The interviews with attackers saying they saw the protests in Cairo and decided to attack the consulate. Read up Jim.

Kind of like Obama loking into charges against CIA officers for waterboarding, even though they had letters from the Justice Dept saying that waterboarding was legal?
|
Hey bizzaro world alternate history guy...
1) Obama stated clearly there would be no charges against CIA officers for torture and none have been brought
2) The authors of the letters from DOJ (advising the technique was legal) were found by the DOJ's own internal review board of professional misconduct in their actions.

I will at least give the attackers some credit they don't seem to have lied about the events as opposed to our administration.

I think Spence has reached an all time low. Now he is taking the word of "interviews with attackers" over the words and emails of americans staring imminent death in the face as the savages surrounded the compound. |

No, I'm simply assessing the information available. There doesn't appear to be evidence of advance planning, I've read there was no intel an attack was imminent and it was certainly reported that the video was cited as a motivator. If the Cairo protests didn't trigger the attack, where was the advanced planning?
An attempt to conflate this with reports that violence was occurring just to insult me is pretty pathetic.
If you're going to be an ass at least please make some sense.

My point is crystal clear. You just don't like what it infers. And it's telling how touchy this subject is. BTW after all the years in this forum you call me an ass. You are better than that. |

Considering you inferred I'd take the word of a terrorist over that of dedicated Americans I could have chosen much more appropriate words than ass.
Out of respect for the years in this forum I was trying to be a gentleman.
You still didn't make any sense BTW.

Bronko is making perfect sense. You are jumbling together concepts to try to tell a story that is not working. You are struggling to come to the administrations defense. More and more revelations are coming out that paint a pretty bad story for how this was handled. Its odd you dont see this. This event did not take place in some remote jungle. OUR people were on the ground. You are dismissing their view and you actually note the views of the attacker. You don think thats odd? |

C'mon, he may be a liberal but from what I hear he's a good guy. He can clearly be an ass, but a good guy nonetheless.

He gets his info, and bases his opinions upon, what the terrorists say. Because it never occurred to Spence that a terrorist might lie. |

Funny, a few days ago didn't you claim Obama knew this was a terrorist attack because of a terrorist Facebook post?
