re: #105 Obdicut

Did you actually read that article? What they said is that this wasn’t a peaceful protest that turned violent. That’s true: These guys came to kill.

How do you think that article supports your position?

I’m not even sure people know what the positions are any more. The gist of the Republican complaint seems to be that the administration claimed that this was a protest gone wrong. The GOP claims that it was in fact a planned, organized attack, and the White House tried to cover it up so they wouldn’t look foolish.

5 days after the attack, the administration (in the person of Susan Rice) was claiming that “what this began as was a spontaneous, not a premeditated response to what happened in Cairo.” Many people continue to hold this view. Critics claim there was never any demonstration of any significance.

Does this sum it up? I’m still trying to sort it out.
