Ok, they're ALL Al-Qaeda, it's just a different name. Al Qaeda means “The Base”.

Ya know, I find the LA Times laughable on this one. Surveillance footage clearly shows people carrying heavy machine guns and RPGs around the embassy. That’s not a spontaneous riot, unless someone has a lamp and a genie to simply wish RPGs and machine guns into existence. If it were a simple riot, you would expect more crude devices like crowbars, glass bottle throwing, or perhaps pieces of wood, but not sophisticated weapons, in other words, obviously planned, and an epic fail on the part of the LA Times.

The LAT has the credibility of Bill Clinton’s finger pointing.

Just another case of “workplace violence” like at Ft. Hood.

There is no evidence...

That quote is damning to the LAT even before reading the rest of it.

And who’s surprised...it IS the LAT!

Listen, everyone carries around 50-cal machine guns, claymores, RPGs, grenade launchers, flame-throwers, and sub-machine guns. They tote them in their pick-ups and SUVs. So, this group might have been peace-loving guys...who had a few beers....dragged out their weapons, and just did some stupid things. That’s all.

It has always been reported as an “al Qaeda affiliated group”, never al Qaeda itself.

Next he’ll blame it on a roving band of Mormons.

On September 10, al Qaeda’s leader, Ayman al Zawahiri, released a video that served as a global call to arms to al Qaeda members to exact revenge for the death of Abu Yahya al Libi, one of al Qaeda’s top officials.

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2012/10/03/Al-Qaeda-Behind-At-Least-Four-Coordinated-Attacks-On-U-S-Embassies-In-September

Yep, the LA Slimes has some crack reporters working for them. Al Qaeda and the date Sept 11th were totally unrelated to what happened in Benghazi.

For that matter, how about this video which was put out by Al Qaeda showing Al Zawahri and the June 6th bombing of the consulate in Benghazi. I suppose the newspaper would say that is just a coincidence too?

As Syria War Roils, Unrest among sects hits Turkey
New York Times, August 4, 2012 Jeffrey Gettleman
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/05/world/middleeast/turkish-alawites-fear-spillover-of-violence-from-syria.html

These are my notes from the above article

The Alevis and Alawites don’t follow some Islamic traditions and in Turkey they are a persecuted minority.
Syria’s government troops are predominately Alawites while the majority of Syria is Sunni.
The Alevis are mostly ethnic Turks between 15 or 20 million strong.
The Alawites in Turkey is less than a million.
Turkey’s government and most Sunnis support Syrian rebels.
The Alevis and Alawites support Bashar al-Assad of Syria.
Turkey is becoming more Sunni influenced and has teamed up with Saudi Arabia and Qatar, both Sunni, to oust Assad.
Assad has made Syria one of the most secular countries in the Middle East.
In Eastern Turkey, the Alawite women sport tank tops and tight jeans.
The Muslim Brotherhood is Sunni.

Not sure it matters whether it was AQ or not. Pretty much all muslims seem to belong to one terrorist group or another and the names are meaningless.

It goes a long way to prove that Obama’s focusing on AQ like a Laser is a flawed strategy. The enemy is radical Islam.
