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.

because one of the things that I’ve said throughout my presidency is when folks mess with Americans, we go after them.”

And the whole world laughs derisively every time you say it, Barry, you assclown. "...we go after them." Sure you do.

Either this story is a hoax or FR is first again. It’s 11:18pm EST. Nothing about this on Drudge, Bing, Google New or Yahoo News.

What say nobama? Let’s hear your optimal rationalization on this!

Wait, these statements are not equivalents;

TRANSCRIPT: Presidential Debate on Foreign Policy at Lynn University
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/22/transcript-presidential-debate-on-foreign-policy-at-lynn-university/

Obama “Now with respect to Libya, as I indicated in the last debate, when we received that phone call, I immediately made sure that, number one, that we did everything we could to secure those Americans who were still in harm’s way;”

Transcript of Second Presidential Debate
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/16/transcript-second-presidential-debate/

OBAMA: “So as soon as we found out that the Benghazi consulate was being overrun, I was on the phone with my national security team and I gave them three instructions.

Number one, beef up our security and procedures, not just in Libya, but at every embassy and consulate in the region.

Number two, investigate exactly what happened, regardless of where the facts lead us, to make sure folks are held accountable and it doesn’t happen again.

And number three, we are going to find out who did this and we’re going to hunt them down, because one of the things that I’ve said throughout my presidency is when folks mess with Americans, we go after them.”

That is what I said the other day...that Obama slapped a top secret designation on this stuff almost immediately. There are still heros in our intel agencies and it looks like a few of them have had enou of this crap. Expect more to come out real soon.

What I do not understand is why Panetta, Petreas, the National Security Advisor, even the Joint Chiefs do not resign....saying they cannot work for a man like Obama. That would be the honorable thing to do.

Reuters already asked for a response from the administration...none so far. It is no hoax.

Hood what it was..TERRORISM..instead its “Workplace violence” an arrogant, disgusting schmuck is what he is

My money says the leak starts with Hillary. She “took the fall” as a front. This woman is meaner than cat s***. She’s not going to go down alone. That’s mytheory anyway.

They are probably waiting outside a Mass Courthouse waiting to witness “real news” as it happens.

I don’t think these leaks are coming from any of those guys...it is coming from a patriot further down the chain. Panetta is up to his eyeballs in this crap. Obama’s NSA and joint chiefs are nothing but fools and traitors.

“Wow, if Israeli intelligence!”

If true, this does not surprise me at all. I have written many times that I thought that Bibi would do everything he could to keep Zero from being re-elected. He knows that if he wins, Israel is in big, big trouble. Plus, Bibi really hates Zero’s guts!
