Benghazi Talking Points: A Lie Hillary Agreed Upon ................................................................................................................ Investor's Business Daily ^ \| May 10, 2013 \| IBD EDITORIALS Libya: At least a dozen rewrites of the Benghazi talking points were made, with all references to al-Qaida and prior attacks removed at the direction of the secretary of state's office. The astonishing thing about the administration's Benghazi cover-up is that it actually thought it could get away with it. But each lie has been successfully peeled away, from the protest that never happened, to the irrelevant filmmaker who was blamed, to the intelligence community whose talking points were used as a cover for incompetence and malfeasance. Now White House and State Department emails obtained by ABC News, some first published by the Weekly Standard, show that the intelligence community, led by the CIA, told the truth about terrorist involvement in the Benghazi attacks and prior warnings in its original talking points draft. It was the White House and the State Department that lied and had them altered. "Those talking points originated from the intelligence community. They reflect the IC's best assessments of what they thought had happened," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters last Nov. 28. "The White House and the State Department have made clear that the single adjustment that was made to those talking points by either of those two institutions were changing the word 'consulate' to 'diplomatic facility' because 'consulate' was inaccurate." What the talking points reflected, after a dozen heavy edits dictated by the State Department, was a sanitized version designed to protect President Obama's re-election chances and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's prospective candidacy in 2016. They were deliberately altered to eliminate references to terrorism so the whole thing could be blamed on an inflammatory video and no one in the administration could be held responsible.

This is a 3+hour video of the press conference held May 9th by the parents of the special forces lost in the August 6, 2011 Extortion 17 Seal operation. It's a serious indictment of the outrageous Afghanistan policies of the Obama administration and the military hierarchy. As much damage as the Carter administration did to the military in the late '70s, the current administration is doing an order of magnitude worse than that to our military. There are some skips in the video but it is well worth viewing if you have the time this weekend. From CFRebel.
