One has it that the video, which was posted on YouTube, inspired spontaneous street protests that got out of hand. This version, based on early intelligence reports.[/size]
Right there: outright lie and reveals anything else that follows and reveals it to be a nuanced SHAM.
There were no intelligence reports that said it was a spontaneous riot.
I defy you to find ANY intelligence reports that say that. Look through the declassified materials. Look to the Libyan papers reports on events. Look to the congressional hearings. It was the state department that edited out the CIA's al-qaeda wording. 14 revisions it took them to wear down Petraeus - who was still hoping to hold down his job after the scandal.
The Libyan president knew it was terrorism - his words - and said so less than 24 hours after the fact. an act of terror.
At the time of the action - libyans had an 86% approval of the united states - due to the assistance in tearing down khadafy. Almost alone of all the places in the middle east - this place did NOT riot. I defy you to find any evidence of widespread protests anywhere in libya prior to the attack.
This report "conveniently" ignores the attacks against the British Embassy, the red cross - and every other western presence over the preceding weeks. I suppose those were "spontaneous riots" too. Funny. I don't find any evidence of that.
What there is evidence of - and we found proof of that in Zawahari's papers, is the islamacists driving westerners out of libya. Funny how the time didn't bother to excerpt any of the papers recovered in Mali, or in Egypt.
The idea that the campaign to drive westerners out of benghazi was anything other than a concerted, coordinated plan is idiotic, second grade thinking.
So sure, if you don't quote any "early intelligence briefings"; if you don't quote the libyan president, if you don't quote the NSA intercepts that said it was an attack on the american embassy; if you don't quote the excerpts between the commanders coordinating the attack, if you don't quote zawahari's papers, or the papers captured in mali - why then sure its a definitive report.
But the rest of us know that this is just another example of the times carrying the water for democrats.
One final bit of scorn:
Do you really think a politician as seasoned as clinton would ever deliver those lines that it was a spontaneous attack?
She knew it there would be an inquest, and that those lines were false. So she was smart enough to go have a loyal redshirt deliver the news.
Its not the criminal unpreparedness.
Its not the fact of the attack.
Its the fact they left these men to die to bolster their election chances.
Its the fact that they blatantly lied to cover it up.
Its the fact that their incompetence and lies materially hurt us - by destroying the CIA safe house, losing the data on surface to air missiles, and rolling up the entire libyan informer network.
How dare you.
