The man credited with writing the Benghazi talking points, Ben Rhodes,  served as Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications under President Barack Obama.

Rhodes was recently interviewed by Mehdi Hasan of The Intercept in an effort to promote his new book The World As It Is: Inside the Obama White House.

Hasan directly asked about the Obama Administration's involvement in arming jihadists in Syria. Rhodes tried to tip toe and dance around the question before making a stunning admission:

MH: Oh, come on, but you were coordinating a lot of their arms. You know, the U.S. was heavily involved in that war with the Saudis and the Qataris and the Turks.
