Has anyone asked that about Benghazi?
Wouldn’t you think that, when communicating something of this nature to the American people, the government would simply say what happened? The only things I’d think that would need to be omitted would be any details that could jeopardize investigation, or any names of any casualties whose families had not yet been contacted. You leave those out of your initial presentation, and if you’re asked anything in those arenas, you say “I can’t comment on that right now. Next question.”
Right?
Why did our government feel it necessary to apparently say, very deliberately: all right, let’s come up with the official version of the attack? Why are more people not finding that strange? I mean, lots of interesting (and, it would appear, damning) details have emerged about the circuitous editing path of the document, but why are more people not finding it curious that there was a document in the first place?
I find it plausible, and indeed likely, that the Obama administration wants to tell a specific and highly consistent story about how it relates to the Arab world. An attack by an al-Qaeda-affiliated group that leaves four Americans dead is inconsistent with the narrative. It is inconvenient, and therefore it was removed.
I have no trouble believing our esteemed president is sufficiently arrogant, brazen, and morally bankrupt for that to be the case.

You have to keep the timing in mind. They needed talking points because the story 1) had to be consistent, and 2) not make Obama appear weak re: terrorism, because this happened right before the election.
