A long article which ends with this:
“Four hundred miles away in Benghazi, the Supreme Security Committees have offices but little presence on the streets. Rocket-propelled grenades and automatic weapons that rebels stole from Kadafi’s stocks during the revolution are for sale in the main market, sometimes by men who look barely old enough to drive.
At Jalaa Hospital, the main emergency trauma center in eastern Libya, the only security for months was provided by Ansar al Sharia. Ten days after the attack, protests forced the group to abandon its installations in Benghazi, including the hospital.
Now the doctors want the group back.
A weaker militia has taken its place, but security has badly deteriorated, with gun battles sometimes spilling into the parking lot and reception areas. After several days of chaos, including one incident where a nurse was assaulted, about 200 doctors, nurses and other staff signed a petition seeking Ansar al Sharia’s return.
“There is a lot of propaganda against them, but we are asking for them,” said Ahmed Abdul Gader, a weary-eyed orthopedic surgeon who was on duty one recent evening. “The government has no control here.”

Indeed they did. I have been posting that on many threads lately.
Actually killing Ben Laden was not necessary for "Osama" is not dead, he has become their martyr and his spirit of death to America lives on. Obama FAILED.
There is way more to the Libya attack. The WH was not surprised, did not call a presser, sat by and watched the attack..no there is much more. Was it the munitions in the bunkers? Possibly that was the prize offered to eliminate Amb Stevens? Was Amb Stevens going against the admin? Or, was he getting ready to uncover damaging info? The whole incident stinks ti high heaven.
Dear Leader's approach to Jihad has been from the Get-Go, one of Appeasement and s Submission.
One has to but look at all of our own State Dept's list of Terrorists Groups (and even that is not complete) to realize that there are many, many such groups whose goal is the same as AQ to include the Muslim Brotherhood, who are well ensconced here in the US and within every level of our Government:
Not only is the "War on Terror" over, but the latest narrative coming from this Islamic Jihadist appeasing/denying/supporting regime is that the ONLY foe we now face (Worldwide)is the ubiquitous al Qaeda.
By intentionally ignoring the Elephant in the Jello, they do not have to recognize (and admit) the underlying cause for 99% of the Terrorist Acts, Islam/Sharia/"Religion of Peace" which (going back to our Clueless Compassionate Conservative DUPE, Boosh) continues to deny that we are at War against Islam and they do so at their/our peril
"Foreign Terrorist Organization" is a designation of non-United States-based organizations declared terrorist by the United States Secretary of State in accordance with section 219 of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)."
