't bring RPGs and Mortars to a Protest.

Lie. You keep using that word.

Quote:During a highly charged presidential campaign, Obama's critics accused the administration of denying the Al-Qaeda role in the attack in order to protect the president's counterterrorism record.

But the report concluded that Rice had based her remarks -- which did indeed prove false -- on an intelligence assessment that was believed correct at the time.

The report also tried to put to rest a persistent rumor that began after the attacks that the CIA had been using the Benghazi base to covertly smuggle Libyan weapons to Syrian rebels.

'The eyewitness testimony and thousands of pages of CIA cables and emails that the committee reviewed provide no support for this allegation,' it said.

In fact, the report said, the CIA agents at the facility were tracking on local groups smuggling weapons, not collecting them themselves.

The report also said that, while some government agencies were slow to respond to its queries, all eventually cooperated with the inquiry and no CIA personnel were intimidated by the administration.

Interesting though that you don't seem to have an issue with it when you're the one doing it, huh?

Lie is the word you use when a lie is told.

And are you calling ERC a liar?

There is no one on the planet that believes a thing Hillary says.

It's all phony. It's all a dog and pony show.

So Tom, since you are on the RSSR accusing ERC of lying can you prove it?

Please show the world that what ERC said in the quote you provided isn't true.


And before you try and say "But...." please note that ERC didn't name names...you did as you called ERC a liar which would be an ad hominem attack under the RSSR AUP unless you had proof . Therefore in the spirit of the RSSR go ahead and prove your claim or admit you can't. If Tom can't admit it then the overzealous moderators need to address the issue like they would if it were a conservative.

Is a lie opposite of the truth? Of course it is. ERC is lying when he says several on this board celebrate when a cop is shot.

That would be a lie.

This.

"There is no one on the planet that believes a thing Hillary says."


Would be hyperbole and an obvious lie. No one on the planet believes a thing. Come on guys.......... check yourselves in to the WWE before it's gone. You are not trying to engage in any type of discussion. You constantly enflame. You make this place worse.

So now Mach adds his name to the list of posters calling ERC a liar.

Any others? And if so, feel free to back it up.

It just said how he lied. Can you show any evidence of any liberal or for that matter ANYONE who cheered on a policeman's death? If so. Show it. Until then how else would you describe what he said?

Do you know for a fact that someone(s) here don't have champaign flowing and fireworks going off when a cop is killed? You're free to believe he's lying. We don't have thought police here yet.

Let me retract that last sentence.
