CBS' Lara Logan Slams Obama Admin For Pushing "Major Lie" That Taliban Is Weakened

CBS News and "60 Minutes" reporter Lara Logan lambasted the Obama administration for pushing the "major lie" that the Taliban has been weakened in Afghanistan by the U.S. military.

Logan gave a blistering speech in Chicago this past week that ripped the administration for the way it has handled the war in Afghanistan and the attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya.

"I chose this subject because, one, I can't stand that there is a major lie being propagated," Logan said about the administration touting the weakening of the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Speaking about Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya who was killed, Logan says she hopes the U.S. will "exact revenge and let the world know that the United States will not be attacked on its own soil. That its ambassadors will not be murdered, and that the United States will not stand by and do nothing about it."

Yesterday, the Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/john-brennan-top-us-counterterrorism-adviser-to-visit-libya/2012/10/08/f06dcb0c-1152-11e2-be82-c3411b7680a9_story.html) cast a critical eye over the prospect of using Libyan courts to locate and prosecute Stevens’ killers, and was not encouraged… but there are also fears that American drone strikes would destabilize the fragile government. It was so much easier to just blame everything on a YouTube video.

Kathianne. Thank you for not being afraid to post that video. I salute you for being the kind of person I'd like to think I AM as well.

As we heard from Ms. Logan. Intimidation, Lies, and Misdirection, or the claims of classified information....combined. Are now, all reasons why YOU and I actually have reasons to be Somewhat Fearful of WHO might be watching, or listening to us as we present the truth.

I do know from personal experience. This kind of unspoken fear is also one of the reasons, I honestly Fear placing any kind of Political signs around my home. Fearing my home, and family might become targets of those who CLAIM to be tolerant...as long as WE agree with them, and never say anything negative about Obama.

I do wonder how many Americans feel as I do. Even as a 30 year Veteran of our Navy, who only wanted to have a NORMAL life when I retired from active duty. Then I learned....Trust is rare, and Betrayal...could threaten everything I thought I was dedicating my life to avoid.

I was watching The Five on Fox News as Bob Beckel dismissed her specch due to sexual assualt in Egypt.

Now what that has to do with anything she was talking about. Libs will do anything to avoid talking about the failures of Obama

And this was regular everyday scumbags in Egypt, can you imagine them after years of the Muslim Brotherhood screwing up their country? Even the Egyptians don't want to acknowledge the mass sexual abuse of Lara, likely because there is already mass abuse of women in their country and they don't see much of a problem with it. I'm not searching it again - but about 80% of women in Egypt admit to having been abused and 51% of men even admit to abusing their women. Simply do a search here on the board and find the multiple and credible links on the subject, from the state department, Red Cross and other legit organizations.

Thank you for the kind words. I like the fact that Logan attacked the messages from the administration, without being divisive about the head of the administration.

I believe in explaining WHY something is wrong, sometimes dangerously wrong. I think that's true of this administration. However, I don't believe in calling for impeachment, screaming 'liar', etc., when not considering how that will stop others from listening. If all I've read and heard regarding the embassy in Libya stand, there actually may be cause for investigation of WH and dereliction of duty. Time will settle that.

I look at how I frame my arguments, posts, I want folks to understand why I believe what I do or agree with certain journalists or op-ed writers. I'm not out to trash those that we can perhaps have join us.
