Where did they lie about it? It's not a governments job to speculate about possible sources of the attack, it's their job to ascertain it and THEN comment, or better act, on it.
Then the CIA, FBI, NSA are no better than the husband in the following joke:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A man is talking to his best friend about married life. "You know," he
says, "I really trust my wife, and I think she has always been
faithful to me. But there's always that doubt."
His friend says, "Yeah, I know what you mean."
A couple of weeks later the man has to go out of town on business.
Before he goes, he gets together with his friend. "While I'm away,
could you do me a favor? Could you watch my house and see if there is
anything fishy going on? I mean, I trust my wife but there's always
that doubt." The friend agrees to help out, and the man leaves town.
Two weeks later he comes back and meets his friend. "So did anything
happen?"
"I have some bad news for you," says the friend. "The day after you
left I saw a strange car pull up in front of your house. The horn
honked and your wife ran out and got into the car and they drove away.
Later, after dark, the car came back. I saw your wife and a strange
man get out. They went into the house and I saw a light go on, so I
ran over and looked in the window. Your wife was kissing the man. Then
he took off his shirt. Then she took off her blouse. Then they turned
off the light."
"Then what happened?" says the man.
"I don't know. It was too dark to see."
"Damn, you see what I mean? There's always that doubt."

What was Obama reaction to Fort Hood army base shooting where a Muslim shot 13 people, shouting "allahu akbar"
"This morning I met with FBI Director Mueller and the relevant agencies to discuss their ongoing investigation into what caused one individual to turn his gun on fellow servicemen and women," he said. "We don't know all of the answers yet, and I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all of the facts.
Very similar to a pre-planned, organized attack on 9/11/2012, involving RPG and accurate mortar fire:
“Our current best assessment, based on the information that we have at present, is that, in fact, what this began as, it was a spontaneous – not a premeditated "
Do you see the pattern here?
And where is the lie? Obama administration maintained for 2+ weeks that it was a spontaeous reaction to a 6 month old video. It was clear even to my pizza man immediately what it was.
