Atlas Shrugs "Despite the lies and blame-game of the Obama administration, we finally have an accurate account of what really happened during the jihadist attack on our consulate in Benghazi, from two two senior State Department officials.
"It was, without question, a full-out military attack on the US.
"It was, without question, a full-out military attack on the US.
"The Obama administration knew from the start that this was a very well-organized jihadist attack. Blaming our freedoms, our first amendment rights for the jihadist attack, was a second attack on the American people (perhaps even more frightening) perpetuated by the Obama administration.
"The transcript is frightening and deeply disturbing. The Obama administration is at war with the American people, and Americans are dying because of it. This is surely impeachable. Romney ought to be shouting this from the mountain tops."

Ann Althouse adds: "Amazing that Obama was doing this on "Letterman" and "The View" — the day after the attack!""Well, why are you trying to normalize your security in a situation that's visibly unstable? You even acknowledge that."So you've got a bad policy. And anyone looking at that would say, wait a minute; we are screwed up; we can't normalize here."So that's the first problem. The second problem is, as soon as an ambassador is killed, the president should be more proactive and be out there. "
