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.

Gimme some bonifides on your written post. When did the General testify at the Congressional hearings, and what did he say? Point to me where he said anything about the Big YouTube Lie....

He hasn’t said one damned word about it, and I call it cowardice, but in his mind he is following his oath of office. Please re-read my last post.

The General testified to Congress a few days after 9/11/12. I’m not sure of the exact date. His emphasis was on the YouTube video. Google it. You should find what you are looking for.

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!

Tiger - do you have a theory why the Obama Administration is blocking the FBI from going to Benghazi to investigate what happened? They're saying it's too dangerous - but every news outlet from CNN to ABC is there...

No, not really. Fox News was there too to make Baier’s special report on it. Walking all around inside. BTW he said he’s putting together an all new hour for this weekend.

"But Obama got word of a 6-hour attack, went to sleep, went on DJ Pimp with a Limp’s radio show, then went to Vegas."

He left them to die. Words fail.

Murdered and anally raped...they didn't just die. Death after fighting for seven hours. And there was backup available - within hours - all over the place - NO ONE gave the word. What were they thinking. Did Obama have a way these deaths would help with his election?

I've seen a number of theories as to why help was not ordered sent. Most prominent/logical to my mind are:

1. Dude feared a Carteresque Eagle Claw Moment right before the election and wouldn't give the authorization for cover and/or an extraction team because he was afraid of the "optics" of a failed mission.

2. Dude hoped Stevens would (or arranged for him) to be kidnapped, so as to either play the hero later, or barter the release of the Blind Sheik for Stevens'.

3. There has been some epically diabolical stuff going down and Stevens was in the middle of it, and things either went horribly wrong, or Stevens was silenced.

4. Jarrett said "no." (Why not? She did it on Bin Laden three times!)

I'll say it: T.R.E.A.S.O.N.

This is the kind of leadership this country cannot abide.

Actually, right now we have no leadership. The emperor is stark raving naked.
