The issue of whether the Benghazi attack was an “act of terror” was the highlight of the foreign policy debate.
Candy Crowley jumped to Obama’s assistance, and falsely confirmed Obama’s debate statement that he had called it an “act of terror” the day after the attack in a Rose Garden statement. Any fair reading of that statement was that Obama at most was talking about terrorism in general relating to 9/11/2001 not 9/11/2012. The administration, particularly U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, was emphatic that this was a protest gone bad.
There’s something we didn’t know, however. In a portion of a 60 Minutes interview which was not aired, Obama refused to say the attack was terrorism. (Original transcript here.)
That segment was just posted a couple of days ago.
Bret Baier picked up on it, and posts CBS Held Damaging Obama Benghazi Tape:
Two days before the election, CBS posted additional portions of a Sept. 12 “60 Minutes” interview where President Obama seems to contradict himself on the Benghazi attack. As the Benghazi investigation gets more attention and focus, CBS is once again adding to the Benghazi timeline.
In the interview, according to the latest portions, Obama would not say whether he thought the attack was terrorism. Yet he would later emphasize at a presidential debate that in the Rose Garden the same day, he had declared the attack an act of terror.That moment was one of the most intense exchanges in the second presidential debate. Romney was on the offensive on what conservatives believed was a serious vulnerability of Obama — the handling of the Benghazi attack and what he called it from the beginning.
Someone at CBS probably will be fired over this. Not for holding the segment back, but for publishing it at all.

I an many of my neighbors have recently fallen victim to voter caging in the town of Essex, MA- in an effort by factions of our town to have “seasonal” residents removed from the voting rolls. I recently had my 2nd hearing- for over 2 hours and was asked questions about my marriage, where I go to the doctor, my dog- even my religion and where I attend church as the basis for their determinations. They threw me off anyway- despite all the paperwork I supplied them. They’ve done this to elderly as well- all in efforts to prevent them from voting on the land rent issues (which are now projected to rise 700%). Many are abandoning their homes, as they will be unable to stay there at this cost- and we aren’t even allowed to vote! Please help us!
Obama was probably having a bad hair day so CBS gave him a pass.
All you need to know about Obama and his failure to defend Americans.

That’s pretty damning. Wow.
“Someone at CBS probably will be fired over this. Not for holding the segment back, but for publishing it at all.”
So, there will be another one without a job becuase of obama!
How much MORE tape does seeBS have!?!?! This is the second lil’ dribble they’ve made.
Meanwhile, the LATEST scandal in this nest of scandals is the Obamic calculated leaks to their house organs in NYC and DC…made WHILE they were stiff-arming the Congress on the same material.
A Real man would have handled the Benghazi situation. A Real man would have taken care of the people under him on his watch (I’m thinking George Bush here). But we have been stuck with the passive-aggressive Obamakins and his coddling mamma the main-stream media.
In reality and factually, we all know Obama is an Islamist Communist operative and anti-American. He may still be an Indonesian citizen.
Terrorism or not, it was aggression against the US and it was murder, viscious cold-blooded, damnable, hellish, intentional murder.
I registered just to comment on how clever the title of this post is.
This is what I would call an “inconvenient truth” and it epitomizes the meaning of the words.
“And my suspicion is there are folks involved in this[ w]ho were looking to target Americans from the start.”

Gee, Mr. President. A bunch of “folks” show up at a US facility with weapons and you ‘suspect’ they might be “looking to target Americans.” I guess that why we pay you the big bucks. {facepalm}
Paging Candy Crowley.
There’s more. Some 500 retired high-ranking military officers have endorsed Mitt Romney, a rather unusual move. http://minx.cc:81/?post=214113
An then, there’s this: http://tinyurl.com/aruyjuo According to the Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, Representative Buck McKeon (R-CA), the US military is not responding to written requests for information from Congress.
“This is the first time I’ve seen where the military has been basically silenced, when they could not answer a direct yes and no question from the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.”
“CBS Rather-ed”! I love it. In honor of The Dan, “rather” should be a verb!
What’s the frequency, Kenneth?
Can someone find a Benghazi Survivor and interview them? Where are they?
Yes. Even the pro pro Obama Sydney Morning Herald Coverage is mentioning that people are lining the approaches to D rallies with signs for the media_~ BENGHAZI. &. MEDIA DO YOUR JOB.
But after Crowley’s Brazen intervention the lsm hit rock bottom. Compare this with the frenzy for Palin’s. Emails where major papers swarmed Juneau & lugged boxes of print ,then called for citizens to wade thru the 33.000 & report in. WAPO even thought to give them desks!
just incredible really.
