The Administration is clearly lying to you and when they lie it is to cover something up..so what is it they’re hiding? Maybe just MASSIVE incompetence but you have been lied to in a coordinated fashion.
Glenn Beck does a great job here describing the timeline of the Obama administration’s lies….complete LIES…of the Libya terrorist attack. (skip ahead to about the 3:45 mark if you’re pressed for time)
This is a massive, massive institutional coverup….This is bigger then Watergate gang.
“Whose idea was it to make up a story about a youtube video and a protest gone bad? Where did you ever get that idea?”
The Heritage Foundation details it even further here.
What did they know and when did they know it?

Has there ever been an explanation of HOW the US gov’t even heard about that video they blamed everything on?
Nan G, the explanation is the film was the reason the Salafist protesters in Cairo were assailing the US Embassy there on Sept 11th. They were egged on by Khaled Abdullah, a hardliner Islamist with a Salafist audience, who aired the excerpts (likely the cartoon stuff…) on Sept 9th, days before Sept 11th. He was supplied the Arab translation of the Innocence of Muslims, along with other Egyptian media, by Morris Saleh.
People seem to forget how the timeline of this POS “film” came about. Bacile/Nakoula put the English version on YouTube after a lackluster response to a premiere on Hollywood Blvd in June. Still zip for response. American’s don’t give a crap. He contacted both Saleh and Terry Jones for distribution. Saleh translated it and used his Egyptian contacts to get the Arabic translation into Egyptian media…. all in time for Sept 11th.
The WH didn’t know about it in advance, unless someone in Egypt decided to let them know it hit the media there. However, they sure knew when the Cairo protesters, mostly the Salafists, cited that as their reason for protests. As did the rest of the world when protests… some peaceful and others violent… erupted in over 40 nations around the world.
Granny, yes Nakoula/Bacile, Basseley (or what ever name he’s picking these days…) is in jail deliberately, and for a good reason. He was convicted of financial fraud against five banks, accomplishing that by check scams using both the Internet and false names. As part of his early release, he was not to use the Internet without approval of his probation officer, and all false names were forbidden. Prior to that, (in the 90s) he was arrested for meth manufacturing. He’s a scum bag felon, broke the terms of his probation, and deserves to be right where he is until they can review his terms. He is being held without bail because, obviously, he cannot be trusted to honor his probation terms.
Not any explanation that I have ever come across Nan G. I also notice that the guy who made the video was prominently and publicly arrested only after the big reward was offered by someone in Pakistan for his murder. And he is still in jail . . . . . I cannot help but wonder if he hasn’t been sent to jail deliberately. I’m not sure I would bet on his ever leaving the jailhouse again other than in a pine box.
Beck’s first clip:
That’s a straightforward statement of position. Here’s the full transcript of the September 12th speech the excerpt was taken from. There’s not one thing in the entire address that is either apologetic, or that asserts that the attack in Benghazi was a direct result of the controversial film.
Glenn Beck, just before the second clip, of Jay Carney:
Really? Does anybody have a link to the letter in question? I’m very curious what was said only 2 days before, and what actionable intelligence Beck seems to see in it.
Beck, before the third clip, of Hillary Clinton:
For Benghazi: No, she doesn’t. She said:
Here’s the full transcript. A lot of things happened besides Benghazi. Because of the video Beck implies is irrelevant, there have been serious protests all across the Middle East. There has been violence at the U.S. embassy in Jakarta. The U.S. embassy in Islamabad was under siege. The Cairo embassy perimeter was breached by protesters. There were protests at the U.S. embassy in Yemen. There have been protests in Iraq. In Sudan. In Bangladesh. All set off by the damn video.
Pointing out all of the spin in one short presentation by Beck could keep anyone busy for a couple of hours. I’ve had more than enough after the first 2 minutes. Suffice it to say that it’s all hogwash, constructed to play into the story that the Obama administration continued to assert that Benghazi was a spontaneous event that grew out of a local protest directly related to the video. They didn’t. They made that initial assessment, and then they subsequently changed their minds after more information came in. Given the reaction to the video across the Muslim world, their initial assumption that it likely played some part in the Benghazi attack seems entirely reasonable. Which is certainly more than I can say for Glenn Beck’s thought processes.
I mentioned before that I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama was in on the attack. Since then, it has been found out that Obama’s wedding ring, that he has worn for many years, has, “There is no god but Allah,” written on it. Why would he want that on his wedding ring. What is on Michelle’s wedding ring?

greg, you accusing anyone of spin or dishonesty is mind blowing, mega-hypocrisy.
Read this and weep.

You know, I watched the debate between Glen Beck and Eliot Spitzer; and Beck said his new TV show was supported by his own money, and not others’—because he didn’t want to have to be beholding to anyone. So I tuned into the Blaze network and found as many commercial ads as anywhere (except for Public Television, FreeSpeech and Link TV). I figure if he’d lie about his sponsorship, he’d lie about anything.
OK, so last night Biden said he never knew the Libyan Ambassador had asked for more security.
People thought Biden was lying.
Nope.
Just disengaged.
Him and his boss.
Neither Biden nor Obama knew that U.S. officials in Libya had asked the State Department for more security before the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, a top White House official told The Cable.
Huh.
Bit out of touch, then.
Maybe they should have done more than READ (maybe, no proof) those summaries of the PDB’s.
Obama actually claimed that, although he only read these summaries of his PDBs, he is among the most sophisticated consumers of intelligence on the planet!
I guess he missed a spot.
So, who goes under the bus on this one?
Hillary?
@Hard Right, #6:
Beck can connect dots on blackboards standing on the opposite sides of a room, and his rapt audience will become totally convinced that some connection outside of Beck’s brain actually exists.
@Greg:
“We’ve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over (due to, because) an awful internet video”
If I said: “He robbed a bank over his lack of money”, I could say, with just as much correctness, “he robbed a bank because of/due to his lack of money.” All three would be correct. Hillary most certainly tried to lay the blame of the attacks on American embassies, Benghazi being a consulate of the American embassy in Libya, on the video.
You’re getting worse at making excuses, not better.
@Liberal1 (Objectivity):
Since you are not known for honesty, perhaps you could link to where Beck said he “supported” by his own money, instead of created/developed/began/built by his own money? Because frankly, Lib1, nothing ever said by you is actually honest.
@Liberal1 (Objectivity):
TheBlaze is a news/blogosphere webpage which is not the same product Beck was talking about which is his , “Real News” channel, but hey since you can’t make a logical connection that a website is not the same as television it’s not my fault you’re stupid.
And so what? Liberal leftist groups use ad space and sponsorships to further fund their news groups after the initial funding and starting of a program has been spent or do you liberal idiots think the same dollar can be spent by the same program twice on different things that need funding? TheBlaze was made long before his TV News Channel, and was using ads to off load operation costs and pay for server upkeep which is not too different from how Moveon.org or ThinkProgress off sets operation costs with webspace ads by partnerships. His News Channel is no different than how Al Gore’s Current TV started with out of pocket finances and seeking a certain TV provider to broadcast the channel with minimal ad space. If you don’t like that then stop looking at HuffPost, Moveon.org, Gawkerartists, Current TV or MSNBC because ALL of them rely on advertisements just as much as Beck’s website.
@Liberal1 (Objectivity): #7
Beck’s network is bought and paid for. He accepts advertising to keep it going. Almost all networks are owned by somebody, or some corporation. Even if they are paid for, they still have everyday expenses. The owner can keep taking the money out of their own account, or they can find other ways to pay the bills. Commercials pay the bills. When I first saw cable TV, I was shocked to see commercials during the shows. Without the commercials, the price would be higher, so I guess I can live with it.
Don’t start a business of your own. You haven’t got the business sense to keep it going.
When you see products in shows or movies, or hear them mentioned, the product owner probably paid for it. As long as it isn’t overdone, I don’t have a problem with it. I grew up when the TV and movie industry had to make up company names.
@Mr. Irons: #12
The Blaze is on the Dish Network on channel 212 for free now. He intends to expand to other sources as time goes on, but Dish is the only one he is on now. I am glad I have Dish, because I wasn’t going to pay to watch him. Beck said that the ones who subscribed to the paid service are the ones who paid for The Blaze network.
Smorgasbord
I say that BECK is credible in his assessment, he doesn’t leave out any minute details,
as oppose to other.

@ilovebeeswarzone: #15
Beck has shown different videos of things ha predicted a few years ago that came true. He hasn’t predicted much that hasn’t come true.
