reuters ^

Posted on 10/23/2012 6:40:05 PM PDT by 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.

I can't watch it now either. Time to spend w/Mom watching Frasier. She has Alzheimer's or something and this is our time each night. I'll find a link to a video of it later and ping you to it.

So far she and Bolton are killing it! Gotta go.

MISSIVES FROM LIBYA

The records obtained by Reuters consist of three emails dispatched by the State Department’s Operations Center to multiple government offices, including addresses at the White House, Pentagon, intelligence community and FBI, on the afternoon of September 11.

The first email, timed at 4:05 p.m. Washington time - or 10:05 p.m. Benghazi time, 20-30 minutes after the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission allegedly began - carried the subject line “U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi Under Attack” and the notation “SBU”, meaning “Sensitive But Unclassified.”

The text said the State Department’s regional security office had reported that the diplomatic mission in Benghazi was “under attack. Embassy in Tripoli reports approximately 20 armed people fired shots; explosions have been heard as well.”

The message continued: “Ambassador Stevens, who is currently in Benghazi, and four ... personnel are in the compound safe haven. The 17th of February militia is providing security support.”

A second email, headed “Update 1: U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi” and timed 4:54 p.m. Washington time, said that the Embassy in Tripoli had reported that “the firing at the U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi had stopped and the compound had been cleared.” It said a “response team” was at the site attempting to locate missing personnel.

A third email, also marked SBU and sent at 6:07 p.m. Washington time, carried the subject line: “Update 2: Ansar al-Sharia Claims Responsibility for Benghazi Attack.”

The message reported: “Embassy Tripoli reports the group claimed responsibility on Facebook and Twitter and has called for an attack on Embassy Tripoli.”

State and the WH WERE notified.

They have both been consistently trying to throw Petraeus and the CIA under the bus.

Don’t go there. Petraeus is a soldier’s soldier. In a job that entails being someone’s whipping boy when things go wrong.

Soros et al have wanted Petraeus’ hide for years. He knew. He gave those in authority the information they needed to authorize a strike/mission to rescue and defeat.

They WATCHED. It’s like the line from “Sin City” by the Catholic bishop: “He had me watch.”

I believe 0bama personally ordered Stevens to Benghazi.


Who was the diplomat/envoy that Stevens met with earlier in the evening? There is video of them shaking hands.

Catherine Herridge’s source was the State Department. Now why would rooters go out if their way to stress their source was not the State Department?
Curious

Obama was informed about the developments in Libya by his National Security Adviser Tom Donilon as the president began a weekly meeting Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey. The White House said Obama was kept apprised throughout the evening and then again Wednesday morning.

For Obama to use the You Tube video excuse makes me wonder what it is he is covering up.It has to be something substantial,knowing that information would eventually get out.

Random thought. Perhaps Romney knew this was going to break which might explain why he held back last night.
