I never said that, though I do recall the protest that happened during that same time was being tied to the video on youtube.

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.

Who cares? Getting an initial assessment wrong under the fog of war is not a scandal.

Default Benghazi Not Going Away

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.

Take your pick.

However, Obama will NEVER be implicated in either scandal, as he has complicent senators/congressmen and an adoring media to protect him.

Obama could rape a 6 year old boy on the desk of the Oval Office and get away with it. He is a president who is "above the law".
Clearly you do not live in the realm of reality.

You can't even do speculation right.

Most of the mentally deficient subhumans screaming about Benghazi don't even know what country it's located in.

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.
