U.S. responded to Benghazi attack as terrorism on ‘Day One’: Source
Yahoo news ^ | Today | Olivier Knox

Posted on 09/27/2012 7:54:55 PM PDT by granada

When gunmen struck the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11 of this year, the response from American officials was almost simultaneous: They immediately set about collecting information about the attackers, some of whom were quickly identified as foreigners, and tracing links from them to known extremist groups, a knowledgeable source has told Yahoo News.

The source's description came as fresh news accounts cast doubt on the White House's insistence that it has been forthright all along about what it knew about the attack. (I tweeted on Sept. 21 that this same source informed Yahoo News that the administration privately labeled the attack as terrorism on "Day One.")

The media spin stories covering Obama are breaking fast and furious. Not even our national security trumps their loyalty to their master. Scary times.

- I've had this for days - checked it out but couldn't find the original. Could this have been photoshopped? Yahoo is owned by the syndicate.

And if it’s real it might be the reason they’re behind the 8th ball...they think it’s Syria.

Asked about the evolving administration line, the anonymous source said that "confusion and misinformation always helps an operational response."

Wow. So the administration knew all along it was terrorism, and let all their spokespeople blame it on a video for a week or two because they were busy getting things done on the down-low? The confusions was intentional and part of a misinformation campaign????? Riiiiggghhhhtttt. These people don't even lie well.

The history re-write has begun. Is Ambassador Stevens even buried yet?

There were no terrorists either. Think this through very carefully....

1. the security lapse
2. the initial cover story that sparked riots across the middle east
3. the fact there are no investigator's boots on the ground YET!
4. the new cover story that the public seems more willing to accept.
5. Las Vegas and The View were more important
6. his coldness after the speech in the rose garden

What happened to the ambassador? This is totally unconscionable or is the real truth something even more sinister. Obama had him taken out. It isn't the first time Obama has done this to citizens on foreign soil. This time he just didn't use a drone.

I’m still betting on the terrorists. obama is emotionless because he simply doesn’t care. obama lies all the time and the press never bats an eye. This time, there were pictures of the dead ambassador on Drudge prior to the administration’s cover story. Hillary and obama’s story that the nice Libyans were taking him to the hospital just did not cut it.

obama lies because he lies. obama’s reality is what obama says it is.
