    Well the most substantive report on Benghazi stated the intelligence at the time was very confusing (i.e. not conclusive) due to completely different reports coming in simultaneously but the CIA decided there was enough sources reporting that the attack was due to the video to use that as the official statement. So initially the state department was going with what the intelligence community believed at the time.

    In short Benghazi was one of the those fuckups where there is no one place to put the blame considering all the factors involved. The GOP's attempt to pin it all on Hilary is just sad on multiple levels, considering that it continues the theme of the actual facts and findings being ignored for the sake of creating some kind conservative martyrs (which really devalues the lives actually lost in my mind).

    So what?

    The woman has every bit a sacrifice as Khan and wife. Hiliar stepped in it as much as Trump did, yet the air play is 99% Khan, 1% Patricia Smith. No spin, no fiction.

    If it weren't for the "pro Trump" site, it would be entirely one sided.

    It was on camera.

    Her own emails prove she knew it wasn't the video.

    Oops! Down comes the house of cards.

    Oh well,Denny, if "some" are saying it, that's decisive. What more proof could we need?

    Carrying their "bags" off the plane?

    The guy who was hostage suggests they weren't released until after the cash arrived.

    Even worse is the cash almost certainly immediately funded terrorist operations.

    What you call "debunked" is pathetic spin :)

    Well, it lends some credibility to what Trump says he saw. The brouhaha about him talking about some nonexistent other tape is turning out to be misdirected.

    ok Denny...you want a spy vs spy in this story..I get it...Obama bad..Hillary bad...my take on the news flash is just as valid as your Fox news clips are..look up Trump's airing of the video at his speech...you'll see what they're talking about..but if it makes your evil govt conspiracy theory get watered down a bit...don't say I didn't mention it. You claim the cash almost certainly funded terrorist operations....now that's some pathetic spin right there...you don't know that at all. There's no need to fear our govt Denny...fuck terrorists.
