Susan Rice Repeats the Big Lie

Susan Rice, our UN Ambassador has repeated the ridiculous talking point that all the riots in the Middle East are a result of a video produced in 2011 and had nothing to do with anti-American feelings. In addition, Rice says there is no evidence of pre-planning.

"Rice said "extremists" arrived with heavy weapons, but "we don’t see any signs this was a pre-meditated, pre-planned attack."

Huh?

Isn't there a contradiction within that very statement? What is she suggesting-that it was a spontaneous demonstration that got out of hand? You don't bring heavy weapons to what is intended to be merely a protest.

And isn't it the greatest coincidence of all time that all this happened on the 11th  anniversary of 9-11?

Even the Libyan president says it was pre-planned.

It gets better.

"We're quite popular in Libya."

What the administration seems to be hiding is that there was intelligence that something was cooking in the run-up to September 11. I find it hard to believe that the various intelligence services, including our own, didn't get some tip off that something was planned for the 11th in numerous countries. Reports are that they did. Yet where was the security in Benghazi? Where were the Marine Guards? Is it true that Secretary of State Clinton rejected requests to place Marine Guards at the Benghazi consulate? Is it true that the Marine Guards in Cairo were not allowed to have loaded weapons?

The truth is that we are repeating the convenient lie given by the extremists that this is all about some video put on the Internet that goes back to the previous year. Yet our very own "investigative" press is going right along with it. Contrast that with how the press went after the Gulf of Tonkin incident under President Lyndon Johnson back in the 1960s in Viet Nam. 

The big lie about that video serves the purposes not only of the extremists, but our own government as well. Unfortunately, it shifts blame to the victim, which is the US.
