Was it really Hillary's fault? She didn't call thestand-down order twenty times! It was Obama or Panetta! Hillary had nothing to do with these people dying! And Susan Rice gave her some bad advice by blaming it on the youtube video. Clinton didb't lie when she told the families of the slaughtered men it was a visdseo, because susand Rice told clinton it was the viedeo!

Date: 2016-08-11 02:49 pm (UTC)The video nonsense was nothing but desperate reaching by conservatives to find any possible reason to criticize the administration in the attack's aftermath. Was the administration wrong when they said it was a video at first? Maybe. Did they know it was wrong and were playing politics because it was so close to an election, or was there legitimately conflicting intelligence info going around because it was still a developing situation? Here's a better question: why do we even care? What does it have to do in the slightest with finding the people responsible for this attack and preventing further ones? Unless someone's goal from the very start is to attack the administration, the entire "video" thing is an irrelevant footnote. And, frankly, it's far more of an insult to the memory of the people whose lives were lost that this attack was immediately seized upon as a weapon with which to attack the administration. No one actually cared about the lives of the men whose graves they were dancing on, so long as it made for an easy way to strike a blow at Clinton and Obama. The conservative crocodile tears as they gleefully danced in the blood are what people should be ashamed of.
People should stop trying to turn an attack on us into a scandal by us - unless of course we're also going to criticize Bush and Reagan and their SECSTATEs for every life lost in consulate and embassy attacks during their administrations - of which there were a hell of a lot more than four.

CLINTON!" is a dumbass conspiracy theorist who has absolutely no grasp of the facts, and that every single investigation, including hyper-partisan supremely-biased American Republican investigations, have concluded that nope, there's no reason to blame Clinton (or Obama) for what happened at Benghazi.
