Clinton: No sign that Stevens believed he was on an al Qaeda hit list
cnn ^ | 9/22/2012 | staff

Posted on 09/22/2012 8:23:52 AM PDT by tobyhill

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday she has "absolutely no information or reason to believe there is any basis" to suggest that U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens believed he was on an al Qaeda hit list.

The remark came after a source familiar with Stevens' thinking told CNN that in the months leading up to his death, Stevens worried about constant security threats in Benghazi and mentioned that his name was on an al Qaeda hit list.

Stevens spoke about a rise in Islamic extremism and al Qaeda's growing presence in Libya, the source said.

The White House, for the first time Thursday, declared the attack that killed Stevens and three other people a terrorist attack.

Wow! Hillary Clinton and Obama just called Stevens an idiot. Every American in the Muslim World is on Al Qaeda's hit list.

So going by Hillary’s record this past week you can be certain her statement reveals the truth that Stevens was most definitely on the Al Queda hit list.

Conflicting stories again with the white hut’s “official” story being another LIE in an effort to deceive the US citizens-—of course, the koolaid drinkers will keep on swilling.

Well, perhaps Miz Clinton wasn’t interested in finding out about information that ran counter to her fantasy about an “Arab Spring.” She preferred to dance with the natives, while her boss preferred to golf and go on Lefty TV venues.

What a disastrous duo we are stuck with because of the most ignorant, gullible voters on the planet!

This is the ambassador in his own words. He was worried about something.

Well, as more information on the ‘ex’ SEALs real mission in Libya leaks out, It is quite possible that THEY were the real target, and Stevens merely a bonus.

Supposedly the ‘ex’ SEALs were there to recover some advanced weapons that 0bama ‘loaned’ the rebels. Perhaps the Al Qaeda types wanted to keep them.

Thanks tobyhill.
...a source familiar with Stevens' thinking told CNN that in the months leading up to his death, Stevens worried about constant security threats in Benghazi and mentioned that his name was on an al Qaeda hit list.
And, the jackholes of the Zero administration denied that the attacks were anything but "protests" against a few minutes of underproduced truth-telling -- until this week, when they finally admitted that they weren't. They are liars. They lie continually. They can't be trusted with a burned-out match.

Of COURSE he had no idea ... he was set up by enough reassuring words from enough people that he said, “Yeah .. sure .. I’ll go into a hotbed of ant-American hate .. what can go wrong”?

Part of the story here is that the ex-seals working to acquire MANPADS. As far as those things being smuggled in to the US they are already here and have been here for years. Don’t be surprised some morning when you wake up and find that dozens of commercial airliners have been shot out of the sky. If they wake up the sleepers and tell them to use them there will be lots of dead. And it will kill the airline industry.

The odds of this happening right now are slim because they have a guy at the top on the inside who is destroying the country while our representatives in Washington sit and do nothing.

Remember the panty bomber....The crud's own father went to the embassy AND met with the CIA....but we said we had nothing. Could it have had something to do with the fact that the father was CHIEF BANKER and richest man in Nigeria.

Hmmmm....Nigeria...Yellow Cake....Joe and Valerie
