"The initial talking points ran six paragraphs long and said the crowd was a mix of individuals, but 'that being said, we do know that Islamic extremists with ties to al-Qaida participated in the attack.' The talking points went on to recount attacks against other countries’ diplomatic missions in Benghazi and raised the prospect that the U.S. facilities were 'previously surveilled' in anticipation of the attack. By the time the talking points were approved a day later, they had been reduced to three paragraphs and any hint of terrorists or planning had been scrubbed. The final version said the attack was the culmination of 'demonstrations' that were 'spontaneously inspired' by protests at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo earlier Sept. 11, though it did acknowledge 'indications that extremists participated in the violent demonstrations'...A page-by-page examination of administration emails documenting the editing of the talking points shows a final product that got the facts wrong, but dovetailed with President Obama’s campaign-mode narrative that a mob angry over an American video committed the attack."
Do you realize that not a single survivor has testified before Congress, yet? This scandal isn't over. I still don't understand why the peeps don't testify before the honchos in any scandal including the IRS. Is it so the honchos can be exposed as liars?
The spontaneous attack assessment was in the initial CIA talking points.
Susan Rice in her Sunday appearances referenced that it was a mixed crowd, just as it said in the initial CIA talking points.
Benghazi blew over like a gentle breeze. Same with the other wannabe scandals. It has to one of two things, and that's all it can be:
1. Obama is just so much smarter and more capable than the bozos in the GOP house that they're hopelessly outmatched and can never match wits with him. He'll always get away from their clumsy attempts to snare him because they're totally outclassed. He's an all-powerful political magician.
2. The scandals were political grandstanding and all the allegations that Issa and other blowhards kept blathering about were simply pipe dreams. After being beaten badly in two elections, the GOP wanted a pound of flesh. But their knives were made of hot air.
Benghazi is the topic of this thread. If you would like to discuss another attack in particular then start a thread about it. Your deflection is noted yet again. That is all you do anymore. I guess that is all you can do when your a supporter of Obama nowadays though.
There will be no context allowed in this thread. Clearly, we cannot allow comparisons with other attacks to establish a baseline.

The CIA is the entity that linked the attack in Benghazi to the video.
