Not Owning Up On Benghazi

"Nobody understood exactly what was taking place during the course of those first few days," Obama said. 

So. Why then did the administration pin it on a movie shortly after the attacks? Sounds like it was President Obama was being pretty political and is being quite cynical I might add.

I find it incredibly hard to believe they did not suspect Benghazi was a terrorist (regardless of a stupid video) attack early on. It's not like this was an exceptional event seeing it took place several times under both his and the Bush administration. It's illogical for them to have sat around and said, "well, lets wait and see who did it or what triggered it?" I think we damn well know who it is - and they ain't doing the dishes -  as well as given the playing field and the situation the American nation is in with regards to terrorism. Illogical.

They wanted to believe the video was the trigger. before ANY facts were in And it blew up in their faces. Who acted 'stupidly' then? Even as evidence began to flow that it was a coordinated attack and not a spontaneous street uprising they continued hammering the 'it was the video' narrative. Geez, come clean with that and it would have blown over so quickly. Instead the incompetence couple with defiance is giving life to this thing.

 

I can't for the life of me see how getting to the bottom of this, if not for the families, is a bad thing.
