CNN’s Candy Crowley: Romney Was Actually Right On Libya

Posted by in News, Politics, Video on October 17, 2012 12:04 am / 7 comments

Well, well, well:

Look, even if one stipulates President Obama clearly said the attacks in Libya were carried out by terrorists, there can be no argument that he and his administration said they didn’t know what they were over and over again for more than a week after they took place:

While some on the left think this was some big moment for President Obama in the debate, I think they couldn’t be more wrong. I think this is going to come back and bite them very quickly. Here’s the simple question: If he knew and called it a terrorist attacks the day after, why did he and his adminstration repeatedly refuse to say the same thing for more than a week?

    So, was is PLANNED to have during the debate, to dispute Gov Romney’s statement about Pres Obama’s Rose Garden post-Benghazi murders?

    You be the judge.
    Here is moderator, Candy Crowley now correcting herself (after the debate, when millions are NOT watching or listening any longer), and she said that she was wrong… Pres Obama did NOT mention that it was TERRORISM the day of, or day after Sept 11, 2012 murders of our US Ambassador and 3 other Americans.
    TOO LATE, the damage (assertion that Gov Romney is was completely wrong about Pres Obama’s immediate response).

    So, was it planned?
    She did start the 2nd Presidential Debate saying that ONLY SHE had the questions in advance, not Obama or Romney.

    Statement by the President on the Attack in Benghazi

    I strongly condemn the outrageous attack on our diplomatic facility in Benghazi, which took the lives of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. Right now, the American people have the families of those we lost in our thoughts and prayers. They exemplified America’s commitment to freedom, justice, and partnership with nations and people around the globe, and stand in stark contrast to those who callously took their lives.

    I have directed my Administration to provide all necessary resources to support the security of our personnel in Libya, and to increase security at our diplomatic posts around the globe. While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants.

    On a personal note, Chris was a courageous and exemplary representative of the United States. Throughout the Libyan revolution, he selflessly served our country and the Libyan people at our mission in Benghazi. As Ambassador in Tripoli, he has supported Libya’s transition to democracy. His legacy will endure wherever human beings reach for liberty and justice. I am profoundly grateful for his service to my Administration, and deeply saddened by this loss.

    The brave Americans we lost represent the extraordinary service and sacrifices that our civilians make every day around the globe. As we stand united with their families, let us now redouble our own efforts to carry their work forward.

    I am confused. I listened to the entire tape. At the end he does indeed reference “act of terror”. Watch it again.

    [...] Per a CNN interview post-debate, moderator Candy Crowley has essentially admitted that she was incorrect in supporting Obama’s statement during the debate in which he claimed he called the Benghazi [...]

    If Candy Crowley is so smart why didn’t she set Americans straight on Libya? She was on TV while the President sent out spokes people to tell Americans this was a just a little demonstration about a movie?? Candy Crowley belongs on CNN where no one listens to their spin!

    If you read twice the statement of Presidend Obama on the Attack in Benghazi -with attention- you may see in the words of the President of United States “”the condemn of the outrageous attack”" that means not a crime, not an isolated act BUT an actt of terror!

    Wow, anyone who cannot see the lies by this administration is obtuse. 23 lies over 14 days about a video??? Come on he lied, Hillary lied, rice lied, every main stream media network lied, and if if he mentioned it the next day in the context of the embassy attack, why go on the view,go to the UN, DAVID LETTERMAN, UNIVISION,5 SUNDAY NEWS SHOWS, 6 WHITE HOUSE PRESS BRIEFINGS AND BLAME THE VIDEO.

    You are correct Gregory! Great analysis of another example of the complete void of leadership that this administration has exhibited over it’s entire history. The part I cannot understand is the almost pathological need to come to the aid and support this administration by some wings of the media and the liberal left.
