House Intelligence chair: Benghazi attack 'Al Qaeda-led event'
Fox News ^ | December 29, 2013 | Catherine Herridge

The 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya was an "Al Qaeda-led event" according to multiple on-the-record interviews with the head of the House Intelligence Committee who receives regular classified briefings and has access to the raw intelligence to make independent assessments.

"I will tell you this, by witness testimony and a year and a half of interviewing everyone that was in the ground by the way, either by an FBI investigator or the committee: It was very clear to the individuals on the ground that this was an Al Qaeda-led event. And they had pretty fairly descriptive events early on that lead those folks on the ground, doing the fighting, to the conclusion that this was a pre-planned, organized terrorist event," Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., told Fox News in a November interview.

"Not a video, that whole part was debunked time and time again," Rogers added of the attack which killed Ambassador Chris Stevens, Foreign Service officer Sean Smith and former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, "which just leads to questions of why the administration hung with that narrative for so long when all the folks who participated on the ground saw something different."

Hillary has big bucks to purchase political ads. They are counting political ad money before it is hatched! Lots of people need their hands greased.

I see the NYTimes, the gospel of Liberals & Democrats, is attempting to cover up the incompetence of Hillary Clinton & Barack Obama and their 'Stand Down' response to sending help to Benghazi. ...repeating the debunked, "It Was The Video" lie!

This NYTimes BS is written for one purpose, Hillary's run in 2016.

“Dig deeper. Who is behind the reports? What is their agenda?”

What’s their agenda?

I’m going to go out on a limb and say this is part of the preparation for another terrorist attack, after which there is going to be another version of the “spontaneous” lie to explain the timing of the attack and the particular set of circumstances that will take place before the attack.

Maybe it was AlQaeda led but for sure it was Hillary Clinton caused.

If the press says it was a stupid video, then it was a stupid video and Hillary is cleared for the white house. That’s how it works when retards can vote.

Didn’t they raise the al Queda flag after killing everyone in the embassy?

I agree with the Slimes: the biggest problem in America in 2013 is free speech/free expression.

We need an office of censorship.

I understand that even without all the digging. I just hate to see this spew from the NYT promulgated in the process. It supports the theory that a law oft repeated becomes the truth.

Sorry Rodgers. You have yet to have the 40 or so rescued State Dept. individuals testify before Congress so your protestations fall on deaf ears. In many of the Repukelicans tactics, the most disgusting one is opening hearings that NEVER reveal the TRUTH but just enough facts to embarrass but never declare this administration guilty. Repeat after me: KA-BU-KI, KA-BU-KI. They are all lawyers. The one thing you NEVER want in court is the truth. It will hurt the case every time. That’s why the lawyers are on the same sub-scum level as politicians.

No Congressmen doing the investigation will ever ask where BO was during the attack and who gave the stand down order. What do they know and what are they afraid of.
