Fox News follows up on Eli Lake’s excellent reporting on the intel after the assassination of Ambassador Chris Stevens, confirming from their own sources that the US knew within the first twenty-four hours that the sacking of the Benghazi consulate was no “spontaneous demonstration” that spun out of control. In fact, they already suspected al-Qaeda of masterminding the planned terrorist attack on the compound days before even admitting that it had been a terror attack at all — and had designated the incident as terrorism in order to pursue one suspect:
U.S. intelligence officials knew within 24 hours of the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Libya that it was a terrorist attack and suspected Al Qaeda-tied elements were involved, sources told Fox News — though it took the administration a week to acknowledge it.
The account conflicts with claims on the Sunday after the attack by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice that the administration believed the strike was a “spontaneous” event triggered by protests in Egypt over an anti-Islam film.
Two senior U.S. officials said the Obama administration internally labeled the attack terrorism from the first day in order to unlock and mobilize certain resources to respond, and that officials were looking for one specific suspect.
Four days later, the White House sent UN Ambassador Susan Rice to five different Sunday talk shows to claim that the sacking and assassination sprang from a “spontaneous” demonstration. That no longer can be explained as initial confusion over conflicting reports; it is now clearly a lie told by the White House. Jennifer Rubin pointed this out at the Washington Post even before the Fox report, and wondered where the national media that screeched at every claim by George W. Bush has suddenly become so comfortable with an administration that flat-out lies to them:
We’ve been arming and funding them.
I would comment on this but just heard that B Obama and H Clinton are holding a joint press conference and are going to release ALL the facts, including the diary.
Also, Boehner is calling Congress back to look into the butchering of facts.
McConnell, is also pressuring Reid to call the Senate back so ‘we’ can get to the bottom of this.
Oops, got to go, they are coming with my noon meds....
Some fool claims I am delusional...oh well.....
He did.
Golf.... mostly.
McCain wants to arm the Syrian rebels too. Funny how our so called elected functionaries are all in for arming wild Indians but when it comes to arms availability for American citizens. . .
” well, urk, dzzzz, burble burble pip pip OUTRAGEOUS! You can’t do that! Little children would be killed! . . . . !!!! Brzzt. Brzzzzzzxt”
Democrats lie.
In other news, water is wet.
Can’t blame Bam on this...he rarely attends intelligence briefings....its more important for him to be shaking down dummies.
I would bet good money he did.
One of the guys that was killed was there to retrieve the arms given them (was an arms expert).....IMHO.
That was the reason BOTH SEALS were there. They were not part of embassy security...although they did try to save the ambassador’s life.
"Of course his records show he was in prison, as do the records of all the men in the 303, for national security reasons."
Yep.
Of course he did. Stevens was there to cover up the evidence.
I read that the Seals were there to “protect” information that was stored in the Benghazi Consulate, information about contacts that the administration had worked with during the Libyan fighting. I guess this could mean tracking weapons.
Yes, and he is adamant about it. I thought he was a jerk back in 2008, but I have since then concluded that he is not only deserving of the higher "asshole" rank, but is also either:
1. delusional
2. the original mole of choice before they found a more useful one in Hawaii/Kenya/Connecticut/Qom.
Mr niteowl77
What kind of game is this A**H*LE playing?????????????????
Golf.... mostly.
G.O.L.F. = Go On Lying Forever
Thanks
This is un effing believable! A donk spokesman was just on FoxNews insisting that Rice did not lie when she said the consulate attack and murder of Stevens was the result of a spontaneous protest/ reaction to the youtube video! I’m ready to pull my hair out!
Sure it is, but right in line for these people.
