White House told of militant claim two hours after Libya attack: emails

[Perdogg]

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.

Thank you both. You are both very sweet for your replies. I hope your momma is well and happy, hummingbird. Mine is off to bed now, doors and thermostats checked and all is right with our little world for this night.

Id like to know who told Susan Rice to lie OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER again.

Well, her position is cabinet-level, so there are only so many people above her, hierarchically speaking.

It may not be the only thing he's worried about.

“Id like to know who told Susan Rice to lie OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER”

Rice was thrown under the bus.

Kerry, D-Mass. and chairman of Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is one of two leading candidates for secretary of state if Obama wins, according to White House officials.

(snip)

But if the Senate is closely divided after the election, the White House may be reluctant to risk his seat, particularly if Sen. Scott P. Brown, a Republican, is defeated, because Brown could then jump into a special election for Kerry’s seat.

(snip)

On the Democratic side, Susan E. Rice, the ambassador to the United Nations, was the clear front-runner for months. After the deadly attack on a Libya diplomatic post, the White House sent her to the Sunday television programs, raising her prominence for a possible promotion. But the move backfired when she described the attack as an outgrowth of protests only days before the government shifted its explanation and called it a terrorist attack.

(snip)

Thomas E. Donilon, the national security adviser, would like to be secretary of state, friends say, but would face confirmation questions about security leaks and his past work for Fannie Mae, the mortgage company at the heart of the housing meltdown, and he has told Obama he wants to stay in his current post.

Tomorrow ought to be a very interesting day. And that idiot dempsey should already have been frogmarched into oblivion,

“What I do not understand is why Panetta, Petreas, the National Security Advisor, even the Joint Chiefs do not resign....saying they cannot work for a man like Obama. That would be the honorable thing to do.” Are you serious? Part of the vetting process is to exclude anyone who would act so foolishly.

[Texas Songwriter]

They may not be in it, but Col.Hunt reported that this 'real-time' video, once the call was put in to State in Washington automatically notifies a dozen agencies at the same time. The National Security Advisor, the Situation Room ( always manned - 24 hours/day), European Centcom, Asian Centcom, North African Centcom, the CIA, FBI, and others....all manned 'round the clock'. Hunt said these command centers are automatically notified just as soon as that call is put into the State Department. So Lamb was not the only one who took the call. Hunt said maybe 100 or more people were immediately pulled into the real time call.

Where are they? Where is One Honest Man to step forward just to do the right thing. If Hillary clinton was not immediately notified (and believe me when I say I have no warm feelings for her)and she is being set up by Obama, the only honor she can salvage is to resign. If she refuses to tell the truth (and she has) then everyone has everyone else by the short-and-curlies and refuse to tell the truth. But down to the military men who staff the phone and video in Europe, Asia, Africa, the Situation Room, the State dept, etc., there must be at least one willing to tell the truth. Isa should be very, very busy over the next few days (weeks).

[lwoodham]

"I think the ‘video’ was created. To use at a convenient time. BY the ‘State Department’. But that’s just MY opinion." It is my opinion, too...

I think they dubbed in the abusive language in the video that night and spread it around. I think they have been scrambling to cover the lie ever since. One thing is for sure. Hillary Clinton's career is over too.

Thank Sheryl Attkinson of CBS News. She led the Pelle broadcast tonight with this story.

[Jmouse007]

You want to hear from the military? Haven't you heard? The OBAMA administration has prohibited the military from saying anything about what happened in Benghazi! Obozo, Hillery and the entire administration is doing everything in their evil power to stonewall, circumvent and prevent the truth from being revealed to the American people before the election. Obamessiah and his so-called "administration" are so "transparent"... NOT!

One more thing that I keep reading = these guys who attacked the compound, captured, TORTURED, SODOMIZED and KILLED our U.S. Ambassador along with killing three other brave Americans were not "militants", they were and are MUSLIM, ISLAMIC TERRORISTS! (Yes I am yelling!) There I said it, I said the naughty, bad "M" "I" "T" words that this so-called PC "president", his entire administration along with all of the media, including FOX News refuse to use to describe these evil, MUSLIM, ISLAMIC, TERRORISTS! ISLAMIC, MUSLIMS are behind these TERRORISTS attacks against America, her interests and citizens both at home and abroad. ISLAMIC, MUSLIM, TERRORISTS are also behind the attacks on the West and the attacks against Israel. The U.S. Army Major who attacked and killed all those service personnel at Fort Hood was and is an ISLAMIC, MUSLIM, TERRORIST who carried out an ISLAMIC TERRORIST ATTACK!

I have had it! I, along with the overwhelming majority of MILLIONS of FREEDOM-LOVING American citizens AM PERSONALLY OFFENDED by the hate-filled words and never-ending, BARBARIC actions of these ISLAMIC, MUSLIM, TERRORISTS and their perpetual, world-wide "Jihad" against the entire non-ISLAMIC world and world-view.

We are also PERSONALLY OFFENDED and have HAD IT with everyone involved, including the press, media, the politicians, etc... in trying to expunge and hide the reality of what these ISLAMIC, MUSLIM, FASCIST, TERRORISTS are saying and doing in direct response and obedience to the commands of their perverted so-called "prophet" Mad Mohammed, Their blood-thirsty "god" Allah and their perverse, bloody Koran which commands them to convert, enslave or kill EVERYONE WHO IS NOT A MUSLIM.

The Muslims taught America and the world everything we need to know about them, their plans and their religion on 09/11/01. Nothing in this equation has changed since that eventful day and the Obmaessiah and MSMedia's policy of sticking their heads in the sand and pretending MUSLIM, ISLAMIC TERRORISM no longer exists because we have adopted their PC policy of purposely avoiding using the words MUSLIM, ISLAMIC, TERRORISTS or ISLAMIC TERRORISM. They are deluding themselves.

In spite of threats to the contrary, the bloody, god-awful truth regarding ISLAM, MUSLIMS, Jihad and TERRORISM is readily available for all to see. Anyone who honestly studies the history, and actions of Mohammed, Islam, Muslims, and the doctrine/teachings of the Koran since it's inception can come to only one conclusion:

Islam is not, nor has it ever been a "religion of peace" but a "religion" of war, slavery, hatred and blood-shed.

Is it any wonder the symbol of Islam is the SWORD?

EVERYONE who is not a Muslim, EVERYONE who does not believe that Mohammed is "the Prophet", EVERYONE who does not believe that Allah is "god", EVERYONE who does not believe that the Koran is "holy" and the so-called "word of Allah" is an INFIDEL.

According to ISLAM, MOHAMMED, and the Koran; all us "infidels" are given THREE, "choices" and only three:

1. We can CONVERT to Islam by choice or by FORCE.

2. We can become SLAVES, subject to the whims and pleasures of ISLAMIC "MASTERS", and submissively governed by the dictates of Sharia Law.

3. We can DIE = be KILLED by MUSLIMS because of our faith in anyone or anything but Allah, or our lack thereof.

These are the 3 wonderful "choices" ISLAM, MOHAMMED and the KORAN offer all us "infidels".

One more thing... should ANYONE opt for choice #1: Once you have "converted" to ISLAM, you can NEVER, EVER recant, or convert to any other faith. If you do, the penalty is DEATH. That is the only option ISLAM and its bloody so-called "god" Allah offers those who choose, for what ever reason, to leave the faith.

[penelopesire]

My guess is that these leaks are coming from defense or the DOJ....not the top dogs but underling patriots who are sick of the lies and getting suspicious of Obama’s motives at this point.

Tomorrow will be interesting...at least in the new meia. The Old meda will be following Gloria Alred all day looking to scoop up crap that she lays down....lol.

[TigersEye]

Sweet dreams!

[Calpublican]

Clearly someone did step up.

[Nachum]

Thanks Snuph. You are added.

Just a short note, I like Hot Air, which is mostly Michelle Malkin, however the vast majority of what they do is repackage other journalists work and then reprint it- with a little commentary. I am glad they give me the heads up, but it is a little more direct to go to the original.

I have the original Reuters story at my site linked.
