Wasserman Schultz: Wrong Statements About Libya Doesn't Mean They Were False!

[DPI]

Spin doctor deluxe! Wrong does not mean false. I see where she is going with trying to explain intent, basically she is saying they weren’t lying, but we all know they were. They are just grasping for straws and trying to justify their misleadings.



Piers Morgan, CNN: The really important horse that should be flogged is the behavior and the statements of those who are in positions of responsibility and we would assume knowledge. And it's pretty unAmerican, pretty unAmerican to be putting up completely false statements before you know the facts, isn't it?

Debbie Wasseerman Schultz, DNC chair: Piers, it is not okay for you to be saying that the administration was putting out completely false statements. They put out information that they had at the time based on the intelligence that they were given --

Piers Morgan: That turned out to be completely wrong.

Wasserman Schultz: Well that doesn't mean it was false. It doesn't mean that it was deliberate. It means that.

Morgan: What?! Now wait a minute. If you put out a false statement, then it's false, it's wrong. It's both of those things.

Wasserman Schultz: But you're suggesting that it's … Piers, what you're suggesting is that it was somehow deliberate. It was not deliberate. What they did was it was important to get information out that they had at the time. And they did that. And as they learned more information, they corrected the original information that they put out. But there was nothing sinister here. This was simply the president of the United States and the administration making sure that we did a careful investigation, gave the American people the information that they needed at the time that we had based on our best intelligence and then as more intelligence was gathered we gave the updated information. There is nothing sinister about that.

What's terrible unfortunate though, is that you do -- there's no around these investigations that Republicans in Congress and Mitt Romney have left to go after the administration questioning whether or not there was any deliberate attempt to mislead. We should be closing ranks, working together to prevent this from happening again.

Morgan: Well the answer to that Debbie, is -- the answer to that is to make sure that the original statements that were made are accurate.

I find this statement interesting in that the typical administration response to any questionable situation is "There is nothing to report until we gather all the information". Yet, in this case, they jumped right in with "information" which had no basis in fact.

That's IMO because the entire ordeal was planned out, including the info that was to be spoonfed to the American People. (insert Hillarys' Evil laugh here)

Al-CIAda is a useful enemy to have around. Sure helps to get items on the list started / done.

That's code speak for "we are trying to figure out if the sheep will buy our bull$h!t". They lied their ass off. And the reason they did is because 2 months out from an election they got caught flat footed by terrorists. The terrorists hit them on the anniversary of 9/11 and they were asleep at the wheel. To this day they just can't believe that the islamists (or anyone else for that matter) doesn't just love them. Bottom line they got nailed and they damn well knew it. Then they lied...
