The words crafted by the CIA were designed to discredit whoever uttered them. Obama did not follow the script especially by uttering the word terrorist and giving the discredited words to a surrogate. They are equally pissed that Hillary Clinton did not fall for this ruse knocking her out of 2016 by repeating what was nonsense "spontaneous demonstration" and not "an attack planned and executed by organized military".
