  1. So that then begs the question of how they managed to discover the video and concoct a story before they could even locate the Commander in Chief (we never did get an explanation of his activities that evening, did we?). I’m the first one to believe this bunch would sell their mothers for political gain, but this is going down a really dark path. Should we be wondering who in the administration would stand to gain from the consulate attack? (Hm. Well, if one were trying to embarrass SecState, having a consulate attacked with diplomats being murdered would be a good way to do it.)

    2. And how did they get Ahmed Abu Khattala to tell other fighters, during the attack, that he was motivated by the video?

      if one were trying to embarrass SecState,

      Publishing a slanderous story attributed only to anonymous sources would be one way to do it.

      2. I’m sure the US will subpoena the people who heard Khattala any day now… Maybe Obama will have them arrested in another 400 days. In the meantime, hear say from anonymous sources don’t hold value. In the meantime, the Modesto Bee has information from Khattala himself:

        “I am in my city, having a normal life and have no troubles,” he told The Associated Press late last year after he was first accused. He denied the allegations and said he didn’t fear being abducted from Libya.

        By Jim’s standard of intelligence that means Khattala didn’t do it. Obama Administration got the wrong guy. Seems like the only people publishing slanderous stories with anonymous sources is the NYT.

  2. Seems like an example of Betteridge’s law of headlines. Why would anyone believe a claim about Hillary Clinton by Edward Klein, backed only by anonymous sources? For some context, check out John Podhoretz’s review of Klein’s Hillary biography, headlined Smear for Profit.

    1. Why would anyone believe a claim about Hillary Clinton by Edward Klein, backed only by anonymous sources?

      Why do you believe the NYT’s anonymous sources?

        2. Except for little things like getting a Pulitzer Prize for lying about mass genocide.

        3. Jim,

          Did you view the video I gave you the link to… all of it…in it’s entirety?

          The video that shows what Obama has caused. The sort sof people he allies with and has unleashed.

          2. I did just watch the YouTube of Paul Ryan that you linked to; is that what you mean? That one just shows Paul Ryan huffing and puffing.

    2. “Why would anyone believe a claim…”

      Well, Jim, that’s part of what happens when you lose all credibility. After that, people don’t believe anything you say, even if you’re telling the truth. That really makes it hard to defend yourself against accusations, even anonymous ones.

      1. Then don’t listen to me, listen to John Podhoretz. Or notice that Klein reports the mortar attack on the CIA annex being underway at 10 pm EDT, when it started over an hour later. Or notice that Klein puts Bill Clinton in his “penthouse apartment in the William J. Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock” that evening, when in fact he was speaking at a campaign rally in Florida.

        By your own logic, no one should believe a word Klein says.

        1. Indeed. They shouldn’t. Has he stooped low enough to lie like “the dog ate my incriminating emails” yet? Then he might have a shred of credibility left, unlike, say, Hilary! or Obama or Lerner or Carney or Koskinen or… you.
