"Premeditated": Obama Administration Contradicts Libyans on Attack

Obama Admin Official Contradicts Libyan Accounts of Attack On Sunday, U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice continued to support the Obama Administration's story that the Libyan attacks on the U.S. consulate in Libya that resulted in the death of an ambassador were the result of spontaneous action by rioters rather than a planned and coordinated attack.

The only problem with this stance is that it contradicts all reports that are coming out of Libya and statements made by Libya's own president. Whether this is out of political expediency or an Obama Administration's inability to get on the same page is unclear.

The Obama administration is sticking to its position that Tuesday's deadly attack in Benghazi wasn't premeditated, contradicting U.S. lawmakers and Libya's own president.

Libya's own leader, interim president Mohammed Magarief, has said that foreigners infiltrated Libya over the past few months and planned the attack that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

“The idea that this criminal and cowardly act was a spontaneous protest that just spun out of control is completely unfounded and preposterous,” Magarief told NPR in Benghazi on Sunday. “We firmly believe that this was a pre-calculated, pre-planned attack that was carried out specifically to attack the U.S. Consulate.

The Obama Administration is sticking to the line that the violence overseas directed at U.S. diplomatic institutions aren't about Obama Administration policy but about a little-seen video on YouTube.

Meanwhile, in Pakistan, violence erupted as hundreds of Pakistanis marched on the U.S. consulate in Karachi, and clashes with security forces resulted in one death and many more injured .

I record Fox News Sunday and Chris Wallace had Susan Rice her on as his first guest. I fast forwarded the entire segment with her, because I knew she would just lie and use a lame excuse

WaPo isn't much better but they have it too.

Libyan president says U.S. consulate attack was premeditated; U.S. Ambassador Rice says it began spontaneously

Nothing in an FR search on that either.

Ah, I see I was too slow, you already posted the Polutico article. lol
