The Fog Machine of War

Scott Johnson at Power Line reports on comments made by Secretary of State Hilary Clinton on why the administration blamed a video for the "protests" in Benghazi for over two weeks:

On Rice ‘grew out of a protest’ assertions: “the fog of war. The confusion you get in any type of combat situation. Remember this was an attack that went on for hours…there had to be a lot of sorting out…everyone said here’s what we know subject to change.”

Right, it took time, weeks in fact, to sort it all out.  Right?  Wrong:

Yet the State Department monitored the attack in real time. The attack never appeared to be anything other than a planned terrorist operation. There was no report of a protest. In this case the fog of politics is a helluva lot thicker than the fog of war.

Well, this seems to be getting worse by the day.
