Just baldfaced lies from here on out, I guess.

How about that? You mean it wasn’t caused by the video after all? Someone should probably inform Sec of State Clinton, who spent an inordinate amount of time addressing the video, which lent credence to the impression that it was the driving force behind the violence in Egypt and Libya.
More and more backpedaling by the Most. Corrupt. Administration. Ever.

My hearing must be going bad…..I could have sworn that Ms. Clinton, Ms. Rice & President Obama repeatedly spoke of and apologized for this pitifully done video and the violence and the protests that the VIDEO instigated for several days…..and even in the death of an American Ambassador & 3 other American soldiers/citizens and while the American Flag was burned in the streets they promised that the ones responsible for the VIDEO would be held accountable…..this President & his administration is, well those thoughts are better left unsaid, but this absurd statement from the State Dept. is an absolute example of a poorly run administration with inadequate defense oversight and adds to the dilemma of 4 more years….we cannot, nor can our interests at home or in the Middle East afford another 4 years of this President….Crazy..

BRAVO!!!! You hit the nail right on the head! When the “three stooges” tried to place the blame on the video it literally made me sick to my stomach. It was plainly obvious the Obama didn’t want to risk losing votes from the anti-war crowd in the election by actually placing the blame ON THE MURDERERS from the very start, and making it clear that the murderers will be caught even if he had to send in troops to start kicking arse and taking down names.
Any president that cow-tows down to a bunch of maniacal murderers is a weak, ineffectual leader who does not deserve to be the President now, let alone for another 4 years.

Obama didn’t want any distractions getting in the way of his campaign visits and interviews. After all, it was just another “bump in the road”. Can you just imagine if Bush did this? MSNBC would have been running this 24/7 and calling for impeachment. And they are trying to say Romney lies? We are seeing one of the best at it work his sheep and his media.

“Who you gonna believe, me or your lyin’ eyes?” used to be satire.

Just imagine if the Bush administration had tried to conceal a terrorist attack from the American people just a few weeks before the election. The media would have already impeached him and would have run front page headlines from now until the election.
However, check out MSNBC, the New York Times or the Washington Post and you will find almost nothing about this amazing story. (Note – the Washington Post did a front page story about the claim that Romney had teased a kid in high school some 45 years ago.)
Comments for: US officials: We didn’t link Libya attack to video
WASHINGTON — The State Department said Tuesday it never concluded that the consulate attack in Libya stemmed from protests over an American-made video ridiculing Islam, raising further questions about why the Obama administration used that explanation for more than a week after assailants killed the U.S. ambassador and… Read More
