If it could possibly be a real scandal then the President has to be ignorant otherwise he'd be complicit.

According to some people the alphabet agencies are running wild and rogue and doing whatever they want so we can't hold the WH responsible.

The overwhelming majority of Americans are ill-informed on major issues of the day. You can keep your honey-boo boo crowd.

That the Pres is not aware of the details would be no shock. That he is unaware of a direction in the CIA to help the "good guys" in the Syria rebels would be a shock.

And some part of this operation may have been to recover anti-air missiles where we have a long history of trying to keep out of random hands.

Who would be high enough to give the ok to the CIA to defy both Congress and the UN regarding shipping guns to Syria ?

If Obama were truly uninformed about it you'd think he would have done something to clear his office of this. You'd think he'd find out who ok'd it and serve justice.

There may be truth to Obama being a bystander president...and agencies realize they can run amok behind this inept president's back. However, as much as Obama fights any personal responsibility...the buck still stops with the president.

You would think Obama would hunt down who ok'd it and hang them out to dry then wouldn't you ?

Lois Lerner wasn't fired by Obama was she ?
She's at home eating bonbons and collecting a check.

Yes, but Obama had ZERO executive experience before being elected to the highest executive position in the world. It is possible, although unlikely, he knew nothing in advance, found out, got cold feet - covered it up to help his election chances - and is now stuck perpetuating another lie.

I hope this story blows up but I highly doubt it. Every one of the suckers that feel for this crap should be shown for what they are, gullible POS that did everything within their power to demean, deride and attack people who called this whole thing for what it was.
This latest CNN story explains what the CIA may have been doing in Benghazi. It does not alter the circumstances of the attack on the US Mission in Benghazi or the understanding of why that attack occurred. It also doesn't alter the fact that it was the CIA that linked the attack on the mission to the video.

This is a full blown coverup and obstruction of justice. Barry and Hillary will both fry by the time this is over.

They did have access to the broadcasts in Cairo that called for demonstrations at the U.S. embassy in Cairo because of the video. Its the CIA that linked the attack in Benghazi to the demonstrations in Cairo over the video.
