Libya Gave 3 Day Warning

Or, "U.S. State Dept Drops Ball, Gets Ambassador Killed"

American diplomats were warned of possible violent unrest in Benghazi three days before the killings of US Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three members of his team, Libyan security officials say.


The claim came as the country's interim President, Mohammed el-Megarif, said his government had information that the attack on the US consulate had been planned by an Islamist group with links to al-Qa'ida and with foreigners taking part.

However, the American ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, insisted that the killings had resulted from a demonstration against a film about the Prophet Mohamed, replicating protests in Cairo, which had been "hijacked" and got out of control.

The Independent has reported diplomatic sources who said that the threat of an attack against US interests in the region was known to the US administration 48 hours before it took place. The alert was issued by the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security, but not made public. A State Department spokesman maintained: "We are not aware of any actionable intelligence indicating that an attack on the US Mission in Benghazi was planned or imminent."

But President Megarif told the American station National Public Radio: "We firmly believe that this was a pre-calculated, pre-planned attack that was carried out specifically to attack the US Consulate. A few of those who joined in were foreigners who had entered Libya from different directions, some of them definitely from Mali and Algeria."

A senior official of the biggest militia in Benghazi, the February 17th Brigade, told CNN that he had warned US diplomats of a rapidly deteriorating security situation in Benghazi three days before the attack. "The situation is frightening, it scares us," he said he had stressed during the meeting. Mr Stevens had been back in Libya for only a short time before US security officials decided it would be safe to make the journey to Benghazi during the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The British consulate in the city was shut after an ambush of a convoy carrying Dominic Asquith, the UK ambassador, in which his bodyguard were injured. The UN and International Committee of the Red Cross offices had been bombed and there had been a spate of political assassinations.

However, Ms Rice denied the Benghazi attack was pre-planned. She said: "Our current best assessment... is that... it was a spontaneous – not a premeditated – response to what had transpired in Cairo. "A small number of people came to the consulate. It seems to have been hijacked by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons... And it then evolved from there." Mr Stevens was separated from his protection team during the attack. He was found, it is thought unconscious, by locals who took him to hospital where, doctors said, he died from smoke inhalation.

The Americans who escaped from the consulate made their way to a "safe house" at a supposedly secret location. That, too, came under mortar fire. Captain Fathi al-Obeidi, who had taken an eight-strong American rescue team which had arrived from Tripoli to the safe house, said "I don't know how they found the place to carry out the attack. It was planned, the accuracy with which the mortars hit us was too good for any ordinary revolutionaries." On Sunday, the head of Libya's national congress said about 50 people had been arrested in connection with the attack on the US consulate, though the interior ministry put the figure far lower.

It would be obvious to most folks that on 911, you should provide "added" security at most of your bases and embassies.

That would only take "leadership" and a bit of intelligence from the CIC.


But I would expect that drones like OT will stick up for "Carter 2.0"


Stop fooling around obama, it's not only the US that you are screwing over!

Sig Sauer has an app for that!! :D


Most video games will warn you that the date is upcoming and that you have to move your pieces on the gameboard.


A true leader is hard to find these days, within the Dem. party.

They're too worried about "free birth control" and the "war on women" to worry about the "war on humanity"

if a gay government official was burned in a building, drug through the streets , pictures and video of the incident on TV.. while the participants chanted god is great..

would the liberals say it was because of broke-back mountain?

if the same gay official was raped with a metal pole and knife, before someone finally took his beaten almost lifeless body to a hospital..

would the liberals say "oh look at their compassion",.. after burning him in a building, parading him around for photos, raping him, trying to hang him.. .. chanting god is great .. for two hours ,.." they took him to a nearby hospital"..

when it was learned of his suffering and death of suffocation..

would the liberals say it was because we offended the by making them watch broke-back mountain.. ?

would the liberals concoct a "narrative" out of it to make it sound like a tragedy than just a protest that went wrong...

not a chance if it happened here...

but if it was a premeditated cold blooded attack by a bunch of crazed radical muslims.. then it is just peachy when they try burn him in a building, parading him around for photos, raping him with a metal pole and knife, trying to hang him.. .. chanting god is great .. for two hours,..


But they will stomp all over their principles to appease islam.. why?

Certainly sounds like it, according to the article. We have a bunch of
weird-o-s in our government. Why would she intentionally send a gay
man over there?

Then they all say, "God Bless America". I don't get it. We turn our
back on God in most everything then still expect him to bless America?

The answer is politically incorrect but easy to deduce with logic. What does secular journalism and Islam have in common?

They both reject Jesus Christ. Therefor, that is enough of a cause to unite them.
