General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: What ABOUT that anti-Muslim video that supposedly triggered the murders in Benghazi? [View all]That's why he jumped onto national TV with an immediate condemnation of President Obama, two *whole* minutes after SoS Clinton first spoke about the attack to the American public.
Almost as if he had been prepared in advance.
So yes, I believe he has blood on his hands. He certainly has enough money stashed all over the world to pay for both the video and the Benghazi operation.
He also had tremendous support from other equally wealthy crackpots, as we heard in the 47% recording, one of whom actually suggested a hostage type occurrence and asked if Mitt would take advantage of that situation if it presented itself. Mitt said of course he would.
Can you imagine what the RWers would be saying about President Obama if he had said those words? I see no reason to come to any different conclusion, given the same set of facts, given the girlfriend situation with the CIA director, and given her relationship with Rove and the right wing.
P.S. The video was always meant to stir up trouble, cause unrest, probably in Libya as well as other places. That it didn't in Libya was a surprise at the time, and made it obvious that the attack was a professional one. More military than your normal terrorist attack, really. Better weapons and better executed, speaking to a very well trained strike force. And a very well informed strike force. This is the most obvious part to me.
But in the end the protests and lack thereof created confusion at first that the RW is using to claim that the Admin is covering something up. They'll use anything they can to keep people from remembering what Romney said.
