I don't know is this e mail evidence the White House knew the attacks were not related to a video? They did say on multiple occasions. This "act of terror" was directly related to a protest of a video. Did any one have the e mail evidence? If the e mail is a recent thing doesnt that make the two weeks of lying about it a little more damning? I am asking.

"Did any one have the e mail evidence?"

yes. everyone in the state department, in the white house, and in the intelligence community, received mutliple emails, within hours of the attack.

Spence, we now have physical, irreutable, undeniable proof strongly suggesting that we knew this was a terrorist attack right off the bat. Obama, Biden, Jat Carney, and Ambassador Rice said for days afterword, that there was no evidence there was a terrorist attack.

This probably costs him the election, and deservedly so.

Suck on that, Spence.

You keep asserting this but it's clearly not true.

I don't know how you get more specific than this:

Let me say at the outset that obviously our hearts are heavy this week -- we had a tough day a couple of days ago, for four Americans were killed in an attack on our diplomatic post in Libya. Yesterday I had a chance to go over to the State Department to talk to friends and colleagues of those who were killed. And these were Americans who, like so many others, both in uniform and civilians, who serve in difficult and dangerous places all around the world to advance the interests and the values that we hold dear as Americans.

And a lot of times their work goes unheralded, doesn’t get a lot of attention, but it is vitally important. We enjoy our security and our liberty because of the sacrifices that they make. And they do an outstanding job every single day without a lot of fanfare. (Applause.)

So what I want all of you to know is that we are going to bring those who killed our fellow Americans to justice. (Applause.) I want people around the world to hear me: To all those who would do us harm, no act of terror will go unpunished. It will not dim the light of the values that we proudly present to the rest of the world. No act of violence shakes the resolve of the United States of America. (Applause.)

All the emails seem to indicate is that an extremist group took credit for the attack, well duh? Everybody there appeared to know this and a few days later stormed their headquarters.

The narrative here isn't that hard to understand and I'm not quite sure why you're having such a hard time with it.

Oh, wait, I get it now.

"You keep asserting this but it's clearly not "

You keep focusing on what he said in trhe Rose Garden, and you conveniently ignore everything else that was said for the next 2 weeks. Unfortunately for you and your hero, he really stepped in it, and he did it at a most inconvenient time.

"Everybody there appeared to know this "

When, exactly, did 'everyone' in the administration say out loud that it was a terrorist group that carried out the attack, without subsequently conrtadicting that? Did you hear anything that Jay Carney or Ambassador Rice said, afetr Obama's speech in the Rose Garden?

"I'm not quite sure why you're having such a hard time with it"

As usual, you misunderstand. I'm not having a hard time with this, I am enjoying it thoroughly. You and Obama will be the ones having a hard time with it.

The quote I just posted was from Colorado the next day, not the Rose Garden. The 7 hour timeline has been out for days, I'd encourage you to actually read about it.

I'm not sure you really understand much about the story to be honest.

The email story from today was that someone posted on the extremist groups Facebook page that they were taking credit for the attack. It was then denied by the actual group. The information isn't a clear as you'd like to believe. As Clinton said today, we don't base our intel off of social media.

You're chasing the spin and misinformation like a half-blind horny coon hound in a pen full of meth addicted rabbits.

What you don't like you don't refute, rather you just ignore.

Sad.

Spence, you're right. Nothing to see here. don't give it a second thought. I hope Obama doesn't think this is an issue, either...
