A series of internal State Department emails obtained by Fox News shows some some of the initial assessments of last month's deadly consulate attack in Libya, including one email within hours of the attack that noted that the group Ansar al Sharia had claimed responsibility.

Ansar al Sharia has been declared by the State Department to be a an Al Qaeda-affiliated group. A member of the group suspected of participating in the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi has been arrested and is being held in Tunisia.

The emails obtained by Fox News were sent by the State Department to a variety of national security platforms, whose addresses have been redacted, including the White House Situation Room, the Pentagon, the FBI and the Director of National Intelligence.

It is rather nice to see at least that Fox is not letting up on this national blunder carried out by this administration.
I will not place blame on the DOD, CENTCOM, and the CIA on this one.
Their options are not on the table unless the POTUS directs them to move quickly and take care of business.
It has become rather crystal clear over the past few weeks the White House and the Department of State screwed the pooch in a huge way.
Dereliction of duty is the only adjective that seems appropriate.

Amazing! Someone gets it. Good for brilliant Liz. I would like to know where she has been, since she had to walk back the lie she participated in?

I can tell you she & Bill are in Haiti now, with Sean Penn! Bill is sharing romantic stories of their honeymoon there. Sickening. She is a definite run away trying to lean on Bill to salvage her sorry legacy.

This is pretty hot news...will probably run that story off of the front cover...

Did you see the Glenn Beck thread and the Gaffney thread.

This gunrunning may just explode all the way to the MSM.

How can a local Yemen group of Salafist retreads,

that formed up in May 2011 according to the above report dated 5 April 2012 that fails to even mention Brik, the alleged second in command of Ansar Al Sharia
