Bell: There Was No Protest,
Only a Terrorist Attack, in Libya

The
Obama Administration’s story on
the attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens has changed yet again.
In
advance of a hearing on
diplomatic security in the House Oversight and Government Reform
Committee
today, more details have leaked out—and the State Department is now
saying it
never thought that the attack in Benghazi was prompted by a YouTube
video.
“The
State Department now says it
never believed the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi,
Libya,
was a film protest gone awry,” the Associated Press reports.
“Department
officials were asked about the administration’s initial—and since
retracted—explanation
linking the violence to protests over an American-made anti-Muslim
video
circulating on the Internet. One official responded, ‘That was not our
conclusion.’ He called it a question for ‘others’ to answer, without
specifying.”
Those
“others” are top Obama
Administration officials, who maintained for days that the attack
stemmed from
a spontaneous demonstration against the video trailer for Innocence of
Muslims.
These officials now find themselves under the proverbial bus.
