The right wing is losing its last two marbles over Benghazi
Former Secretary of State Condi Rice went on Fox News Wednesday to discuss the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attacks. Given her background and experience, she actually knows a thing or two about such issues, and it showed in her comments.
“When things are unfolding very very quickly, it’s not always easy to know what’s going on on the ground…,” she told Greta Van Susteren. “There’s a big picture to be examined here but we don’t have all of the pieces and I think it’s easy to try to jump to conclusions about what happened here. It’s probably better to let the relevent (investigative) bodies do their work.”
“The problem is when there is a fog of war like this, there are a lot of competing stories coming in, there’s a lot a competing information coming in, and it takes a little while to know precisely what has happened,” she went on to explain.
Even now, a month later, what Rice refers to as “the fog of war” has yet to lift. It took 10 days after the attack to even get FBI agents on the ground in Benghazi. To this day, there are still indications that the anti-Muslim video and the protests in Egypt played some role in what happened. There are still serious doubts whether the local militia group believed responsible has any ties whatsoever to al Qaida. And there is very good reason to believe that the attack was a crime of opportunity rather than some carefully planned military operation.
All in all, the tumult on the right about this story probably has the lowest content-to-noise ratio of any of the fake outrages fabricated so far by the right-wing media, and yes, I understand that’s saying a lot. Conservatives can’t even articulate what they’re mad about, only that they’re mad and somehow it’s Obama’s fault.
Michael Hirsh, a journalist with extensive overseas and warzone experience, does a good job of putting the fake scandal in context in a piece for National Journal. Take, for example, the newly released e-mails in which the State Department was notified that an Islamist group had claimed credit on Facebook for the Benghazi attacks. (The Facebook posting also called for an attack on the embassy in Tripoli, which never took place).
As Hirsh notes:
“The e-mails in question contained nothing more than “raw” intelligence, uncorroborated and unverified, that often flows in after an event. Intelligence officials typically don’t deliver their assessments until they have “finished” reports based on multiple sources, and corroborated evidence, and Obama officials such as (UN Ambassador Susan) Rice certainly would not have been out in front of the TV cameras citing raw intelligence. And as the government’s most senior officials say, the Benghazi case has taken them a long time to finish. “People forget that a Palestinian group was the first to claim credit for 9/11,” the intelligence official said. “There was no message from the field in those first hectic days that would have eliminated questions or proven who was behind the attack.”
He can believe him, or you can believe what the Sean Hannitys of the world are saying, which goes something like this:

gm, you had best check your history. The Bush administration warned Congress about Fannie & Freddie. Barney Frank & Chris Dodd convinced all that Fannie & Freddie were just fine. At the same time banks were being sued for NOT approving some of those sub-prime mortgages. A sub-prime movement that started on Clinton’s watch. How did that work out?

Mr. Bookman:
I can well understand the fog of confusion that surrounds situations like Benghazi. In the immediate aftermath, it would have been simple for the Obama Administration to say the incident was under investigation and they would not jump to conclusions.
Unfortunately, they did not do that. Gibbs said they had “concrete evidence” (his words, not mine) that a protest over the video went awry and became violent. Susan Rice repeatedly said “in fact” (again, her words, not mine) that there was a protest over the video that turned violent.
In view of the events that have transpired since, I would think any good journalist, as opposed to a party hack with a column, would be asking just what that “concrete evidence” was. Knowing it would at least help put to rest the charge of White House lying. It’s hard to believe that releasing that ‘evidence’ would jeopardize security, since that evidence has been shown to be not credible.
Do you know what evidence the White House had upon which they formed their initial theories concerning the attack? If so, please tell us; I have not yet seen it published. If not, please tell us of your efforts to determine that evidence so that you can inform your readers and better defend the White House actions. Otherwise, you must expect your readers to question your commitment to honest journalism, and treat your columns accordingly.

Romney’s campaign is probably really sorry that there are still ten whole days till election night. Can they hang on? Obama is just so convincing. He can’t be trapped, he never gaffes, and when he’s wrong he humbles himself, admits it, and moves on. Just ask Hillary. His attacks on Romney are politely devastating. Just ask Tad. He’s just a beautiful president.

Tmgotech: keep reading, and you’ll see that it also says that what they reported to the WH could not be verfied for days at least-hardly the kind of thing to go around talking about until you have more facts. I have no doubt anyone with eyes could see this was a well-executed attack. Now whether or not that information could be considered classifed would, in fact, take a few days and some more information to figure out. Again, I’d rather the WH waited than to go around tilting at windmills until someone proved who the dragons actually were. But if Rush calls them dragons, I’m sure you guys will have Sancho Panza saddling up the horse for you.

The chatter about military service is okay, but anybody that works and pays taxes is serving their country, too. The gist of the matter is we have a sitting president I don’t trust with my granddaughters vagina much less as our CIC. Let’s move forward and dump the chump…

In fact, Obama has probably been one of the most disrespectful Presidents in modern times.

Jay, why did the administration blame the attack on a mob incited by a video? You mentioned there are indications that the video could have played some role. What are those indications and how did the administration come to that conclusion vs. other contradictory reports or information? Are these somehow unfair questions to even raise?

bhistory, you need to avoid mixing apples and oranges. The subprime meltdown occurred between 2004 and 2006, when the housing market share of subprime loans suddenly doubled. They didn’t suddenly double in 2004-2006 because of something that happened in the 1990s.
Subprime loans suddenly swelled and burst between 2004 and 2006 because the SEC deregulated the Net Capital Rule that made accountable the top five financial institutions — Merrill-Lynch, Bear-Stearns, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Lehman Brothers. Their collateral requirements went from 12-to-1 risk-to-collateral, which provided adequate buffer for bad loans, up to a rule of 40-to-1, $40 of loans for $1 of collateral. The bubble burst on speculators, not on low-income Community Reinvestment Act loans.
The low-income Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) loans were very stable in the meltdown. They accounted for a very small percent of the housing market collapse.
Blaming low-income CRA borrowers for the collapse is dishonest and cowardly. It was non-CRA borrowers, fools refinancing on bloated appraisals, and investors buying homes on insane expectations that prices would continue rising, that collapsed the market.
Don’t shift the blame to those who played by the rules, and don’t blame the 1990s for what happened in 2004-2006.

Ronald Reagan Parkway, 9:56,
You sound like some liberal weany who would be afraid to commit himself to anything but serving his country with dignity. Maybe a Wall Street demonstrator with an ax to grind with hard working people. Perhaps some whining liberal who wants to take something from someone who works hard for what he has and give it to you. You are exactly what is wrong with this country. People like you call deserving people names, demonize accomplishment and loyalty to country by calling out honorable veterans who served to protect your right to make asinine statements. But you wouldn’t understand any of that, now would you?
