Benghazi Threads-Merged

[delldude]

It is not uncommon for some writers to set unspoken words in italics to set it apart from other "regular" wording.
 
You have trouble figuring that out?

 

[Glenn Quagmire]

He used quotation marks, not italics.

A good writer would never do that when writing an article about a person.

Of course if his intent was to imply that the statement was made by Obama, then he did accomplish that. If you do a search of that phrase, it is quoted all over the place and interpreted as an Obama statement.

It was not, as he has never made such a statement to be quoted.

In todays era of journalism, what is a good writer?
 
How many 'journalists' today digest the content of spoken words or speeches?

How did this get out?
 

 
Before the Obama administration gave an inaccurate narrative on national television that the Benghazi attacks grew from an anti-American protest, the CIA’s station chief in Libya pointedly told his superiors in Washington that no such demonstration occurred, documents and interviews with current and former intelligence officials show.
 
The attack was “not an escalation of protests,” the station chief wrote to then-Deputy CIA Director Michael J. Morell in an email dated Sept. 15, 2012 — a full day before the White House sent Susan E. Rice to several Sunday talk shows to disseminate talking points claiming that the Benghazi attack began as a protest over an anti-Islam video.

A U.S. businesswoman and paid CIA and FBI informant in Libya who said she was a good friend of Ambassador Christopher Stevens’ told TheBlaze the Obama administration knew that weapons and aid were ending up in the hands of Al Qaeda-affiliated militants in the country before the deadly Benghazi attacks.
The informant, going by the pseudonym “Annie” to protect her identity, said she met with Stevens on numerous occasions during her time in Libya and gathered information for the CIA and FBI on rebel leaders and terrorist organizations operating inside the country.
Annie told TheBlaze TV’s For the Record that there was “a disconnect between senior elected officials [and] Obama” as to the reality on the ground in Libya. The rebels were nothing more than terrorists backed by members of the Muslim Brotherhood; the fact that the administration was “very aggressive in promoting support for the rebels” was perplexing, she said.
In an example of that “disconnect,” the State Department received multiple warnings not to hire the British security firm tasked with protecting the U.S. ambassador in Libya, just as anti-U.S. sentiment within rebel factions became an imminent danger known to Obama administration officials who did little to protect Americans working in the region, TheBlaze has learned.
Emails and documents obtained by conservative government watchdog Judicial Watch show that such warnings about security firm Blue Mountain Group were ignored, even though Libya reeled with chaos following the 2011 death of dictator Moammar Gadhafi.

Judicial Watch finally got a document dump from a FOIA request, and released some of it yesterday.

http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-benghazi-documents-point-white-house-misleading-talking-points/

On September 12th, the White House and others were advised that it was a complex attack, not spontaneous:
 

Responding to a question about whether it was an organized terror attack, Toria said that she couldn’t speak to the identity of the perpetrators but that it was clearly a complex attack.

Toria is Victoria Nuland, State Department spokesperson and Cheney's former deputy security advisor.

The email chain goes on to suggest that it may have been a kidnapping attempt. That's hardly something an angry crowd of video protesters would have planned on doing.

The document dump shows that the spin meisters were more concerned with protecting Obama's image than they were in pursuing justice. It won't hurt Obama's re-election now, but it can't bode well for Clinton, especially if more and more people close to her are exposed as the document dump is analysed. Clearly, Nuland was close to Clinton and knew what was going on from the beginning, and those she emailed saw the need to quickly close ranks...

The new batch of released emails—the one containing the Rhodes note that has launched a thousand Fox News reports—includes an Al Jazeera report filed the night of the attack. It reads:

Witnesses say an armed mob has attacked the US consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi and set fire to the building in what they way was a protest at [sic] a film deemed offensive to Islam's Prophet Muhammad.

Just hours earlier on Tuesday, thousands of Egyptian demonstrators apparently angry over the same film—an amateur film produced by expatriate members of Egypt's Christian minority resident in the US—tore down the Stars and Stripes at the US embassy in Cairo and replaced it with an Islamic flag.

Rep. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) blasted Democrats for expressing “fake outrage” and claiming the investigation into the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi is purely political. He cited some of the “lessons” he learned while serving in the Army to make his point.
 

 
“A couple lessons I learned in the Army were you moved to the sound of gunfire and the most important step in the troop leading procedures is to supervise the execution of you orders,” he said. “When Americans were fighting for their lives in Benghazi, Barack Obama did neither. He sent no quick reaction force and didn’t even stay in the situation room to supervise the execution of his orders. We expect more from the lieutenants in the army than our president gave us that night.”
 
Cotton accused the Obama administration of covering up the president’s “failure of leadership by stonewalling.” However, Congress is determined to uncover the truth, he added.
 
Democrats “express great outrage at politicizing” Benghazi, he continued. However, he suggested their outrage is extremely selective.
 
“When I was leading troops in Iraq in 2006, men and women who were being shot at and blown up by al Qaeda, where was the outrage as they fundraised endlessly off the Iraq war?” he asked.
 
“Where was the outrage as they viciously attacked our commanders?
 
Where was the outrage when they said soldiers were war criminals?
 
Where was the outrage when they said the war was lost?
 
Where was the outrage when they said only high school dropouts join the Army?”
 
The congressman then revealed one more lesson he learned while in the Army:
 
We leave no man behind. And we will not leave these four men behind.”

U.S. moves more forces closer to Libya as unrest grows
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States has increased the number of Marines and aircraft stationed in Sicily who could be called upon to evacuate Americans from the U.S. embassy in Tripoli as unrest in Libya grows, two U.S. officials said on Monday.
About 60 more Marines and another four Osprey aircraft, whose tilt-rotar engines allow it to land like a helicopter but fly like an airplane, were being sent to Naval Air Station Sigonella in Sicily from their base in Spain.

CAIRO — United States commandos have captured the suspected ringleader of the attack on the United States mission in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Pentagon officials said Tuesday.
 
Apprehension of the suspect, Ahmed Abu Khattala, is the major breakthrough in the two-and-a-half-year-old investigation into the attack, which also killed three other Americans. President Obama vowed swift action to bring the perpetrators to justice. But efforts to identity and prosecute the attackers were stymied by the chaos of the event and the broader mayhem in Libya.

John Kerry got him to sign a nondisclosure agreement.
