New information suggests White House knew about pending attack on U.S. consulate in Libya
Quote:
Now, news outlets are reporting that the United States did in fact know about the imminent assault three days before it occurred, giving the U.S. an adequate amount of time to secure the consulate ahead of the terrorist threat. Other details of the attacks have also lead those familiar with the situation to believe that the strike was unarguably pre-planned.


Furthermore, respected media company McClatchy is reporting that even the reports about the protest itself are false and no protest was occurring outside the consulate ahead of the attack as the U.S. and Libyan governments are claiming.
We are learning more and more that the WH and State Dept are deceiving us.

Meanwhile, Barack goes on Letterman, hangs with celebrities. No comments on black flags going up at our embassies. No comments on what we knew and when. Let us hope the few remaining journalists out there uncover the whole truth.

There are no journalists remaining in the US. They are all Marxist propagandists these days.

I think the WH wanted peace so bad they made excuses among themselves for why it was happening.
Denial, pure and simple.

Or... and stick with me here... the News was unverified or deemed not credible based on other information Intelligence sources already had. It could also have been skipped over for a variety of reasons in general briefings.

But you know, the same arguments were used regarding the failures to to find WMDs in Iraq and look where that got us.

Then the US is being near the last one to admit they had warnings. The country who gave the warning came right out and said they did. The US denied it and also scrubbed the memo off the .gov site.

Too much backtracking now being done.
The WH now saying it could have been planned.
The State Dept saying it "erred" when it insisted that it's security was not outsourced.

Report: Ambassador Stevens Said He Was on an Al-Qaeda Hit List - Yahoo! News

Stevens reportedly feared he was on Al Qaeda hit list

Benghazi emerges as key recruiting ground for al-Qaida, US intel analysts say - Open Channel

And the Administration is still holding on that this wasn't planned. Not only was it planned but sure seems others were aware of the danger. Yet we are to believe our Government had no reason to make sure there was real security there, especially on 9/11 Anniversary?!?!

Incompetence. Time for the ever loyal, government backers to wake up. They are engaging in a cover up, for as long as they can to keep the truth from getting out.

The only good news out of all this is now Barack has been forced to actually attend intel briefings.
