reuters ^

Posted on 10/23/2012 6:40:05 PM PDT by Perdogg

Officials at the White House and State Department were advised two hours after attackers assaulted the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11 that an Islamic militant group had claimed credit for the attack, official emails show.

The emails, obtained by Reuters from government sources not connected with U.S. spy agencies or the State Department and who requested anonymity, specifically mention that the Libyan group called Ansar al-Sharia had asserted responsibility for the attacks.

Must have pained al-Reuters deeply to have published this.

This needs to be a TV ad tomorrow. A PAC should do it. It should include the words, “Lie” and “Trust” along with the quote from Obama saying we need to trust him. Romney needs to sit back and look Presidential, hence a PAC should eviscerate Hussein.

Video of Zero blaming the video. While he is talking, the Reuters claim on screen. Small sub screen (no Sound) Clinton wagging his finger with voice over “Do you Trust him?”

Romney accepts suggestions here:

The more folks make the suggestion, the better.

I'm not trying to be a Gloomy Gus here, but I hate sources like this:

"The emails, obtained by Reuters from government sources not connected with U.S. spy agencies or the State Department and who requested anonymity,..."

Petraeus has turned out to be the worst Director of Central Intelligence in history. He should have rejected that Axelrod/Jarrett /YouTube story the minute he heard it.

He didn’t and now the CIA gets to live with the disgrace that comes with being a laughingstock within the Intelligence Community.

“US DIPLOMATIC MISSION IN BENGHAZI UNDER ATTACK”

You mean, it didn’t read “BENGHAZI KNITTING CLUB HOSTS MIXER”?

I want to hear from the military whether or not there was any, and I mean any, support they could have had at Benghazi in time.

I don’t trust Obama or Biden or Hillary or Seymour. I want to hear from the heads of the Navy and Air Force.

0bama was notified immediately and automatically when the Benghazi consulate triggered the "Critical Incident Report" alert. He did nothing.

They confirm everything Col. Hunt said about automatic notifications to the WH and add more details.

There are three scandals here...

---------------------------------------------------------

For weeks now I have thought that the denial of requests for security were a dereliction of duty. I consider the lies and misdirection about the "video" after the attack to be fraud and malfeasance under the color of authority. I don't consider the inaction during the attack to be any of those.

The failure to act during the attack is the direct equivalent of desertion IMO.

ONE man had the authority to act that night.

ONE man deserted his post!

The phone rings at 3am at the White House, who is going to take that call? The pres went back to bed while the siege continued. He probable slept like a baby.

Do you think this might be connected with the “Huge announcement” Trump has claimed he will make on Wednesday?
