The latest excuse by the Obama White House regarding why details from the CIA outlining the attacks on the Benghazi consulate were likely terrorist related were removed from the talking points given to U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice who then used them to give incorrect information to the American public, is that “someone” in the DNI altered those talking points.
EXCERPT: (via CBS News)
CBS News has learned that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) cut specific references to “al Qaeda” and “terrorism” from the unclassified talking points given to Ambassador Susan Rice on the Benghazi consulate attack – with the agreement of the CIA and FBI. The White House or State Department did not make those changes.
…An intelligence source tells CBS News correspondent Margaret Brennan the links to al Qaeda were deemed too “tenuous” to make public, because there was not strong confidence in the person providing the intelligence. CIA Director David Petraeus, however, told Congress he agreed to release the information — the reference to al Qaeda — in an early draft of the talking points, which were also distributed to select lawmakers.
…The head of the DNI is James Clapper, an Obama appointee. He ultimately did review the points, before they were given to Ambassador Rice and members of the House intelligence committee on Sept. 14. They were compiled the day before. LINK

This is preposterous. The Obama White House, (while the president is out of the country mind you) would now have us believe that some staff member inside of the James Clapper-run DNI, removed specific information given to them by the CIA Director himself? Really? No way that happens without White House approval. And that approval was most likely based upon politics – not in the interests of national intelligence.
Also note how this same Obama White House is once again laying the blame for the Benghazi cover-up at the feet of anyone but themselves. CIA, FBI, Military Inteligence – anyone but President Barack Obama. And yet, it was Barack Obama who so recently told the American public Susan Rice was sent out by HIS White House during those now infamous weekend news program appearances where she repeated the lie that the attack on Benghazi was the result of anger over a ridiculous YouTube video.
Getting lost in the Susan Rice talking points controversy are the still remaining questions of exactly WHAT Americans were actually doing in Benghazi. Was their arms sales going on? Is it possible the Obama administration was aiding terrorists in obtaining weapons to be used in Syria? Was the Benghazi compound being used as some kind of CIA-run terrorist holding cell as was recently suggested? Why was there no official cause of death from an American doctor for slain Ambassador Christopher Stevens? Upon his body being returned to the United States it was quickly disposed of. Why so little interest among the Obama administration into how exactly Ambassador Stevens died – or was killed? Was he tortured? Were any of the other Americans killed during the attack tortured or their bodies brutalized in some way?
Who knew what – and when?
Watergate.
Benghazi-Gate.
Where is our media now to demand answers of Barack Obama just as they did decades ago from Richard Nixon? Watergate did not kill anyone. The Benghazi massacre killed four, (THAT WE KNOW OF) and its influence will likely kill yet more…

“But that committee, yeah, it was doomed at the outset. The Dems…not all of them – the leadership…they want to cut defense and this committee was an ends to go and do that you see. Create the mandatory cuts legislation that was part of the deal a few months back. So those Dems get the cuts – the president gets his do-nothing Congress campaign theme, and the Republicans get the blame because the media keeps calling it the “Republican Congress” right? That tagline has been in play all year long…” -WHITE HOUSE INSIDER
Thanks UM. There is much benefit in keeping Benghazigate front and center. We must all continue to pound the story.
We know we are being lied to. Brave people died. No way we are going to let the WH and it’s lieing talking points and mouthpieces slip this under the carpet.
Shuck and jive?
Dat beez raaaayyyyycissss! lol
Can we cut to the chase? Everything about the administration is lies, diversion, distraction, cover-ups, etc.
Agreed UM, this is preposterous.
“CBS News has learned that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) cut specific references to “al Qaeda” and “terrorism” from the unclassified talking points given to Ambassador Susan Rice on the Benghazi consulate attack – with the agreement of the CIA and FBI.”
Really? I haven’t heard that Peteaus testified he agreed to this … and what will the FBI say when questioned under oath — if at all …
Feast your eyes on this:

And of course the new and improved surveillance law won’t apply to Congress. They are turning our country into a giant prison system. Those who voted for ‘gifts’ apparently don’t have a clue, and I am not talking those people who lost their job or business through no fault of their own.
The bill has been withdrawn by Sen. Leahy. Too much criticism of it. Thank goodness.
This is what happens when you elect a moslem communist who hates the USA.
The first thing Omoslem did in office was give $— million to Hamas.
The next thing Obamatollah did was start persecuting the CIA for so-called “torture.” Aka waterboarding. Aka the techniques that broke the top 3 al-qaeda dirtbags and led to Bin Laden.

Please print our comments…… I keep getting your comment is awaiting Moderation!!
This information may be important to the salvation of our Country…… I am not making up this information!! I found it from links from others.
Please re-consider posting our comments!!
Is that it ebysan? My comments just disappear, I thought it was a glitch, not ‘moderation’ ~ Let’s see if this posts….
Uh oh!
Can Obama still be STOPED??
Yes!!
And the best part – this is “totally constitutional”.
The 12th Amendment of the Constitution as well as Article II of the Constitution govern the “Electoral College”.
According to the 12th Amendment, for the “Electoral College” to be able to select the president, it ….must have a “quorum of two-thirds” of the states voting.
If enough states …..refuse to participate, the “Electoral College” will not have a quorum.
If the Electoral College does not have a quorum or otherwise cannot vote or decide,
then the responsibility for selecting the president and vice president devolves to the Congress.
The “House of Representatives”……. selects the “president”
and the “Senate” selects the “vice president”
I hope the RI notifies………. all 50 States of this….We may be able to Block Obama from getting a second term!!
Wow ebysan!
December 17, 2012
The Electors meet in their state and vote for President and Vice President on separate ballots.

Can we get past the DISTRACTION of the talking points and get to the reasons why we didn’t send in help when they had information so quickly and were able to do so?
UM
