Chris Wallace Grills Robert Gibbs Over Obama Admin.'s Insistence That Libya Attack Was Spontaneous

» 33 comments

Following Obama administration officials repeated insistence that the 9/11/12 attacks in Libya which resulted in the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens were spontaneous, numerous reports suggest that the attacks were pre-planned. Former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs appeared on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace where he insisted that members of President Barack Obama's administration did not intentionally mislead anyone when they insisted that the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi was spontaneous.

Wallace asked Gibbs about the numerous contradictions to official White House accounts that the attacks in Libya were the result of spontaneous protests arising from an anti-Islamic trailer on YouTube.

Wallace pressed Gibbs, saying that last week he asked U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice to respond to suggestions by Libyan officials that he events connected with the attack were pre-planned and not spontaneous. At the time, Rice insisted that the attack was an outgrowth of protests across the Muslim world directed at the offensive video.

'You look back at that answer and she says ' the information ' the answer, based on what she knew at that point,' said Gibbs. 'We've learned more and we're going to continue to learn more.'

'No one intentionally or unintentionally misled anyone involved in this,' said Gibbs.' 'We learned more information every single day about what happened. Nobody wants to get to the bottom of this faster than we do.'

• Obama knows this already..but' it MUST be the movie .. we can begin the taking of the first admendment!! Blame Americans for the violence.. not the idiots that do violence..

  Surely Muslims don't hate us because we carpet bomb, invade their lands and try to put our puppets into power under our control while handing over billions in taxpayer money'
  it must have been that dang little Movie!! I know they trust me to bring them the world.

  intelligence and Obama admin just don't seem to go hand in hand..and Americans overseas suffer from it.. as do those here at home' it's all Dubya's fault..I need 4 more years.. I just didn't understand the debt of the deficit.. nor the hatred the muslims have towards us, and rightfully so.. give me more money to burn.. I will solve it.. more please more'anyone for a round of golf?

• Maybe a 'grilling' like this would hold water if Fox had held Bush to the same 'zero tolerance for error' standard that they hold Obama to '

• Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush.

• Fox is like having an enemy government in our midst, they don't care about what's best for citizens, they have their own mission and they really don't care if they harm America to achieve it. Fox News would rather take down the American president than tell the truth, what does that say?

• HMMM. Ambassador Rice said the situation was fluid and they would learn more as the investigation developed. This is not a difficult concept to understand.

• At least YOU remember Bush and the catastrophe that his regime was for this country. Fox News doesn't seem to be able to remember his name at all.

• Fair questions. And Gibbs answered them. If you don't learn more details in the near-term after a surprise attack, then you're spending all of the time spinning and not investigating.

• It is a difficult situation for those on the right to understand. I EVEN HEARD ONE SAY THAT BUSH HAD KEPT US SAFE. 4 dead is too many dead Americans but how quickly all the wing-nuts have forgotten 12 terrorist attacks under Bush including 9/11. It seems they are more angry that America has not had more attacks against us than the fact that Obama has kept us safe.

• Go ahead Bob.
  Lie right trough your teeth into our faces one more time.
  Nobody will notice.

• The better exchange was where Gibbs started the 'Romney has has more recent debate experience' line apparently greasing the skids for a less than stellar performance, without his prompter, of the President. Everyone know the 'ummm's , and uhhh's, are going to be counted and played back. How long before just having the debates is 'racist' in and of itself?

• That 'it was the video' crap had to come directly from Obama.

  No one with any sense would try to put that over.

  Now Gibbs, Carney, Rice and Hillary all have cous cous on their faces.

  Even Little Debbie refused to go out and say that nonsense, as she did not want to damage her credibility.

• Tough questions are fair play unless it's only done for one side of the aisle. Chris Wallace is one of the better anchors on Fox who asks probing questions of the subject regardless. Gibbs did a credible job of answering the questions. Obviously, the situation was and still is fluid as more information becomes available.

• 'Fox News would rather take down the American president than tell the truth, what does that say?'

  Actually'nothing'.It only 'says something' if it's true in the first place. This was Chris Wallace's show'hardly an anti-Obama reporter.

• If Obama still has it in his head that it was the video, (since he is deluded enough to think he can do no wrong) he needs to stop the Killing bin Laden movie because of the worldwide bloodshed this will bring about.

  When are the craziest Muslims not outraged?

• 'Obviously, the situation was and still is fluid as more information becomes available.'

  That's my point, all this happened a week ago and they are already attacking the president and trying to pit some sort of blame on him.

• This was a pretty good article on a pretty good video of some pretty good probing questions by a pretty good newsman. It's a shame you neither read the article nor watched the video but instead commented on whatever popped up in your little head, Hoo JardOWNed.

• How do these lying scumbags sleep at night. We have a dead ambassador and navy SEALS and the Preezy is on the View, Letterman, J-Z/Beyonce Partays! Let's rid our country of this the Marxist cancer.

• Obama has been the president for 4 years dumbass!

• If you tell a big enough lie often enough the public will be foolish enough to believe it true. That's been the MO of this administration from the beginning and will remain so. That most of our media is complicit in helping to spread the lies is disgusting.

• Interesting that the intellgence agency under Pres Obama are slower to get information and come to a conclusion than newspapers.

• Why do intelligent people continue to give Fake News anchors the time of day?

  And, more importantly, why does Mediaite insist on talking about fake news hacks?

• And he's STILL cleaning up the crap that Bush and the GOP left him, while the Republicons in Congress continue to try and stomp their feet and act like spoiled brats.

• The attacks were not planned. They just happened to happen on 9/11. Okay.

• I'm pleased that somebody informed you of ONE fact that you were able to retain somehow. I was responding to HopeyDopey's comment, if that's okay with you. The next time you'd like to butt in and dazzle us with your vast knowledge base, say 'Excuse me' first and someone might address you. There's lots of irony in your calling anyone else a dumbass. Look up the word and give it a little thought. Even YOU might get it.

• 'When are the craziest Christians not outraged?'

  Fixed that for you.

• We should never question the government, at least not when the guy we like is in power. Got it.

• Please don't vote because you seem to suffer from 'Fox News-itis'.

• It's funny, you guys always make the assumption Obama is inept' and then he beats you/proves you wrong every time. Can't teach an old dog new tricks I guess.

• Chris Wallace is a typical corporate media hack.

  I'm sure next week he'll have on Palin or Romney to talk about how wonderful things were back between 2001 and 2008 while giving him a back rub.

• Chris Wallace is a joke.

• We should always question people in power but not blindly because they are our idealogical opponents. Mitt Romney made the same mistake of opening his mouth about the Middle East and attacking Obama, apparently you guys learn nothing.

• Good point. Although if a newspaper gets it wrong, they print a correction or retraction on page 32-F instead of appearing constantly in the press being grilled about a fluid situation. If an intelligence agency doesn't put out all of the details that they have on-hand at a particular moment, or even chooses to use counter-intel to smoke out other sources, that's a tactical decision, not negligence or ineptness. Unfortunately, our ability to learn all of the facts immediately is often in conflict with those doing their jobs on matters of national security.

• THE DEMOCRAT OATH IS: WE LIE, WE DENY WE ALIBI AND WE ALL SWEAR TO IT.
