So the intel was mixed so we couldn't report it, except at the Rose Garden where we totally got it right. The fact that the terrorists claimed responsibility on Facebook is not good intel and should be ignored until more information came into place.We were right to blame the video because we were still waiting for more information. But then we spent millions making a video to appease the Middle East so that they wouldn't attack us again. I don't really know where that fits in.
Though we knew there was an attack, we didn't know enough about the incident to send in troops even though we knew enough to know what the people were chanting. I mean, the reception on the drone giving us real time updates was not that good. But the attack only lasted 7 hours! And the reinforcements were a good half hour away. It would have been too late. Also, small reinforcement units from the CIA and Tripoli made it there after a few hours so people should really stop blaming us for not reacting.
The Libyan people, the people the administration blamed for the attack, were the people who found Stevens' body and brought him to the hospital. See, how were we supposed to know that they would storm our embassy. Wait, what's the story we're going with again?
Whatever - that GOP guy said something about rape. It's Bush's fault. It was the GOP in Congress' fault. The buck stops with me.
