In reply to the discussion: What ABOUT that anti-Muslim video that supposedly triggered the murders in Benghazi? [View all]brush
(53,764 posts)A mysterious ex-con secured funding, equipment, production people, production location, actors, video translation to Arabic, video posting to YouTube, and the alerting of the Arab media of its existence online, all within two months of getting out of jail? Do you really think all of that is possible for a just-out-of-jail ex-con without huge monetary backing by someone? And Romney held a press conference to bash the President before the smoke even cleared in Libya. Seems he had been primed to do this to gain electoral advantage because his little press conference (ending with a smirk on his face) came only two, I repeat, two minutes after Secretary Clinton went on the air to give the info that the State Department had on the on-going incident. Where did Romney get the information before the rest of the country? All this seems, including Romney's timing of his little smirking attack on the administration, too coordinated to just be coincidence. I say we need to find out who funded the video. Could very well have been right wingers with SuperPac money who were so determined to win the election that anything was fair game in damaging the President, with a few deaths being just collateral damage. And that video producer/pawn, by the way, has been bum rushed back to jail on other charges. Seems someone doesn't want him available to investigative reporters. I wonder why? The ones to benefit from escalating protests and a terrorist attack flaring up in the Middle East timed for 9/11 and a couple of months before our election, that also damages the President's foreign policy bona fides by the way, would be none other than the repugs. We definitely need to follow the money instead of falling for all the McCain/Graham bluster and outrage over Susan Rice just reading talking inaccurate talking points given to her by the CIA. McCain's attacks could be more than his enmity towards the President and Rice. They could be designed to keep the public's attention away from the origin and funding of the video.
