Libya's Ambassador to Washington Ali Aujali said Wednesday that associates of disposed tyrant Muammar al-Qaddafi were behind the Tuesday attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that resulted in the deaths of four American officials, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.

"We know that Qaddafi's associates are in Libya. Of course, they took this chance to infiltrate among the people," Aujali said in today in an interview. His claim contradicts most reports, which place the blame on radical Islamist groups that claimed to be reacting to an obscure American film they viewed as insulting to Islam.

Sounds like Libya has addopted O'Barry's Blame Bush Doctrine, only it is "Blame Qaddafi"

Let’s see what he says after a nice waterboarding session.

[GeorgeWashingtonsGhost]

Indeed. Wouldn’t want the world to think that 0bama’s ILLEGAL AND UNAPPROVED WAR IN LIBYA only made things worse.

[alloysteel]

Yeah, right, it was all Qaddafi’s Fault.

Not an insignificant coincidence.

[Timber Rattler]

Yeah right...Qaddafi's dead-enders decided to storm the embassy and hoist the black flag of jihad?

Call me skeptical.

[EagleUSA]

Everybody is wrong....this was a set up by the TEA PARTY!!!

[Paladin2]

Yabut, are they adherents of MuHAMmad?

[blueunicorn6]

Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! Hillary has got to go!

[swpa_mom]

Wait! Obama, the libs and their media allies are all blaming some youtube movie.......Which is it?

Ah, not to worry, Obama’s on his way to Las Vegas now.

What an unmitigated disaster.

"Ali, maybe you thought you could fool a Democrat with that `Good cop/bad cop' stuff, a neo-con, sure, or even a Republican ... but you can't fool Free Republic." Everything I need to know about islam I learned on 9/11/2001

A DUmmy has already blamed Bush....no kidding!

He’s the reason they hate us, after all.

Let’s see what he says after a nice waterboarding session.

I wonder what he will say after Obama gives him warm chocolate chip cookies and milk.

[MaxMax]

Juan Williams was blaming Bush yesterday on Hannity.
Send Hannity a notice that his honeymoon with Juan needs to end.

[virgil]

I don’t believe a word of it.
