Lt. Colonel Tony Shaffer Debunks New York Times Narrative on Benghazi

Morris Why is the ░░░░░░░░ they have been since ░░░░░░░░ very beginning on not ░░░░░░░░ this conflict but others ░░░░░░░░ well why are they ░░░░░░░░ against calling saying that ░░░░░░░░ Qaeda was involved in ░░░░░░░░ or even other attacks ░░░░░░░░ it bend with their ░░░░░░░░ SHAFFER Well two primary ░░░░░░░░ First off is the ░░░░░░░░ doesn t fit At ░░░░░░░░ time if you recall ░░░░░░░░ when they were going ░░░░░░░░ this during the election ░░░░░░░░ they were saying al ░░░░░░░░ is on the run ░░░░░░░░ if al Qaeda is ░░░░░░░░ to launch a concerted ░░░░░░░░ planned attack at the ░░░░░░░░ time they re saying ░░░░░░░░ re on the run ░░░░░░░░ destroys the narrative Secondly ░░░░░░░░ calls attention to the ░░░░░░░░ broader flawed policy Let ░░░░░░░░ remember that President Obama ░░░░░░░░ did Hillary Clinton both ░░░░░░░░ that the Libyan conflict ░░░░░░░░ be quick and kinetic ░░░░░░░░ I was right here ░░░░░░░░ the network saying no ░░░░░░░░ won t be back ░░░░░░░░ it first happened Many ░░░░░░░░ us predicted the chaos ░░░░░░░░ see now will be ░░░░░░░░ happened and that s ░░░░░░░░ thing they don t ░░░░░░░░ to draw attention to ░░░░░░░░ and I think most ░░░░░░░░ now the instability there ░░░░░░░░ become a source for ░░░░░░░░ radical groups to get ░░░░░░░░ For example the Muslim ░░░░░░░░ is now involved in ░░░░░░░░ stirring up trouble there ░░░░░░░░ By the way the ░░░░░░░░ Brotherhood my organization the ░░░░░░░░ Center for Policy Research ░░░░░░░░ going to be working ░░░░░░░░ get Congress to declare ░░░░░░░░ Brotherhood a terrorist organization ░░░░░░░░ Egypt just did This ░░░░░░░░ why they don t ░░░░░░░░ to talk about this ░░░░░░░░ region is inherently more ░░░░░░░░ now than it ever ░░░░░░░░ been before Morris We ░░░░░░░░ from President Obama the ░░░░░░░░ for going into Libya ░░░░░░░░ the first place to ░░░░░░░░ Gaddafi was liberate the ░░░░░░░░ people Has that happened ░░░░░░░░ No it did not ░░░░░░░░ I think that s ░░░░░░░░ of the most festering ░░░░░░░░ out there by the ░░░░░░░░ that again as I ░░░░░░░░ mentioned it s become ░░░░░░░░ radical hot bed Tripoli ░░░░░░░░ now effectively controlled by ░░░░░░░░ Qaeda and Islamic INDECIPHERABLE ░░░░░░░░ an al Qaeda organization ░░░░░░░░ have the Muslim Brotherhood ░░░░░░░░ with al Shariah in ░░░░░░░░ and you have essentially ░░░░░░░░ a partition country where ░░░░░░░░ don t have an ░░░░░░░░ central government so the ░░░░░░░░ of Libya are now ░░░░░░░░ a nightmare and one ░░░░░░░░ the other facts here ░░░░░░░░ that in the past ░░░░░░░░ had other foreign countries ░░░░░░░░ foreigners coming in to ░░░░░░░░ Libya run their economy ░░░░░░░░ won t go back ░░░░░░░░ of the instability and ░░░░░░░░ ve seen the end ░░░░░░░░ of our ambassador being ░░░░░░░░ three other people being ░░░░░░░░ attacked You know on ░░░░░░░░ 9 11 attack during ░░░░░░░░ time it s just ░░░░░░░░ a good situation Morris ░░░░░░░░ York Times standing by ░░░░░░░░ report in all of ░░░░░░░░ even though congressional testimony ░░░░░░░░ a number of leaders ░░░░░░░░ come forward and said ░░░░░░░░ is an absolutely bogus ░░░░░░░░ One of the things ░░░░░░░░ that stands out to ░░░░░░░░ as a sore thumb ░░░░░░░░ these six chapters they ░░░░░░░░ on their website no ░░░░░░░░ of Hillary Clinton SHAFFER ░░░░░░░░ And this is interesting ░░░░░░░░ to me by the ░░░░░░░░ that Gregory Hicks testified ░░░░░░░░ oath he s one ░░░░░░░░ the whistleblowers that came ░░░░░░░░ and said he was ░░░░░░░░ to Hillary Clinton the ░░░░░░░░ of the attack and ░░░░░░░░ that phone call according ░░░░░░░░ his testimony she asked ░░░░░░░░ what do you want ░░░░░░░░ to do And his ░░░░░░░░ was pretty easy to ░░░░░░░░ It s like send ░░░░░░░░ We re under attack ░░░░░░░░ this also raises the ░░░░░░░░ head Clayton of where ░░░░░░░░ that whole video narrative ░░░░░░░░ from It was clear ░░░░░░░░ the testimony that no ░░░░░░░░ ever claimed a video ░░░░░░░░ any sort of protests ░░░░░░░░ ongoing at the time ░░░░░░░░ the attack So where ░░░░░░░░ that all come from ░░░░░░░░ The New York Times ░░░░░░░░ once again raises that ░░░░░░░░ like where did that ░░░░░░░░ from Who put it ░░░░░░░░ the narrative and why ░░░░░░░░ t anybody talked about ░░░░░░░░ Morris Yeah that s ░░░░░░░░ great point because we ░░░░░░░░ in Gregory Hicks testimony ░░░░░░░░ course in front of ░░░░░░░░ saying that his jaw ░░░░░░░░ when he heard Susan ░░░░░░░░ on the Sunday morning ░░░░░░░░ shows SHAFFER Right And ░░░░░░░░ think that s the ░░░░░░░░ Again witness testimony intelligence ░░░░░░░░ other alternative reporting from ░░░░░░░░ networks such as FOX ░░░░░░░░ others have all come ░░░░░░░░ the same basic conclusion ░░░░░░░░ Qaeda was behind the ░░░░░░░░ This was a planned ░░░░░░░░ And so for The ░░░░░░░░ York Times to raise ░░░░░░░░ and do it in ░░░░░░░░ a way that they ░░░░░░░░ actually doubling down on ░░░░░░░░ if you will it ░░░░░░░░ t make any sense ░░░░░░░░ this point in time ░░░░░░░░ again the narrative is ░░░░░░░░ it s been factually ░░░░░░░░ by everybody and now ░░░░░░░░ re trying to change ░░░░░░░░ And I think that ░░░░░░░░ despite the fact they ░░░░░░░░ trying to say it ░░░░░░░░ not political I think ░░░░░░░░ is evidently political by ░░░░░░░░ fact that everybody else ░░░░░░░░ come to separate I ░░░░░░░░ logic-based conclusion.”
