Egypts General Intelligence Service warned that a jihadi group is planning to launch terrorist attacks against the US and Israeli embassies in Cairo, according to a report Tuesday by Egypt Independent, citing a secret letter obtained by Al-Masry Al-Youm.
According to the report, the attack is being planned by Global Jihad, the group suspected of killing 16 Egyptian border guards in Sinai on August 5.
Al-Masry Al-Youm reportedly obtained a copy of the September 4 letter, sent to all Egyptian security sectors, warning that Sinai- and Gaza-based Global Jihad cells were planning attacks on the two embassies.
Egypts military is engaged in an ongoing campaign to root out Sinai-based terrorists.

And what was this crap about not having any 'actionable' intelligence?
Consider this: you're the police chief of a major city and one of your underworld informants tells you that a notorious gang of bank robbers is preparing to knock over a bank in your city.
You ask "which bank?" and they say "don't know".
Now you can decide to either sit on your ass and wait to see which bank gets knocked over (since you don't have any "actionable" intelligence or specifics regarding the precise target of the bank robbers) OR: you increase your police presence in the area of EVERY bank in your city, so you are PREPARED for the eventuality that the bank robbers strike at any one of those banks.
Conclusion?
ALL intelligence is 'actionable', whether it means that you are tipped off to a specific target of terrorists, or a general warning is given which coincides with a symbolic date (9/11), which makes it more than reasonable for you to raise your level of security in order to be prepared across the board.
These rank amateurs know nothing except how to parse words.
And that's why they have the blood of a bunch of dead Americans, including an Ambassador on their hands.

Prolly because the Obama administration would consider it haram to read the Jerusalem Post.

Two things to contemplate:
Barack never imagined that his muslim pals would ever take any action that would make him look bad so he ignored all danger signals.
He has confidence that in the event something harmful to him does take place that his adoring media supporters will bail him out.
He was right in his second assumption - the Obama Media is working 24/7 to protect him and destroy Romney.

Because the JPost is too “right wing” for anyone at the 0bama administration to read.

Statement: The video caused the riots.
If true, then the Libyan President is a lair, since he stated firmly it was well planned and NOT linked to a video.
If false, then Jay Carney et al is (are) a liar(s) since intel predicted most details.
Whether true or false, the most intelligent and biggest consumer of US intel (The One) completely blew it since he was distracted by campaigning/fund-raising, and has had intentional neglect of our security.
And now we have more deaths of Americans, an ambassador having no Marine security, taken from our embassy, sodomized, and his body dragged through the streets. Did the video also prompt the signs that said 'Obama, Obama, we are all Osama'? Did Obama create another infamous 'recruiting tool' by killing al-Qaeda management?

I served as an intelligence analyst in the US Army for eight years in Panama monitoring dissident groups throughout Latin America and Islamic radical groups. How in the world this consulate was not on a heightened state of alert is mind numbing.
In the 4-5 years following Just Cause we always had heightened security and recommended limited civilian travel on important anniversaries, such as Just Cause or the death of General Omar Torrijos. By then violent protests had begun to dissipate but even in the years following we were STILL on heightened alert on those days as you never knew what could happen.
This is just stupid head in the sand stuff.

Some of these ambassadors will be targeted and dead soon. If I were an ambassador, I would evacuate the building of personel, lock the filing cabinets, and tell Washington, we have left the building. And to please send security for door locks and such. I would live a long life.

If the JP published this on 11 sep 12, that wouldn’t have been of much help. When it’s midnight in D.C. it’s 7 a.m. the following day in the Middle-East

So, at 5:00 p.m. Jerusalem time on 9/11, it was 10:00 a.m. in WDC.
That is when JP published!!!
And we’re supposed to believe that U.S. Intel didn’t know about the 4 Sept. warning issued in Egypt?

Obama knew and weighed whether to take appropriate action or ignore in the hopes it would either go away (empty chair decision) or work out to his advantage if it did blow up (MSM has his back decision). He decided it was the easier route to go ahead and sacrifice a few American lives and use their deaths to attack the First Amendment. Every decision he makes has the goal of putting the final nail in the coffin he has placed the Constituion in.

Who in the administration has time to be informed?
They're too busy tweeting, fundraising, campaigning, and checking FaceBook.
