Officials at the White House and State Department were advised two hours after attackers assaulted the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11 that an Islamic militant group had claimed credit for the attack, official emails show.
The emails, obtained by Reuters from government sources not connected with U.S. spy agencies or the State Department and who requested anonymity, specifically mention that the Libyan group called Ansar al-Sharia had asserted responsibility for the attacks.

What a little tool.
BTW, I wonder if the goal was to get the CIA out of Benghazi while the arms were moved to the Turkish border, (with WH approval). The video was created for cover.
I bet the Israeli intelligence agency is releasing some of this stuff — If it wasn’t someone at state or the white house as this articles states.
Greta told him if there was a vacuum created ,the President created it and he needs to explain it.
Here’s my $.02.
*State Dept was not paying attention to Benghazi....as the Ambassador was there to divert weapons to Syria.
*Video was CREATED and put on the back burner to be used later when needed. The vid actually had hardly ANY hits.
*Protests in Egypt erupted to free the Blind Sheik. If you notice....there were placards with his image that were used in the ‘peaceful’ protests there. Then they stormed the Embassy.....and brandished the Al-Q flag.
(There were rumors in the press that Obama was to release the Sheik....but he got outed. Beck was all over this.)
*Egyptian Embassy Twitter feed mentions a ‘video’.....and they are apologetic.
*Then.....State Department decides to USE the ‘concocted’ video to blame for the attack in Benghazi out of convenience.....when it had NOTHING to do with it at all.
Wrap up: The ‘video’ was ORIGINALLY supposed to be used to cause a stir to get the Blind Sheik released. NOT the cause of the Benghazi massacre.
I totally believe this is about Obama giving arms to the terrorists.that is what he is hiding. The political stuff is a factor but not the main factor.
The head of the Navy just quit. There are/is fast response in Italy. A couple of hours away. They might not have saved anyone. But it would have been better for them to secure the place than CNN.
“The Taliban is inside the building”
Fox News was told that an estimated 300 to 400 national security figures received these emails in real time almost as the raid was playing out and concluding. People who received these emails work directly under the nation’s top national security, military and diplomatic officials, Fox News was told.
How did they think this was going to stay quiet
Obama needs to be impeached! The man is a traitor to this country.
“The Taliban is inside the building”
_________________________________________________________
Yes. They certainly are.
Yep...it looks like some of our spooks are finally connecting the real dots here on Obama. Expect more to come out tomorrow.
Why the hell would the Lame Stream Media continue to defend Obama after all the lies he continues to tell?
“The head of the Navy just quit.”
Check that. I do not believe that is the case.
They allowed 4 Americans to die without sending in support. So Obama was more concerned about a Jimmy Carter style failed rescue attempt and the political fallout of that over saving American personnel serving their country in dangerous zones.
Col. Hunt said at least 100 people had to be in the loop on this. Why has there not been ONE HONEST PERSON to step up? The only thing I can think of is that Obama immediately classified any and all data, E-mails, video, or any other correspondence. Either that or they are all, to the last man, as crooked as a barrel of fishhooks and lower down than a snakes belly in a wagon track.
Agree 100%, and by GOD I hope and pray he gets his ass kicked big time on the 6th. Otherwise I've lost all hope in this country.
Was watching Greta and had to turn it off, as my BP was skyrocketing. This shit is WORSE THAN WATERGATE!!
Both transcripts, Obama in the last debate talking about Libya in 2nd debate,
Obama “Now with respect to Libya, as I indicated in the last debate, when we received that phone call”

OBAMA: “So as soon as we found out that the Benghazi consulate was being overrun, I was on the phone with my national security team and I gave them three instructions.
Number one, beef up our security and procedures, not just in Libya, but at every embassy and consulate in the region.
Number two, investigate exactly what happened, regardless of where the facts lead us, to make sure folks are held accountable and it doesn’t happen again.
And number three, we are going to find out who did this and we’re going to hunt them down, because one of the things that I’ve said throughout my presidency is when folks mess with Americans, we go after them.”
It is my opinion, too...
Will he turn himself in?
Possible a Fast and Furious II ..with SAM missiles to terrorists? .Benghazi style? Issa needs to reconvene another Congressional inquiry.
