Full Title:

They DID know: Now White House admits they knew 'within 24 hours' that Al Qaeda was behind Libya attacks despite confusing public statements

• U.S. Government privately labelled attack on U.S. Consulate a terrorist act almost immediately and knew CIA was chasing specific suspect
  
• White House claimed for a week that assault was staged by crazed protestors reacting to anti-Islam film
• Finally admitted act was a 'terrorist' strike last week
  
• Hillary Clinton yesterday said she believed the attack linked to al Qaeda
• Libyan president Mohamed Magarief said that attacks were 'pre-planned'
• FBI being denied access to crime scene in Benghazi
  
• U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens was killed along with fellow Americans Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty

The Obama administration has confirmed that it knew within 24 hours that U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens had been killed in a pre-planned terrorist attack and not by crazed protestors enraged by an anti-Islam film.

The White House claimed for a week that the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was 'spontaneous' and sparked by the controversial movie, before finally admitting that the 9/11 anniversary attack was orchestrated by terrorists.

But senior U.S. officials have now confessed the government privately labelled the attack a terrorist act almost immediately after it happened, and even knew that the perpetrators had links to al Qaeda.

Two unnamed officials told Fox News that the administration internally flagged the strike 'terrorism' from day one, setting off the proper protocols and mobilising resources.

The government had also been informed by September 12 that U.S. intelligence agencies were hunting on specific suspect - militant Ansar al-Shariah and al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, who were likely responsible for the deadly attack.

The Obama administration has confirmed that it knew within 24 hours that U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens had been killed in a pre-planned terrorist attack - and *not* by crazed protestors enraged by an anti-Islam film.

The White House claimed for a week that the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was ‘spontaneous’ and sparked by the controversial movie, before finally admitting that the 9/11 anniversary attack was orchestrated by terrorists.

But senior U.S. officials have now confessed the government privately labelled the attack a terrorist act almost immediately after it happened, and even knew that the perpetrators had links to al Qaeda.

[”Rice’s statement was that she was NOT told by the Obama CAMPAIGN to go out and lie to the media. - If she was told by Obama personally, or by Valerie Jarrett, that isn’t exactly the CAMPAIGN.”]

[”Hillary only claimed responsibility for the State Department, - then went on to tell the interviewer that the decisions are made by “security professionals” - so while the media claims she took “the blame”, - in fact she didn’t.”]

it's the Muslim brotherhood version of fast and furious

it can't be coincidence or incompetence that Obama is always arming the wrong side

The Real Reason for the Ambassador's Murder and the Obama/DNC Coverup

al Qaeda, Boko Harem, pirates from Somalia, AQIM, al Shabaab, AQAP,
and Ansar al Sharia were (conveniently) provided
15,000 MANPADS by Obama and the DNC
For plausible deniability, Operation 'Wind Zero',
using Sean Smith and the two retired SEALS,
executed by the company and State Department
tracked this "loss" (planned transfer to al Qaeda
from Obama's American Caliphate) and
produced a 'kill list’ for drone strikes.

This was apparently not approved by Al Qaeda in Libya's ringleader,
Abu Sufian Ibrahim Ahmed Hamuda bin Qumu,
who was employed by Hillary Clinton and
Obama-the-Undocumented, and
was released from Gitmo to Qaddafi in 2007.
The SECOND 911 Atrocity was Hussein Obama's October Surprise
which got a little out of hand.

Great post, including the cartoon. Says it all.

Obama to Romney: ‘Now that we have admitted we were lying, you just shut up your harping for political purposes.’

Please up that figure to 'two weeks.' ;-)

Desertion!

For weeks now I have thought that the denial of requests for security were a dereliction of duty. I consider the lies and misdirection about the "video" after the attack to be fraud and malfeasance under the color of authority. I don't consider the inaction during the attack to be any of those.

IMO the failure to act during the attack is the direct equivalent of desertion.

ONE MAN had the authority to act that night.

ONE MAN deserted his post!

SURPRISE!

It gets worse- they apparently had a drone watching the final hours of the attack, and did next to nothing about it:

“...CBS News has been told that, hours after the attack began, an unmanned Predator drone was sent over the U.S. mission in Benghazi, and that the drone and other reconnaissance aircraft apparently observed the final hours of the protracted battle.”

The LA Slimes is making a last ditch effort to give Obama some cover prior to the last debate. Despicable “journalists” who are no longer reporting but instead madly searching for (or creating) Democrat talking points.
