Did they tell US intelligence?
Would that threat have been included in the Obama intelligence briefs that he was too busy to attend?
If Egypt knew and did nothing, then Egypt is at fault. Even if they notified the U.S. and did nothing else. They are the host country and they are obligated to protect the American Embassy by the U.N. convention.
If the U.S. knew and didn’t take precautions then heads need to roll here and I’d say murder charges are in order.
I’ve asked the same questions. I can’t believe Israeli intelligence didn’t know of these plans. And believing so, would be amazed they didn’t pass it on to American intelligence, even with our deteriorating relationship.
So, let’s say that’s true. What then? Did we take it seriously? If not, why not? If so, why wasn’t the president appraised, even given his hatred for such meetings? And regardless whether he was appraised or not, why wasn’t embassy/consulate staff beefed up or more security provided? Why did we apparently rely on local security personnel instead? So many questions. Obama’s not attending meetings is only the tip of the iceberg on this detestable situation.
Let’s stop all this concern about national security, the rotten economy, our closest allies, massive debt and deficits, crime and greedy unions in Chicago, and similar trivial stuff. Obama has much more important things to be working on.
Excellent question.
What did barry soetoro know and when did he know it?
Didn’t know Israel had embassies in Muslim countries. I would have to get hazardous duty pay for that job.
Funny, I don’t hear any reporters asking Obama: “What did he know? When did he know it?”
I am boiling mad!!! Obama needs to be impeached and jailed. Unfortunately, it would probably take more than the few months he has left!
