I watched it live. At the conclusion of his speech I was 100% certain we had been attacked by terrorists. I find this entire thread amusing. It basically shouts.......I AM STUPID......THEREFORE I WAS MISLEAD.....
I simply cannot argue with that conclusion. No, I am not clairvoyant. No, I did not need a decoder from my box of Cheerios, nor did I misunderstand. I also watched meet the Press with all the condemnations, this would come the closest to a clumsy explanation of events by Susan Rice, but she clearly stated that they were still gathering facts at the time of meet the press which comes close, but where it fails is that there absolutely was zero advantage for the Administration to characterize it one way or another. It would take a certified Idiot to think that the President or SOS has line command over active CIA operations, and as Susan Rice delicately avoided the obvious that we were conducting active CIA operations in Libya.....the small bus crowd used this twisted logic that Presidents and Secretary of States are in line command of active operations....absurd on the face, but then to go one notch lower on the stupid tree, to think by not calling an attack a terrorist attack, that somehow that would gain political advantage.......this is so low on the stupid tree, that to even acknowledge this as a controversy tells far more about the intelligence level of those who buy into this non event. We get attacked every day across the world. There certainly were mistakes made, but those mistakes as reported by review committees were primarily at the hands of Ambassador Stevens....you know the hero who took risks and help bring Mr. K down.....and now in revisionary history, we have this twisted logic that Stevens was this scardy cat wanted to build a fortress of safety, but for the big bad Obama.....and therefore he lost his life........complete and utter nonsense, and all those who argue this issue need to give up their mensa membership.
