US "Switched Sides" in the War on Terror?

Pretty inflammatory stuff.

I will say that the info in the story / report makes way more sense that the narrative about a movie that nobody saw.

You do realize that Congressional Republicans were four-square behind this policy, as they are for a similar policy in Syria, eh? I'd call it the McCain Doctrine.

That said, this right-wing sponsored effort discredited itself with the following statement:

Some of the group's claims strain credibility, including the assertion that the Obama administration's early effort to blame the Benghazi attack on a protest against a crude anti-Muslim YouTube video 'appears to have been well-coordinated with U.S.Muslim Brotherhood organizations as well as Islamic state members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).'

This is nothing other than an effort to keep the fizzled Benghazi investigation in the news after Issa's dismal failures in discovering anything untoward.

You do realize that, at that time, Hillary and Obama ran foreign policy, not John McCain.

You do realize that "the Obama administration's early effort to blame the Benghazi attack on a protest against a crude anti-Muslim YouTube video" was way-out-deep-in-left-field-strange, and that repeating it and clinging to it for weeks after the attack invites speculation as to why the administration acted in such a peculiar manner.

You do realize that the administration has yet to advance a single cogent explanation as the why they clung to the BS video story.

BS. Both the State Department internal review and the bipartisan committee report, along with recent testimony by the CIA Deputy, all tell the same story. This report's only purpose is to try to keep the Benghazi witch-hunt alive. It seems to have succeeded with you.

Having worked overseas on projects for DoD, State and several intelligence agencies (and my son still does), I think the bigger news item would have been that there were, in fact, clear lines of communication (and no turf battles) between State, the CIA and DoD.

I used to think you were pretty bright for a doctrinaire conservative, Whell. You're sliding pretty quickly down the slippery slope of Baggerdom lately though.

1. BS back at you since your broad - brush response failed to address my point. Obama and company behaved strangely after the incident without question. Still have no idea why.

2. LOL to your "baggerdom" comment.

The only strange behavior they've exhibited is ignoring all the foaming, conspiracy theorist 'Baggers.

What I do realize whell is that you have too much spare time om your hands and you will scramble about seeking anything critical of Obama regardless of the source. Anything sponsored by Scaife is immediately suspect given his record.

The "War on Terror" has been a bullshit lie since the first time the words "War on Terra" came spewing like chunks out of the shrub's festering piehole.

Stuff your "inflammatory stuff", whell...it's new stinking bullshit on top of old stinking bullshit.
