Actually, the headline doesn't match the content of the article. It makes it sound as if the regime knew ten days in advance about the attack. Reading the article, it says they were informed September 12 that the attack had been planned for ten days prior.

Still, it means the regime knew immediately that it was Al Qaeda, that it was a terror attack. They lied. They always lie, and their supporters don't care and never care.

The new documents also provide the first official confirmation that shows the U.S. government was aware of arms shipments from Benghazi to Syria.

They are still not quite admitting that the US was complicit in the arms shipments.

Good point. It still surprises me how many people react to BS headlines. I think the writers know their business...

Nor are they admitting that Hillary was collecting “donations” for the sale of the arms.

They knew the threats were escalating. There have been numerous communications revealed in which Ambassador Stevens was pleading for more security.

It might have been the first time the “government” heard about it. I’ll bet Langley knew about it.

Immediately after the attack I viewed a number of articles, some of which showed the wall around the compound. It was about 8 feet high it looked like something that with the help of a friend I could climb over (I was 73 at the time). Here is one of the more interesting comments at this site which has a lot of detail and photos:

“Well if you want to fracture the transitional government so you can put in your own people it would make sense to take out Ambassador Stevens. It would appear that he was well liked and was able to bring multiple groups together and get them working for a common purpose. From the limited information we have so far it would seem that both the Embassy and the “secret safe house” were both hit indicating an inside job and NOT a spontaneous protest of a low budget film. Not only did the attackers manage to kill Stevens but according to the Independent they also were able to capture sensitive information. I tend to see bad things in Libya’s future.”

I looked for other images of Benghazi consulate, and found the following, but none really show the wall that was attacked and climbed with ease. The consulate compound was in a neighborhood of other properties, not anything fortified. Nothing here was made to withstand an armed assault by large numbers:

“Still, it means the regime knew immediately that it was Al Qaeda, that it was a terror attack. “

So the admin didn’t know - as title suggests — “ten days in advance,” just that after it happened the terrorists had planned it ten days in advance.

We already knew that the CIA said it was a terror attack one half hour after it was reported, right?
