We all know that the Obama administration wasted no time trying to pin the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on an obscure YouTube video titled “The Innocence of Muslims.”
However, new documents obtained by conservative group Judicial Watch prove that the Obama administration was seeking to blame a YouTube video while Americans were still on the roof of the consulate, fighting off a terrorist onslaught.
And, to make things worse, the documents prove the administration originally wanted to pin the attacks — which killed the ambassador to Libya and three other Americans — on a video made by a Christian pastor.
According to Tuesday news release by Judicial Watch, the documents that uncovered this latest Benghazi scandal were discovered from a Freedom of Information Act request filed last year seeking “‘any and all logs, reports, or other records’ the Washington-based Diplomatic Security Command Center produced between Sept. 10, 2012, and Sept. 13, 2012, relating to the terrorist attack.”
The documents proved that before the attack had even finished, the White House was on the phone with YouTube to try to bolster its pet theory about an Internet video sparking the attack, even though it was clear from the beginning that it was a planned terrorist strike.
“The documents detail that only three hours after the initial attack on U.S. personnel in Benghazi, the White House contacted YouTube in an apparent effort to initially blame the assault on an obscure ‘Pastor John video,’ rather than filmmaker Nakoula ‘Mark’ Basseley Nakoula,” the release states.
“The administration falsely claimed that Nakoula’s video, ‘Innocence of Muslims,’ provoked the attack. ”
One of the emails from the night of the attack stated the “White House is reaching out to U-Tube to advise ramifications of posting of the Pastor Jon video.”
“Pastor John” was an apparent reference to a video by Oregon-based Pastor Jon Courson, whose “God vs. Allah” sermon had apparently angered some Muslims.
However, an audio-only version of the sermon uploaded to YouTube in September of 2011 has only garnered 21,000 views in four years, and probably far fewer at the time of the attack.
So, this is what they were doing when the assault was going on: Trying to figure out whom to blame publicly. Of course, it couldn’t be Muslim terrorism — it must have been some low-rent video that had gotten the Libyans all riled up.
These are the priorities of the administration, folks: covering their posteriors and covering up any reality that might inconveniently reek of political incorrectness. Compared to those aims, four American lives just aren’t that important to them.
