White House told of militant claim two hours after Libya attack: emails
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.

I had a hunch that Romney knew he needed to only remain cool and collected during the foreign policy debate last night and give Obama enough rope to hang himself. Sure you “did everything you possibly could to save the lives of our embassy staff”, Mr. Obama, SURE you did! The truth WILL come out and all of America and the world will know what a liar and traitor you really are. Can't happen soon enough!

Someone will do the right thing and come out in person soon. They are drip, dripping it to draw out more and play a little rope a dope. Have faith. I know it is hard these days with so many despicable people in government though. I am going to pray tonight for those few patriots left and for the truth to surface.

Someone did...you are correct. Just noone in the leadership. Now the leadership will have to suffer their lack of knowing right from wrong, or their refusal to do what was morally compelling. This is the kind of leadership this country cannot abide.

What they could have had is a platoon from FAST Company. Its their job to augment the MSG’s that work the embassies and assist the State Dept in securing the facilities.

They are trained and equipped to fight, unlike the MSG”s that are there to protect classified material.

If FAST personnel were on the ground and put out a help call, the Marines would have shown up and put a serious hurting on the bad guys. One would think, at least. But with the current clowns in this administration, they probably would have called off the QRF.

Clinton asked the American people who they wanted to answer the phone at 300am. Well, the American people got their answer on Sept 11, 2012. Neither she nor obama would answer the phone. As much as I hate to admit it, she could have been a damn hero if she had had taken decisive action. But, she proved she’s nothing but a coward, just like obama and her husband. Its real easy to make decisions when you’re one of 100 Senators or you can blame s**t on underlings. Different story when you have to take responsibility.

I can hear Obama say he could not tell the American citizens the truth because it would have tipped off the people he was pursuing. Some such crap. And the MSM will run with it. The lies will never end with this crowd.

Here's Greta's recent post at her site:

Greta Van Susteren • a minute ago
the october suprise has been in the making since sept 11.The present addministation sat on the attack saying to each other the damage has been done. Know how do we move forward? First we'll blame it on a video,then we'll have Susan Cutter spin it as a GOP political ploy.The end game is we will have all the information to take out the Al Quida cell with special opps at the appropriate time before the election. Proclaim it as a national security success,and foreign policy success. Pure sham politics! John McCain and Lindsy Graham need toget out in front of this as well as, FOX Journalist and the rest of the media. This should not and cannot become a campaign breaker.

Not sure what she means by that last sentence.

Now we know why Obama got all lathered up about Mitt Romney calling this a failure in foreign policy so early. Obama was right in the middle of his biggest lie yet, and Romney was rocking his boat.

Romney accepts suggestions here: http://www.mittromney.com/forms/suggestions The more folks make the suggestion, the better.

I'm guessing Romney knew during the debate that this news was coming and thus the reason he did not pursue it druing the debate. Always better to have a story like this break the news than from a candidate.

Sarah Palin made a fantastic point. Over 300 people were direct recipients of these e-mails, a great many of these people are very cozy with major media reporters and pundits (social events, media events, media contacts) yet no other MSM network has said a word about this.

Pat Caddell called it. Do you believe it yet?

The Media will not report the truth!

Yes, they showed how the left is going to respond to this. Obfuscate, excuse, downplay, repeat old talking points. All aimed at creating confusion. They're going to look pretty ridiculous doing it when we now have proof on record of all of these offices of gov. receiving real-time, during the attack, confirmation that Al Qaeda was taking credit.

It makes every lie and excuse the 0bama admin has fed us an undeniable bald-faced lie. There was never any question what was happening, who was doing it and there was never any mention of a Youtube video.
