<\/a><\/p>\nRUSH: That was worldwide intel. That was the CIA, that was MI5, it was MI6, it was Interpol, it was everybody. Everybody said Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. It was intel. And they ripped Bush a new one for listening to the bad intel, for having bad intel, for not having good intelligence. And now this bunch is using bad intel as an excuse. In fact, I just got audio sound bites from some of the stuff that\u2019s happened since the program began. They are trying to bail Susan Rice out at this State Department hearing by saying, “Well, it was just bad intel,” even though they\u2019ve got their own intel unit at the State Department, they report to the White House. This cover-up is inept, but it\u2019s underway. <\/p>\n
Let\u2019s go to the sound bite. Here is Jay Carney this afternoon at the press briefing in the White House, and this is during an answer about the newly released information that there was no protest before the attack on the consulate. It was not something spontaneous. It was not a video that started it. Here\u2019s what Carney said.<\/p>\n
CARNEY: The information she had at that point from the intelligence community is the same that I had at that point. As time went on, additional information became available. Clearly we know more today than we did on the Sunday after the attack. The point we have made all along, initial assessments in the immediate aftermath of the attack in Benghazi were made, and it was a government-wide assessment that was the foundation of what Ambassador Rice said, what I said, and what others said. It is what we knew based on the limited facts we had available to us at that time. They were conclusions of the intelligence community for the entire government.<\/p>\n
RUSH: This is shameless. I told you earlier we had a story, shared the details with you from the US News & World Report, or maybe it was the Washington Examiner. At any rate, this is exactly what they\u2019re trying to do now. Bail Susan Rice out, it was bad intel. Jay Carney, what he\u2019s telling you here is, “I thought it was the video. For eight days I thought it was the video and the president thought it was the video because we got bad intel. It was a government-wide assessment that was — all we could do was deal with the intel.” She\u2019s exactly right, bad intel is an understandable, acceptable excuse. Nothing to see here, folks, don\u2019t blame us. We just had bad, bad intel. But the State Department threw this overboard. <\/p>\n
There\u2019s more coming up.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: The AP, obviously the Administration Press, with a story on the State Department. You know, because you listen to all this, you know the State Department has said that we had no intel involving a video. There was no intel that said that this was a spontaneous uprising in Benghazi. The State Department says that, State Department testifying right now before Congress. <\/p>\n
AP, headline: “State Department Reveals New Details of Benghazi Attack.” Oh, really? You couldn\u2019t get a more pabulum headline. “State Department Reveals New Details of Benghazi Attack. … The account answers some questions and leaves others unanswered. Chief among them is why for several days the Obama administration said the assault stemmed from a protest against an American-made Internet video ridiculing Islam, and whether the consulate had adequate security.” The account answers some questions and leaves others unanswered? Chief among them — which is which? <\/p>\n

The cover-up is underway. The cover-up continues with the Drive-Bys doing everything they can to cover up. Jay Carney, White House press briefing, first one in two weeks, “We just had bad intel. I\u2019m sorry. We did the best we could. We just had bad intel. The information that Susan Rice had at the time, the information I had, it was the best we had.” They\u2019re laying this off on the CIA now. They\u2019re laying this off on General Petraeus. Petraeus runs the CIA. And so now they have met, they\u2019ve had their crisis meeting this afternoon, and they\u2019ve decided to dump this on intel. And they know that the press will accept it. <\/p>\n
Of course, weapons of mass destruction, that\u2019s what the intel said that Saddam had, you know how that wasn\u2019t accepted. The bad intel was evidence that Bush ought to go. Bad intel, Bush lied. Bad intel, Bush is incompetent. Bad intel, Bush sucks. All of this stuff. And from that they tried to delegitimize the entire Iraq war. And now the same people come up and cite bad intel as their excuse for blaming a video for two weeks when the video had nothing to do with it, by the State Department\u2019s own admission. <\/p>\n
Let\u2019s continue here with the audio sound bites. Patrick Kennedy is a State Department employee, undersecretary of state for management. So many bureaucratic levels. He\u2019s testifying on Capitol Hill and they\u2019re trying to save Susan Rice. That\u2019s the UN ambassador.<\/p>\n
KENNEDY: We have always made clear we were giving the best information we have at the time and that information has involved (sic). For example, if any administration official, including any career official, were on television on Sunday, September 16th, they would have said what Ambassador Rice said. The information she had at that point from the intelligence community is the same that I had at that point. Clearly, we know more about today than what we did on September after the – Sunday, September, after the attack.<\/p>\n
