Republican Operatives Planed Benghazi Attack......

Karl Rove(Mad Obama won Again) and the hateful liars they are need to be investigated into why this attack
took place on 9/11-2012 what a convenient date, a little too convenient to get the country
to forget Bush lying for his deeds that led to 2 illegal wars, hundreds of thousands killed, Way too obvious.
If Alex Jones and Glenn Beck had their "Informers" look into this instead of panning for aluminum hats, they might get
recognized as a REAL AMERICANS. But Alas, AJ and GB don't need to tell the truth to get rich.
This whole Benghazi attack was paid for by Roger Ailes, and Republicans (Fox News Repeated this over and over)
Until this bullshit story became a fact to their cult followers, Including the several rwnj's on the hill. IMHO.

Your opinion, when it conflicts with evidence and logic, is arrogant, or at least contemptuous of reality. So to be honest, you need to write IMAO or IMCORO. Or let me suggest you use "IMIO." But I won't tell you what that second I stands for.

The belief has to come from somewhere. It's not a vacuum.

Either the opinion is informed from your interpretation of the world around you, or is a belief held in spite of that world. The latter would be considered fallacious or invalid.

a little more about the timing of the release of that insulting Terry Jones(?) video around 9/11. I don't know if it was a Republican plot or not but it's hard not to believe that the video didn't at least feed in somewhat to the anger and contribute somewhat to the violent nature of the protests that occurred on 9/11.

Kudos for that.

I love a good conspiracy theory. For this one to have happened, what would it take? They would have had to assess Clinton as somebody they felt was too likely to apologize to the countries she was in. Thus a video produced, designed to upset Muslims, put out at the exact same time as the bombings would be used to elicit an inappropriate apology for the video. And with any thugs for hire to carry out the actual crimes, the misdirection and apology for the video could be spun as misdirection for foul deeds....

Turning it over in my head...

I'm honestly not so sure. The bottom line is, if they were going to set up a situation, they could have set one up a whole lot more politically effective than this one: The entire Republican argument in the Benghazi situation essentially relies on them redirecting blame away from terrorists on to Americans, and with 9/11 as a major part of their history, that just doesn't have a lot of credibility in that game. I think Americans are at they point where they are ready to place blame with the individuals who carry out terrorist attacks, not those who were at the helm when they did.

PEace!
