From Town Hall:
Whoa! Devastating!
Let's count the revelations embedded within this minute-and-a-half long clip:
(1) "The FBI still hasn't made it to the crime scene in Benghazi." More on this later, but the fact that the administration is treating our sacked consulate as a "crime" scene is telling. This was a terrorist attack. An act of war. (Andy McCarthy, call your office). We've dispatched criminal investigators to look into it, but they still haven't even made it to ground zero yet? Nine days after the fact? Why?
(2) "Witnesses tell CBS News that there was never an anti-American protest outside of the consulate. Instead, they say it came under planned attack." As I wrote this morning, the administration is at last beginning to acknowledge the latter fact, but the former element is crucial, too. If there really were no protests outside the consulate before the ambush began -- as multiple news outlets are now reporting -- even the premise of the administration's fictional account is false. CBS says the facts on the ground are in "direct contradiction" to the White House's statements. The administration is still saying that the raid could have spun out from spontaneous protests that didn't even exist.
(3) "What's clear...is that the public won't get a detailed account of what happened until after the presidential election." This conclusion strongly reinforces several of my theories about the White House's foot-dragging and misdirection on the Benghazi raid. We have a murdered ambassador and sensitive intelligence missing, and the administration is in pure political CYA mode.
Where, out of curiosity, is our Commander-in-Chief on all of this? We know he hasn't taken a single question from the media about the attacks, his spokesman is punting questions to the State Department, and the State Department has explicitly stated it won't field questions on the subject. Bill Hemmer asked Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt if the American people can expect to hear from the president, now that this story has taken several drastic turns since his original September 12 rose garden statement (no questions). Labolt's answer contains many words, but the message is clear: No.
And then there's this:

When is enough, enough? In America where we lack political leadership, are we not back to the 1600s? Why don't we write up a new constitution that makes sense, get rid of all of the 545 crooked politians in one swell foop? With that why not make the CIA and FBI go out and get private jobs, where they are supposed to "work" for their income? What a disgrace this lame fake president has cast upon us. Our press should go back to the USSR and take Hollywood with them. What a mess we have here. Are there no more Americans still standing?
This should cost them the election. Provided the Romney campaign finds its own tail.
This is the time Romney has to show he has a strategy, at least, as to how to deal with terror, jihad, CAIR, calling them by their name regardless of what the FBI training manuals say ...
By all accounts he seems to be a great guy, but he looks so bland ... Hope he finds some steel somewhere in the campaign.
