If you don't think a reference to terrorists with ties to al-Qaida was important to mention, so be it. According to Morell's testimony:
"The critically important point is that the analysts considered this a terrorist attack from the very beginning."
If the words 'terrorist attack' don't have special significance our Gov't. officials wouldn't be so careful to avoid them.
There also were reports that Panetta informed Senators of both parties that it was a planned terrorist attack within three days.
I have repeatedly acknowledged that the intelligence community said terrorists were involved from the beginning. Did anyone in the Obama Administration deny that?
However, the intelligence community also claimed that it was inspired by the events in Cairo, was spontaneous, evolved from a protest, involved more than just terrorists; all of which turned out to be wrong.
You miss the point. They lied about the motivation. Had nothing to do with a video.
Maybe it had something to do with Obama and Hillary's gun running operation in Libya. Whaddya think?
Then the CIA has been intentionally lying to everyone. If that is the case why isn't the CIA under intense investigation. Its the CIA that claimed the attack in Benghazi was inspired by (or motivated by) events in Cairo.

I don't know if the phrase 'broken record' is still in use or been replaced by 'skippy cd.' You fit either one.
You can go look at Rice's weekend talk show transcripts. Video, video, video, hateful video, offensive video, video. As an afterthought, 'extremist elements.'
I don't hold Rice too responsible. Ben Rhodes from the WH laid-out the objective for her: Blame the video to distract from any policy failures.
I'll mention again, the video was not the sole motivator for events in Cairo. The video was a tool used by terrorists who had called for protests at the embassy.

Why hold Rice responsible for using the CIA report.
Yes she mentioned the video which had been brought up many times outside the CIA report, so
Why exactly does that matter relative to the election or the deaths in Benghazi since the report was corrected to more accurately reflect what had occurred.
Here were are on the last committee (hopefully) and all you have is "the video".

Rice used the Ben Rhodes talking points, his script. You think she spent all Saturday reviewing the CIA evolving analyses. The analyses had changed from the one Clinton had the first night.
As for what "I" have, it's more the mismanagement in the State Dep't prior to the Benghazi attack rather than the political effort to hide behind the video. None of this will prevent her from being the next prez. What difference at this point does it make.
It appears the FINAL report isn't out yet ... because the Committee can't get the documents they've requested.
Hmmm...
Which documents might that be?
