No. It would be like the US President admitting we had a CIA office with a connection to a diplomatic mission. We don't comment in intelligence matters.
I could care less if we were arming the Libyan rebels or not. It's irrelevant to this conversion, and it's irrelevant constant Republican attacks trying to make this into something it's not by claiming the White House didn't "properly defend the consulate" or "didn't react quick enough".
Here's what I think happened... It's pretty obvious that the United States was giving the Lybian Rebels all kinds of support, everything from intelligence to training to finances to directly arming them. Nothing illegal about it, it might have been signed off by the president, and it must have been signed off members of both parties in Congress. The Republican members who signed off on this can't come out and embarrass the President by exposing our activities in Libya. The Republicans can't come out and expose our operations because (a) they signed off on it and (b) it's freaking illegal for Congressmen to disclose secret intelligence operations.
Instead, they just want to keep harping on the issue until it does come out. This is all about the Republicans trying to embarrass the President over sensitive intelligence operation. This is what the Republican does when they loose - they try to embarrass the President.
It's just like that shit with Clinton - They put the President of the United States under oath and then forced him to answer questions that nothing to with anything... It was nothing more than an attempt to embarrass the President. It did, it embarrassed the United States and made us look like fucking idiots.
This is what our government has become - just attack the other side and embarrass them at all costs. And fuck the American people at the same time.
