‘Mainstream media now having their competitive juices unleashed’

WND

Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton says the courage of three Benghazi whistleblowers may well trigger more critical revelations about what happened before, during and after the terrorist attack.

He also told WND Democrats are unified at the moment in defending President Obama and former Secretary of State Clinton, but they’re getting increasingly worried.

At the end of a week focused on Benghazi, including dramatic testimony Wednesday on Capitol Hill, new revelations are calling the Obama administration’s actions into question. ABC News reports the CIA talking points drafted in the wake of the attack were changed 12 times before U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice appeared on five Sunday morning talk shows. According to ABC’s Jonathan Karl, all references to al-Qaida and terrorist attacks were scrubbed. Karl said the order came from State Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, who did not want congressional critics to “abuse” the information in the original talking points.

Bolton said this latest news further confirms the critical testimony offered by former Libya Deputy Chief of Mission Gregory Hicks.

“This is what happens when you finally allow people who actually were involved in the events of 9/11 to testify,” Bolton said. “I think the most dramatic aspect of the testimony on Wednesday was the repeated assertion by Gregory Hicks and the others that this was never believed by anybody on the ground in Libya to be anything other than a terrorist attack.

“As Mr. Hicks said, the YouTube video was a non-event for us in Libya. He said all the embassies reporting from the get-go was that it was a terrorist attack. He said that he had said this to Secretary Clinton when she called him at 2 a.m. his time,” Bolton said. “So there was no question here of conflicting intelligence, no question here of what the White House calls the fog of war. You don’t need intelligence reports when you can talk to your own employees in the State Department and other agencies who were right there on the ground. That’s why I think not just the rewriting of the talking points but the entire administration approach, including what Secretary of State Clinton said and including what the president said at the United Nations about the Muhammad video, were false and known to be false right from the outset.”

  • If you see John Bolton, its an automatic, guaranteed LIE that is coming. You will see EVERYTHING about Banghazi EXCEPT the truth- which is that it was the operation to arm, fund, train and disseminate Qaeda death squads into Syria. But it backfired and Stevens got killed.

    All the rest is coverup – which will also be used as political weapon to bring down Obama-Clinton- without ever teliing the real truth of what was going on there. Bolton/Clinton/Obama are all criminals who should be jailed
