Spin Cycle: Clinton bristled at Benghazi deception
2014-06-22
I love it when they get into a lie circle. She's throwing Obama under the bus for her own political spin. Heh
By 10 p.m. on Sept. 11, 2012, when Hillary Clinton received a call from President Obama, she was one of the most thoroughly briefed officials in Washington on the unfolding disaster in Benghazi, Libya.

She knew that Ambassador Christopher Stevens and a communications operator were dead, and that the attackers had launched a well-coordinated mortar assault on the CIA annex, which would cost the lives of two more Americans.

She had no doubt that a terrorist attack had been launched against America on the anniversary of 9/11. However, when Hillary picked up the phone and heard Obama's voice, she learned the president had other ideas in mind. With less than two months before Election Day, he was still boasting that he had al Qaeda on the run.

If the truth about Benghazi became known, it would blow that argument out of the water.

"Hillary was stunned when she heard the president talk about the Benghazi attack," one of her top legal advisers said in an interview. "Obama wanted her to say that the attack had been a spontaneous demonstration triggered by an obscure video on the Internet that demeaned the Prophet Mohammed."
*SNORT* How does it feel Baracky, when you get the Clinton stab of "friendship". Of course, this is her, trying to throw Benghazi and her active participation of the coverup off her back.

#10  Politics over the truth/principle; seems to be the Dem SOP regardless of who is spouting it.....

#9  Maybe someone could work up a logo for mutual underbussing and call it Ourobus, ref. Ouroborus.

#7  Imagine the disgust, outrage, calls to step down, and demands for apology, had a male from the State Department uttered the phrase... "what difference does it make." Her rage obviously got yet another a pass.

#6  Circular firing squads can be interesting to watch; particularly when it involves these Progressives.

Why does Hildabeast have so many photos that appear to be "unhinged"? The only thing I can figure is that she is unhinged.

#5  More like Stalin and Trotsky. I expect this to end with an ice ax stuck in someone's skull.

Oh, what a relief! I was so busy trying to understand how being an unprincipled, gutless liar, is better than being just a liar, that I couldn't see any upside at all!

#4  If by 'bristled' they mean the hair on her legs stood up, then I just threw up in my mouth a little.

This story shows the moral bankruptcy of the Dems.

They could forgive Hillary for telling a blatant lie to the American people, but they wouldn't forgive her resigning over this cover up. With this incident, Obama destroyed Hillary's chance to become POTUS, which was the goal all along.

#2  ...that could be a feature, not a bug. The Crips Clintons vs the Bloods Obamas...or is it more like Stalin vs Trotsky?
