Washington Post’s Kessler with a timeline of Libya, Egypt events: “In any kind of confused overseas event, initial reports are often wrong. But the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, in which four Americans were killed, including the ambassador, is a case study of how an administration can carefully keep the focus as long as possible on one storyline — and then turn on a dime when it is no longer tenable. For political reasons, it certainly was in the White House’s interests to not portray the attack as a terrorist incident, especially one that took place on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Instead the administration kept the focus on what was ultimately a red herring — anger in the Arab world over anti-Muslim video posted on You Tube.”
The Wall Street Journal editorial page also criticizes Obama and the White House for its response to the Libya attacks – whether it was a terrorist attack or not, whether they’re was adequate security or not.

A cover-up on the Libya incident to protect the election. How much does American blood cost?
Come on, MSNBC, you can do better than that.
You should be leading the way in literacy; not writing like a third grader.
To tea baggers it doesn't matter.
Really Beverly?
No witty retort about the administration first saying nothing, then blaming it on some lame film nobody in the middle east saw, browbeating everyone into accepting that lame assertion, and only now coming to the realization that it was a terrorist act - which is something the rest of us knew all along?
Really? Nothing? Not even a "Well maybe if the president would quit personally signing death warrants in the form of drone strikes on innocent muslims just to get one suspected Al Qaeda affiliate (whose only "crime" could be that he is of fighting age and having no other tangible evidence) they would quit trying (and succeeding) in killing Americans"
Nothing but a limp six words about a faction of the republican party?
Really?

Oh pu=lease Ole Robme and lying ryan jumped right in with there two cents and showed just how much they know about foreign policy. Nothing Robme has to say makes sence and it is only true 1% of the time and a lie the other 99%. The irony of that Robme a 99%er. LMAO Those clowns will jump on any wagon to get the focus off their droconian policy and nonsense policy. It was robme rupugs that created the film. But now that he looks like a fool its all Obamas fault. What else do we expect from a party who wants a morman in the white house. Sorry wingers try again. Obama actually aims before he fires, but robme says ill kick everybodys azz in the world. He wants to kill your kids by sending them off to another war as soon as he can. Robme day one, we need to stop Iran so pack up our military and shove off, we will let the middle class pay the bill for years to come they are all victims anyway let use them, and pretend we care. Wake up America it all points to another war by the Clown party on the right. Lets stop the madness and get rid o those teabagger nut jobs and send them packing with Rob-me.

WIN OR LOSE-BE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY THIS ELECTION!
Listened to some of the entralled Obama votes celebrating the 2008 victory, "We gonna get that Obama Money NOW:" Where is going to come from? "From Obama's stash!"
Whether it is deceiving the most ignorant of the electorate or frightening our vulnerable Seniors with mediscare, Democrats never debate the issues: merely deal in deception, fear mongering, and character assassination. To be associated with the party is to hang with the lowest of the low. By thy friends n associates be known.
@daddy,
Dem's do talk about the issues and give details about they are going to do it. Its you're boys Rmoney and Lying who won't give a single detail on anything. As Rmoney said on (I think it was CBS) "Yes the devil is in the details but the angel is in the policy" as a response to being asked about details on any of his plans.
"Deception, fear mongering and character assassination" You must be taking about the Teapublicans. Oh, I get this is what you're boy on the radio and TV are saying now, Its all part of the we are victims of the media an polls crap.
Why? media Biased does exist... Slate (a Liberal leaning media) even admitted and did a study that Lberal media Bias exists. They did it in 2008....Really you didnt know it existed ...that is laughable ...
