On 9/11 U.S. Ambassador’s Corspe Dragged Through Streets, Obama Goes To Vegas

reply to post by RELDDIR

Leading up to the anniversary of 9/11, the POTUS was campaigning and did not participate in important intel meetings. And his WH Press Secretary, Jay Carney had no answers but to blame the film maker for instigating the violence and embassy attacks that left Ambassador Chris Stevens dead body dragged through the streets of Lybia. This was a real coverup. President Obama decided not to attend any security briefings the morning after the assassination and instead went off to do shows with David Letterman and The Pimp With A Limp.

This entire thing was mishandled from the start. Obama is in 'campaign mode' and NOTHING ELSE matters to him. This man is a complete narcissistic tyrant.

I showed today that this administration’s blaming of this movie is nothing but distraction and deflection from the real truth.

An attack on free speech:

The Obama Administration, determined to control free speech, had YouTube review its guidelines to determine if that Mohammed video is in violation.

Freedom of speech was attacked from the top down within the administration. When will Obama apologize to America?

So what is it exactly you expect him to do? Run over to Libya and play Rambo for you? Maybe they had actionable intelligence, maybe they didn't. Ultimately it was up to Ambassador Chris Stevens to decide whether he was comfortable going to the consulate in Benghazi or not. The fact is this President has been hitting Al Qaeda hard and relentlessly his entire term. Unlike some other Presidents that though it would be a good idea to start there and then just declare war on Islam altogether. Retribution in some form or another was invertible, this does not mean you stay behind the walls of your little fortress. For diplomacy to ever work and gain real ground it takes men willing to go the places other people won't and love doing it.

Ambassador Stevens was fearful of his life being taken away by terrorists. And U.S. officials are now calling this a terrorist attack.

CNN: Libya ambassador feared he was on hit list

CNN, citing an unnamed source, reported that slain U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens had "worried about what he called the never-ending security threats in Benghazi and mentioned his name was on an al-Qaeda hit list."

As U.S. officials continue to investigate the deaths of Stevens and three other Americans, National Counterterrorism Center director Matthew Olsen told a Senate hearing: "I would say, yes, they were killed in course of terrorist attack on our embassy."

Pakistan hit by anti-Islam video protests: US embassy in Islamabad is latest target of around 5,000 demonstrators angry at video mocking the Prophet Muhammad
www.aljazeera.com...

The US embassy in Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, has become the latest target of protesters angry at an anti-Islam video that triggered protests in the Arab and Muslim world.

The total number of protesters reached around 5,000 later on Thursday with the arrival of protesters carrying the flags of hardline Islamist groups. At least 50 people were injured as police fired tear gas and live rounds towards the crowds.

Hundreds of students from various colleges and educational institutions in Islamabad had begun clashing with police as security forces tried to block them from reaching the embassy compoud, which also includes the British and French diplomatic missions.

The students responded by pelting the police with stones, and the police retaliated by firing tear gas shells.

Al Jazeera's Kamal Hyder, reporting from Islamabad, said the situation was eventually brought under "control" by police and the military.

Reports say more than 17 people have died as demonstrations against an anti-Islam video erupted across Pakistan, a day after protesters tried to storm the US embassy in the capital, Islamabad.

All I'll say is that this is another Right wing lie, which of course only another Right winger is susceptible to believing. I've come to expect such posts from Reddlir, who in my experience has not once posted anything factual. The rest of us are not stupidly blind to facts nor raised to exalt ignorance.

Within 24 hours of the 9-11 anniversary attack on the United States consulate in Benghazi, U.S. intelligence agencies had strong indications al Qaeda–affiliated operatives were behind the attack, and had even pinpointed the location of one of those attackers. Three separate U.S. intelligence officials who spoke to The Daily Beast said the early information was enough to show that the attack was planned and the work of al Qaeda affiliates operating in Eastern Libya.

Huckabee: Benghazi could be worse than Watergate

Mike Huckabee, on Fox News this morning, finishes a searing attack on the Obama Administration over its handling of the Benghazi terrorist attack.

"Richard Nixon was forced out of office because he lied and because he covered some stuff up, I'm going to be blunt and tell you this -- nobody died in Watergate.

We have some people who are dead because of this, and there are some questions to be answered, and Americans ought to demand answers."

GOP: US Consulate received repeated threats, had requested more security By Julian Pecquet

Two House Republicans say they have been informed by whistleblowers that the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was attacked and threatened 13 times before the incident last month that killed four Americans.

“Based on information provided to the Committee by individuals with direct knowledge of events in Libya, the attack that claimed the ambassador’s life was the latest in a long line of attacks on Western diplomats and officials in Libya in the months leading up to September 11, 2012,” Issa and Chaffetz wrote. “It was clearly never, as Administration officials once insisted, the result of a popular protest."

The congressmen said the consulate asked for more security to deal with the growing threat but was turned down by the administration.

“In addition, multiple U.S. federal government officials have confirmed to the Committee that, prior to the September 11 attack, the U.S. mission in Libya made repeated requests for increased security in Benghazi. The mission in Libya, however, was denied these resources by officials in Washington.”

The two lawmakers told Clinton they intend to convene a hearing of Issa’s House Oversight panel on Oct. 10 to review possible security failures in Libya, including “State Department security assessments and security related decision making.”

Clinton will “cooperate fully” with the Republican probe, the State Department said.

White House Has No Comment on House GOPers’ Assertions that Libyan Mission Requested Security Prior to 9/11/12 Attack By Jake Tapper

White House press secretary Jay Carney declined to comment on an assertion by the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that requests from diplomats in Libya for added security prior to the September 11, 2012 attack on the diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, were denied.

U.S. had early indications Libya attack tied to organized militants
WASHINGTON Oct 2 (Reuters)

Within hours of last month's attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya, President Barack Obama's administration received about a dozen intelligence reports suggesting militants connected to al Qaeda were involved, three government sources said.

Despite these reports, in public statements and private meetings, top U.S. officials spent nearly two weeks highlighting intelligence suggesting that the attacks were spontaneous protests against an anti-Muslim film, while playing down the involvement of organized militant groups.

It was not until last Friday that Director of National Intelligence James Clapper's office issued an unusual public statement, which described how the picture that intelligence agencies presented to U.S. policymakers had "evolved" into an acknowledgement that the attacks were "deliberate and organized" and "carried out by extremists."

The existence of the early reports appears to raise fresh questions about the Obama administration's public messaging about the attack as it seeks to fend off Republican charges that the White House failed to prevent a terrorist strike that left a U.S. ambassador and three others dead.

"What we're seeing now is the picture starting to develop that it wasn't a problem with the intelligence that was given, it's what they did with the intelligence that they were given," Representative Mike Rogers, chairman of the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee, said in an interview on Tuesday.

"This picture is still a little fuzzy but it is starting to come into focus and it appears that there were, very early on, some indications that there was jihadist participation in the event," he said.

Like all the freedoms are not absolute and boundless

Freedom of speech had and has it's own boundaries.

edit on 16-9-2012 by mideast because: (no reason given)

So you cry about the US becoming a police state and then in the next sentence say freedom of speech should have limits and freedoms are not absolute.




And we wonder why freedom slips away bit by bit.



Everyone in the world should follow one simple rule. You have the right to do whatever you want as long as it does not infringe on another's right to do the same.

Finally after 3 weeks, FBI agents arrive at burned-out Benghazi consulate.
