Odd then, that the fake "scandal" is not an argument over "what really happened." It is infantile mewling and puking over talking points on television programs.
There are many wanting to know what really happened and a part of that would be why this lame excuse was used.

Not many. Most people have moved on. Just some like you who can't even answer simple questions of what actually happened. All you really know is that something happened and now (or rather, then) its time for screaming and false outrage.
And that is easily seen. As well as something like umbrellagate. Thats why most just tune those like you out.
But rave and rant all you wish. Thats what you know best.
The CIA nor the White House believed it was about a video. They simply couldn't come up with a better excuse for getting caught unprepared.
"The CIA nor the White House believed it was about a video."
According to the Susan Rice talking points she said, " But our current best assessment, based on the information that we have at present, is that, in fact, what this began as, it was a spontaneous — not a premeditated — response to what had transpired in Cairo. In Cairo, as you know, a few hours earlier, there was a violent protest that was undertaken in reaction to this very offensive video that was disseminated.
And Obama said on about 4 different occasions it WAS on account of the video.
Hillary claimed the same thing.
Both Obama and Hillary told the parents of the deceased at the scene when the body's were returned that they would get the man responsible for the video.
That's one possibility. Another is that no such actual testimony was offered, and he is putting as fine a point as possible on that fact by demonstrating that you can't answer the question.
Maybe it has, maybe it hasn't. What is certain is that you yourself can't answer it. You can't even (it appears) provide a link.
Did you watch the hearings?
"Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission for the U.S. in Libya and the highest ranking official in the country at the time of the Benghazi attacks, testified before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday that Lt. Col. Gibson was “furious” after receiving a stand down order on the night of Sept. 11, 2012." Who Is Lt. Col. Gibson and Does He Hold the Key to Who Gave Stand Down Order in Benghazi? | BWCentral

Ignore the facts all you want, it isn't going away. The little gay communist is going down. It takes time, but his lies are all coming together and his future is grim.. Would love to see him swing in the breeze, but probably not that lucky, will have to be happy with his resignation in disgrace..
He is sub human and deserves the worst for destroying our country. You are worshiping a communist, not to bright..

The talking points Susan Rice used were derived from the CIA's initial assessment of the attack including the link to the video and the spontaneous nature of the attack.

I watched the complete hearings the day Hicks testified. When the "stand down" order was given the U.S personnel in Benghazi had already been evacuated to the Benghazi airport and were being transported to Tripoli. Gibson may have been furious, but it didn't make much sense to send more people to Benghazi when everyone was being evacuated to Tripoli.

What do you think those two could have done at Benghazi? The Army doesn't have planes sitting on runways, loaded with troops fully supplied, engines running waiting on random calls from where ever.
The point being by the time they could get to Benghazi with what they needed, too late Stevens was already dead. Possible Stevens was already dead by the time they heard about Benghazi.
Republicans were praying on their hands and knees that Benghazi would be this President's "Watergate." That goon Romney mentioned it in his farcical campaign. Boehner, McConnell, and all the rest of the usual suspects were so sure President Obama was going to be taken down. Turns out that they were WRONG as usual. Another manufactured scandal that leaves egg on the faces of the hapless GOP.
Benghazi was NEVER an issue and once again, President Obama kicks GOP az in giving them a dose of reality.
Security of our embassy's are the responsibility of the State Department not the CIA.
Which has bugger-all to do with Benghazi, as it wasn't an embassy.
