To be bitching about Benghazi? My Facebook feed is filled with it.

Sadly, too many American citizens are completely ignorant and refuse to research this type of thing for themselves.
First, every administration lies to and misleads the public.
Second, every version of the talking points included the video that supposedly started the attack. What was edited was how they termed the nature of the installation. It was changed from consulate to diplomatic outpost.
Now, truth time. Did you raise the same concerns over the Bush talking points that led to the Iraq war, and the denial that they received warnings of a possible 911 type attack from the Clinton administration?

The video, according to those on the ground in Benghazi as well as the Gov't in Lybia was a complete non-issue. It was an organized terrorist attack on Americans and the state dept. were notified of that fact on day one according to the recent testimonies of the men there. Research it.
Pretty much EVERYONE in Washington believed that Sadaam had WMD's. He had used them in the past on his own people.
As far as Clinton warning Bush about 911 "type" of attacks, maybe there were warnings but obviously the exact attack was a surprise to everyone and there is no way if GW had known about it would he have ignored it.
I'm not saying the video was not part of the talking points, or denying it was not actually the cause of the attacks. I'm saying the talking points were not changed to include the video, they included the video from the beginning. Research it.
As for the rest I'll take all that as a no. Now by all means continue with your partisan hypocrisy. I'm guessing you're also going to say Obama did not call it a terrorist attack the day after the attack either.
