Sorry that's classified.
By pretending it was spontaneous and therefore unexpected, they thought they could be off the hook for not increasing security when requested to do so. The problem is that in spite of the friendly MSM, the facts got out and it went from a cover story to a full blown cover up. The must have known that a cover up would bring down both Obama and Clinton, so they took the chance that they could lie their way past the election and have time to fix it with the typical "old news" rhetoric.
We may never find out the whole story of Benghazi. That is because of one word: “classified”. Unlike Watergate, the Benghazi attack was on an official government facility. There is therefore much classified information that has not been revealed and I dare to say it would be unclassified if it would help Obama’s or Clinton’s case. There were more than thirty survivors on the ground at Benghazi and we don’t even know their names. Congressmen questioning witnesses in public hearings have to tiptoe around what they already know through classified information and ask questions that at best only amplify what we already have heard.
Instead of pointing the finger at Jay Carney, let's not forget that he speaks for the president. He is not trying to deceive us. Obama is.

There were thirty plus survivors at Benghazi. We heard from three. If the truth would clear Obama and Clinton, we would hear from all of them.
The author gives some global sea level numbers but none specific to Grenada. How much of the Grenada problem is sea level and how much is beach erosion and hurricanes? How can one form an informed opinion without specific numbers?
Hilary said "What difference at this point does it make?" The response should have been that the committee has the job of oversight on behalf of the people and have the duty to get to the bottom of this. Next, I think they know much more than they are saying and the questioning seems inept because they have to carefully phrase questions in such a way that avoids asking on the basis of classified information. The White House can cover this up because all the truly damning facts are classified. All the dems have to do is make noise.

Why does he do it? Because it works for him. He won two elections talking like this.

Fox news should interrupt American idol this week with breaking news on the Bengazi hearings. It's the only way low information voters will hear the story.
