Benghazi: What's the Charge Again?

[Heywood]

It says "that the attacks were a result of a riot, not a failure of foreign policy."

Kinda mixed, as far as I can see. An Al Qaida attack would also not be a "failure of foreign policy", since you really can't stop them from ever launching an attack. I probably don't need to mention that a disorganized collection of terror cells that can operate on a shoe-string budget by sending fanatics on suicide attacks is nearly impossible to completely vanquish.

They might have, on the day of the attack, actually believed that the attack was because of a riot. Much of our media reflected this assessment, given the coincidental timing of the attack with worldwide Islamic outrage.

Weak stuff.

Lets assume on the day of the attack, they might have believed it was because of a riot even though they knew on the day of the attack that it was coordinated and involved the use of heavy weapons.

8 days later Rice goes Sunday morning stump told to sell the story this was a spontaneous act of a mob when 1 day after we knew or had very good reason to believe the attack was orchestrated by the a militant group Ansar al-Sharia.

Obama didn't want to look weak on foreign policy at the height of an election, so he sent a minion out to spin a lie. Now if the administration truly did believe....eight days later....that these murders were the result of a spontaneous mob...then the Obama administration may not be guilty of lying....but they would certainly then be guilty of being incompetent boobs. Either way...you shouldn't be shocked stunned or amazed they are being called out for it....and they should.
