State Department emails from day of
Libya attack show Al Qaeda-tied
group on radar

FOX News, by Chad Pergram

Original Article

Posted By:CEP, 10/23/2012 10:26:40 PM

A series of internal State Department emails obtained by Fox News shows some some of the initial assessments of last month's deadly consulate attack in Libya, including one email within hours of the attack that noted that the group Ansar al Sharia had claimed responsibility. Ansar al Sharia has been declared by the State Department to be a an Al Qaeda-affiliated group. A member of the group suspected of participating in the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi has been arrested and is being held in Tunisia.

Could this be the famous October Surprise?

Greta seemed incredulous, even visibly shaken when reporting this story tonight. The four Americans who died were betrayed by their leaders in the White House, State Department etc. Obama, Hillary, Jarett, Axelrod, Panetta, and yes even Petreaus -- they all must go. This is a travesty of the highest order. Benghazi, not Bin Laden will be the legacy of the Obama Administration, and ends Hillary's hopes for 2016.

Let's see if the MSM covers it.

God Bless the leaker of these emails - raw courage!

Emails report a well organized and heavily armed al-Qaeda attack on our shamefully unprotected facilities. However, the messages do not show the emotional trauma that would surface days later when the terrorists learned that they weren't listed in the credits of the anti-Mohammed video. This videographer's oversight caused post-terrorism stress syndrome, or PTTS, in possibly one of the attackers. The diagnosis of PTTS by the WH allowed Obama and his ilk to blame the assault on the video. So, it only seems like Obama lied about the video causing the assault.

And as Liz Cheney said on Greta tonight and on via her Twitter:

POTUS, VP, SecDef in Oval Office as White House rec'd real time reports about Benghazi attack. Attack lasted 7 hours. Obama did nothing.

And yet, they thought that LYING about the cause was the "brilliant" thing to do. For HOURS the folks in this administration WATCHED the MASSACRE on drone video feeds - and DID NOTHING!

They setup Stevens for something and it went knickers-up. Then they scrambled to COVER IT UP. All except for Barry - he had to sleep and then catch a flight for Vegas where he had heavy campaign obligations that were, as the "Mouth Of Saurons" of the WH said, "Were planned far ahead and could not be changed."

Treason. This prezdint and most all of the administration and the State Controlled Lapdog Media are ALL guilty and/or complicit of TREASON.
If Romney WINS he had better place someone like Mark Levin in the U.S. Attorney General's office. That is THE ONLY WAY to bring these criminals to justice.

So the next question is, why was there a drone conveniently overhead recording what was going on? We were get emails in real time that it was an orchestrated attack and did nothing! Why?

There are reports out there that a white house source said it was a planned kidnapping of the Ambassador ( who was told to stay in Benghazi) by the administration-an agreement with the Muslim Brotherhood. We would then trade him for the blind sheik. Obama's October Surprise to win the election!
But it went bad. 6 months ago I would never believe such a story. But today? This administration is capable of anything in it's drive to win. There is no other explanation
that we didn't send it fighter jets, Marines and everything else we had there to break it up. 7 hours we allowed our people to fight for their lives and sat on our hands. Heads need to roll.

If God help us Obama wins he WILL be impeached over this. And he should go to prison for treason along with EVERY person in his administration that was complicit. That wold be Jarrett, Axelrod, Hilary, (and Huma perhaps) and anyone in the Pentagon who knew and did nothing.

The Dems better put that in the equation when voting. Impeachment will be the last nail in our coffin as a nation when we should be focused on the economy and terrorism. We'll be left with crazy Joe.

Can you imagine the heartbreak of the victims' families knowing the the President, VP, Secretary of State ,etc., sat and watched while your loved one died and did nothing. How cold and heartless are these so called leaders anyway? Death is devastating enough, but this is beyond anything the families should be dealing with at this time.

Mike Baker, an ex-super-secret CIA agent who appears on Fox News frequently, said a week ago that there were bombshells on this story that would be made public before the election. It has to be this - and possibly more in the next two weeks.

My questions:
1. Why this Ambassador?
2. Just happened to be a drone overhead - is this routine? Do all our Middle East embassies have drones overhead? Are they armed? Or video feeds only?
3. Whose idea was it to blame the idiotic video?
4. HAS ANYONE ACTUALLY SEEN THIS VIDEO?
5. Why is the video maker STILL IN JAIL?
6. Was he part of this scam plan?

Answers, please.

If you read “The real reason behind Benghazigate” in thread no. 708462 — below the Must Reads — you will begin to see how the events are tightly linked together. According to author Frank Gaffney, Obama was gun-walking on a massive scale with the effect being to equip America’s enemies to wage jihad not only against regimes it once claimed were our friends, but inevitably against us and our allies as well.

#22, that report is correct, and has been public for some time now. They are called the February 17th Martyrs' Brigade, after an event in 2006 in which thousands of Benghazians attacked the Italian Consulate and burned it. The cause for the attack? An Italian named Calderoli had defended the free speech of the West.

In the ensuing battle, 11 of the terrorist attackers were killed by Libyan forces. The Feb. 17th Martyrs' Brigade commemorates those terrorists. And our State Dept. hired them to defend our consulate.

The group Ansar-Al-Sharia, responsible for the attack on the American Consulate, is a spinoff of the February 17th Martyrs Brigade.

More questions to be asked:

The Regime claims that the Benghazi attack was a follow-on to the riots in Egypt. It still claims that the riots in Egypt were inspired by the YouTube video. Demonstrators, especially in the Middle East, usually hold up signs and banners detailing their grievances. Were there documented photos or videos showing these to provide proof that the Cairo protests on September 11, before the Benghazi attack started, were about the YouTube video? There must have been press on scene to capture this evidence. Or was this like the false accusations of Tea Party protesters spitting on Rep. Emanuel Cleaver? If proof exists, show us. If you can't, then perhaps this is yet another lie.

Appearing on a local Windy City Sunday morning talk show on the radio station WLSAM, Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said special interests that lobby politicians to influence their opinion on gun control are the real problem. “If there was a special interest influencing police work, I believe that would be called corruption,” McCarthy said.

After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

In a stunning end to one of the most aggressively unsuccessful tenures in retail history, JCPenney (JCP) last night announced that CEO Ron Johnson would be leaving effective immediately. Myron Ullman, Johnson´s predecessor at JCPenney, takes office as CEO. When Johnson was initially wooed by JCPenney, it was to serve as CEO with Ullman as Chairman. In January 2012, Ullman was unceremoniously removed from the board. Gone with Ullman was any control the Board of Directors had over Ron Johnson and his control of JCPenney resources.
