It a very simple non story that the republicans hoped to turn into a "october surprise" using techniques developed back during the swift boat story. Obviously it didn't have the desired effect but our feeble press both right wing and so called liberal continue to show either their willingness to distort to advance the right wing or to display a unbelievably inept level of journalism that seems to get worse with each day. jkwnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-68013352908255528292012-11-18T08:22:36.091-05:002012-11-18T08:22:36.091-05:00Hey guys may I suggest the best thing is to ignore...Hey guys may I suggest the best thing is to ignore people like jonst as there are too many like him that will just steal your time and energy that I am sure will be appreciated by the reasonable people in your lives. oldguynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-39488119753555889962012-11-18T03:01:11.091-05:002012-11-18T03:01:11.091-05:00"You could try some time with Google explorin..."You could try some time with Google exploring the issue of Islamic terrorism as it actually exists in reality and not in your fevered imagination."<br /><br />No need.

What is so terrible that instead of right from the get go announcing it was Al Qaeda, as if this murky event in Bengazi, Libya was or even now is crystal clear? What was so wrong about expressing some doubt about what actually happened, when there was obviously some doubt? Who was harmed? Your feverishness over this seems absurd. Did you get so bent out of shape when it turned out there were no weapons of mass destruction?<br /><br />AC/MAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-34493148933726573122012-11-17T20:08:00.417-05:002012-11-17T20:08:00.417-05:00From the Washington Post, Sat Nov 17th: "At t...From the Washington Post, Sat Nov 17th: "At the same time, intelligence quickly uncovered links to militant groups, including associates of al-Qaeda."<br /><br /><br />(Reuters) - Former CIA Director David Petraeus told Congress on Friday that he and the spy agency had sought to make clear from the outset that September's deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, involved an al Qaeda affiliate<br /><br />CNN- Former CIA Director David Petraeus testified on Capitol Hill Friday that the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, in September was an act of terrorism committed by al Qaeda-linked militants.<br /><br />Yahoo: Washington - Former CIA Director David Petraeus told Congress on Friday that he and the spy agency had sought to make clear from the outset that September's deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, involved an al Qaeda affiliate, lawmakers said<br /><br />USA Today: WASHINGTON — The CIA told the White House that the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was a terror attack by an al-Qaeda linked group, but the assessment was altered by Obama administration officials, Gen.

Despite this story in today's WaPo, he has been losing his luster with the MSM, who are beginning to treat him like an old crank motivated by envy and bitterness. With Lieberman (just about) gone, his remaining ally in the Senate is Lindsay Graham, who is likely to get wingnuttier and wingnuttier as he tries to protect himself against a primary challenge from his right in two years. mchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-434094884022992292012-11-17T16:46:57.884-05:002012-11-17T16:46:57.884-05:00FYI, smartboy, al Qaeda had precisely zippo to do ...FYI, smartboy, al Qaeda had precisely zippo to do with this attack and no significant connection to the wannabe group that appears to have done the deed, Ansar al Sharia.<br /><br />You could try some time with Google exploring the issue of Islamic terrorism as it actually exists in reality and not in your fevered imagination.gyrfalconnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-18564681745056412882012-11-17T15:49:44.907-05:002012-11-17T15:49:44.907-05:00"Technically not false" is the same as ..."Technically not false" is the same as "credible and truthful"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-79080395757393171202012-11-17T15:23:25.587-05:002012-11-17T15:23:25.587-05:00Poor journalism from The War Criminal Post?

On, of all dates, Sept 11.....but Rice's point was, knowing that, that it might have been not premeditated. Yeah, sure, that's logical. But just for the hell of it guys, lets eliminate the CIA wording...get rid of the AQ language, and replace it with the word "extremist". Because we don't want AQ to suspect that we know it was them. Yeah...that makes sense.<br /><br />Oh, and then by the way, when that clown from South Carolina, Clyburn comes on Tweety's show, and reminds us, that Rice is a 'daughter of South Carolina", as if that has any meaning, and Tweety doubles that worthless bid, by interrupting, and saying "an Afro-American Daughter", all of sudden, Bob, who has made a career out of pointing out how 'we liberals always play the race card' let that go this hand. <br /><br />jonstnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-16028999959814503422012-11-17T14:48:00.619-05:002012-11-17T14:48:00.619-05:00Please reassure me that John McCain is not on Meet...Please reassure me that John McCain is not on Meet the Press this Sunday.
