Breaking news: Benghazi might not have about movie

[Sangersteve]

The terrorists who attacked the U.S. consulate and CIA annex in Benghazi on September 11, 2012 used cell phones, seized from State Department personnel during the attacks, and U.S. spy agencies overheard them contacting more senior terrorist leaders to report on the success of the operation, multiple sources confirmed to Fox News.

The disclosure is important because it adds to the body of evidence establishing that senior U.S. officials in the Obama administration knew early on that Benghazi was a terrorist attack, and not a spontaneous protest over an anti-Islam video that had gone awry, as the administration claimed for several weeks after the attacks.

I blame the Morons that elected Obama.

I guess we can stop discussing this now. Chris Matthews has put this into perspective for all of us.

Hardball, June 10:

My view is get with it, guys. We live in the Third World, we've got a country like Libya that doesn't really have a government. We're relying on the local militia to protect us. It's a late night over a weekend.

The ambassador there, who she really liked personally as a friend, took a risk and went out there, and it was the bad move.

You can't control the universe. The idea that you somehow have to blame it on some systems fault always seems to me like an overreach of confession. I wish somebody out there could just say, on Hillary's behalf, "Dammit, it's the real dangerous world out there. And if we're all going to retreat from there and hide and don't do what Chris Stevens did, the ambassador, retreat back and hide in the bunker of the embassy, you know, in Tripoli or wherever, of course we're never going to have relations with the Third World."

But you got to get out there and take risks and sometimes you get killed. And that's part of the business. And just be tough and talking to people about the real world. And stop playing games with little people like oh, we have to protect everybody out there. We have soldiers killed every hour.

So . . .

Sh** happens.

What difference at this point does it make?

[Sangersteve]

Well Mr. Matthews in a war zone people do get killed, and sometimes innocent people are killed just trying to do their jobs.

That does not excuse the cluster that was Bengahzi, it does not allow our government officials to lie to us.

[BigTex]

But this is just a crystallization of the talking point to get Hillary/Obama off the hook - stuff happens.

When you set up a ratline to run weapons, you take your chances.

Unless you do it at night - that's safe.
