Benghazi: What's the Charge Again?

[DeistPaladin]

Backpedal all you like, your assertion was absurd and you know it.

It's not backpeddling. It's calling you out on quote mining.

According to whom? Which international law are you referring to?

According to the crimes we prosecuted Nazis for at Nuremburg. They were:
1. Conspiracy to commit aggression
2. Crimes of aggression
3. Crimes of war
4. Crimes against humanity

You can call it meaningless if you like. I won't.

Such as? Remember for something to be a lie the person must know it is a falsehood at the time. Good luck.

Downing Street Memo.
Yellow Cake from Niger.
Testimony from Gen Clark that the W administration wanted to attack Iraq even before 9/11 and, when 9/11 happened, wanted to find a way to pin it on Saddam.
The continued lies after the links to Al Qaeda were debunked. By the RNC in 2004 and a White House press conference, it was already established that Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11. Bush continued to push the narrative that we had to attack Iraq in response to how we'd been attacked on 9/11. At the very least, that's a lie by implication.

That's quite enough to at least make the allegation. Actually, I'm confident it would be enough to convict at a war crimes trial.

Where did the narrative that that attack in Benghazi was a response to a YouTube video come from?

The fact that there were many such embassy attacks that night, leading some in the intelligence community to think this was another one of them.

they’ll always divert back to attacking Bush; it’s some kind of subconscious fascination with him.

An unconvicted war criminal is fascinating.
