Senate report: Benghazi attackers tied to Al Qaeda groups
Fox News.com ^ | January 15, 2014

Posted on 01/15/2014 4:52:17 PM PST by Kaslin

A comprehensive report by the Senate Intelligence Committee definitively declared that individuals tied to Al Qaeda groups were involved in the Benghazi attack, challenging recent claims that the terror network was not a factor.

The report was released Monday, nearly one year after then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, under congressional questioning over the nature of the attack, shouted at lawmakers: “What difference, at this point, does it make?”

The administration initially claimed the attack sprung out of a protest, but has since given a more complicated assessment. Still, administration officials all along have downplayed Al Qaeda involvement, recently seizing on a New York Times report that supported those claims.

If the GOP had the brains of a typical candidate for student council at a suburban high school, they would make that sentence into Hillary Clinton's campaign slogan.

But they don't. So what's the use talking about it.

Bombshell: Obama Administration Deleted State Dept. Memo From Internet After Discovering Al-Qaeda

Yesterday there were reports that the Obama Administration found out that Al-Qaeda was behind the Benghazi consulate attacks within 24 hours of the assault that killed four Americans.

So what was their first action? Did they secure the compound? – No, that took over a week to get FBI agents to the consulate Did they acknowledge it was an Al-Qaeda attack? No, Obama this week blamed the terror attack on a YouTube protest.

Here’s what they did – They scrubbed a damning State Department memo from the internet– On Wednesday September 12, 2012 blogger Speak With Authority discovered that five days before 9-11, the US State Department sent out a memo announcing no credible security threats against the United States on the anniversary of 9-11.

Source: Slain ambassador Stevens said he was on al Qaeda list

WASHINGTON - In the months leading up to his death, Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, worried about constant security threats in Benghazi and mentioned that his name was on an al Qaeda hit list, a source familiar with his thinking told CNN.

Stevens spoke about a rise in Islamic extremism and al Qaeda's growing presence in Libya, the source said.

When Hillary and Barack diverted the plane bringing the bodies of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith and former U.S. Navy SEALS Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods back to Dover AFB for a media event, she looked their parents in the eye, held their hand and lied about the attack being caused by a YouTube video.

...and there are people wanting her to be president of this [once proud] nation.

What was their first clue?

The sad part is, Americans are tired of the WOT and want to be left alone to collect their free abortions, free birth control, EBT goodies, free cell phones, and anything else the government will buy their votes with.

Our troops are among the finest we've ever produced, but unlike their WWII counterparts were betrayed by the home front that was more concerned about getting their freebies than finishing off some group who attacked us 13 years ago while Bush was President.

I hate to say it, but this generation couldn't have won WWII.

I wonder if the NYT story was intended to preempt this report. A Dem senator probably tipped them off that the report would place blame on Madame Hillary's State Dept.

BTW...I thought the NYT story was intended to be the first in a series of six about Benghazi. Haven't seen hide nor hair of any more of them since the first one got blasted by the slain families, the CIA who were on the ground in Libya, and conservative media.

Indeed! Here on FR we knew all of these “revelations” from the Sen. Intelligence Committee Report within three weeks of the attack. And we knew 0bama was a criminal long before that.

It is outrageous what happened to the US citizens at Benghazi. The way the Marxists treated the 1st Amendment is far worse.

The thought that this evil witch Hillary Clinton is still the front runner for the nomination as president of the democrat party—after the worst performance by any secretary of state in the history of the USA, and after her overall history (senator, first lady, Nixon impeachment lawyer, etc etc etc)—is just unworldly and beyond precedent.

Have I mentioned here how much I hate the GD Clintons?
