The administration story is unraveling.
The administration at first claimed the murderous attack in Benghazi arose spontaneously from a protest at the consulate. An intelligence source on the ground in Libya told Fox News that there was no demonstration outside the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi prior to last week’s attack — challenging the Obama administration’s claims that the assault grew out of a “spontaneous” protest against an anti-Islam film.
“There was no protest and the attacks were not spontaneous,” the source said, adding the attack “was planned and had nothing to do with the movie.”
The source said the assault came with no warning at about 9:35 p.m. local time, and included fire from more than two locations. The assault included RPG’s and mortar fire, the source said, and consisted of two waves.
The account that the attack started suddenly backs up claims by a purported Libyan security guard who told McClatchy Newspapers late last week that the area was quiet before the attack.
“There wasn’t a single ant outside,” the unnamed guard, who was being treated in a hospital, said in the interview. Much easier to divert attention to a red herring movie than to discuss the faulty 'smart diplomacy' and promotion of islamist takeovers across the islamic world.
This is an al queda problem. These were six [at my last count] coordinated Islamist attacks on diplomatic enclaves, scheduled to celebrate 9/11, not a rogue filmmaker problem. Let's deal with it honestly. |

On Wednesday, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers told Fox News that the strike was a "coordinated, military-style" operation.
Wanis al-Sharef, eastern Libya's deputy interior minister, then said on Thursday the attacks were suspected to have been timed to mark the 9/11 anniversary and that the militants used civilians protesting an anti-Islam film as cover for their action.
The same official also told Reuters that arrests have been made in connection with the investigation. It's unclear whether those arrested are chief suspects. Sharef said four people were in custody and being interrogated "because they are suspected of helping instigate" the attack, but stressed the Libyan government is still "gathering evidence."
Separately, Sharef offered new details about the operation behind the attack Tuesday. He said U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and another official were killed in the consulate, but that the attackers timed a second wave on the safe house just as Libyan and U.S. security forces were arriving to rescue evacuated consulate staff.
He said that second wave killed two more Americans and wounded nearly 30 Libyans and Americans.
The comments continued to contradict initial reports that the attack was a product of angry and violent protests over an anti-Islam film.
Rogers told Fox News he has "no doubt" it was a planned attack and had nothing to do with the film.
"It was a coordinated, military-style, commando-type raid," Rogers said. Based on his own briefings, Rogers said "military movements" were involved.

Baldwin i will ask again, do you read the news? I was reading this on September 12th and you are announcing it here like it's some big new break through. As early as the next day, virtually every news story on the attack in Libya speculated extensively that the attack was pre planned and had nothing to do with the movie. This is such a strange post as though you are informing everyone of new information, it was reported as a strong possibility virtually from the begining.

I'm the first one posting it here. If you wish to do so in a more timely fashion, then do so.
And you have good reason to keep up. BTW, do you still hold the absurd position [which you took early on] that it was kadafi loyalists?
I mean, the Libyan portion of the coordinated international campaign of attacks against western diplomatic enclaves. */sarc

Here is an article on Sept 13th where "US officials" stated, "the attack appeared planned and complex rather then spontaneous reaction to the video".

The "absurd position" was one of the ideas being speculated by the press on the ground in the region as a "possiblility".
As more information comes to light, I am reading new things. I never claimed to know anything nor claim anything was a fact the way some people around here do.
I didn't start a thread because I don't post here much anymore because I found the discourse had become not worth the headache it often created.

The people who put a film maker in prison because he allegedly provoked outrage in the muslim world leading to attacks on USA interests...
...just released the CIA report.
Matters that could have and should have been dealt with behind closed doors by the same Senate Select Committee On Intelligence Chairman...Diane Feinstein who vociferously approved and encouraged the aggressive approach @ 9/11 that she today wants to send to the Hague for war crimes it would seem.
Short version: Forget Gruber. Forget the landslide election. It's all Bush's fault.

Here is Hillary co-chairing a hearing that instituted the yearly 'Istanbul Process' which was an OIC initiative to criminalize criticism of Islam.
Of course it wasn't legal in the USA to imprison Noukula for exercising his first amendment rights so a pretext was found to do so.

Either you're joking or completely ignorant of the law. His 1st amendment rights had nothing to do with his arrest and subsequent sentence. He was on probation after being convicted of bank fraud and identity theft, and he egregiously broke the terms of his probation, by using a dizzying array of aliases, among other things. I would imagine he will remain on probation until he pays off the $794,700.57 in restitution he owes from his 2010 conviction.

And yet he was breezing along free and easy until Hillary needed to show her buddies at the OIC some concrete action.

It's a little early for HDS (Hillary Derangement Syndrome) to recur, isn't it? Or perhaps it has already metastasized throughout the brain.

I'm fairly certain that, if just being next to Clinton brings bad people to justice, that most of us would consider that a feature, not a bug.

Actually he is a very strange case. He has admitted to someone that he is not a Coptic but rather a muslim. One of his partners believe he was offered time off in return for...maybe we'll find out.
