Libya storyline still crumbling

Fox News reports:

>>>The U.S. Mission in Benghazi convened an “emergency meeting” less than a month before the assault that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, because Al Qaeda had training camps in Benghazi and the consulate could not defend against a “coordinated attack” . . . .

Summarizing an Aug. 15 emergency meeting convened by the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, the Aug. 16 cable marked “SECRET” said that the State Department’s senior security officer, also known as the RSO, did not believe the consulate could be protected. . . .

According to a review of the cable addressed to the Office of the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Emergency Action Committee was also briefed “on the location of approximately ten Islamist militias and AQ training camps within Benghazi … these groups ran the spectrum from Islamist militias, such as the QRF Brigade and Ansar al-Sharia, to ‘Takfirist thugs.’” Each U.S. mission has a so-called Emergency Action Committee that is responsible for security measures and emergency planning.<<<

This is yet another contradiction of the White House narrative. (“While the administration’s public statements have suggested that the attack came without warning, the Aug. 16 cable seems to undercut those claims. It was a direct warning to the State Department that the Benghazi consulate was vulnerable to attack, that it could not be defended and that the presence of anti-U.S. militias and Al Qaeda was well-known to the U.S. intelligence community.”) If the president had spent a fraction of the time he is now play-acting as Sandy disaster commander to the deteriorating situation in Libya, would the pleas from Ambassador Stevens have gone unheeded?

You know who and what gave us Obama? Public enemy #1, MSM, gave us Obama. Their eight year reign of terror on GWB, finally broke the back of average Americans. The lies, exaggerations, innuendo, finally took seed and grew into vile hatred, for Bush and the Republicans, thus paving the way for a black racist, non-achiever, anti-american, marxist president. Here are just a few of the words that they spewed daily. Lets begin with NO WMDs, Valerie Plame, Guantanamo, AbuG, Katrina, waterboarding, Cheney, Rumsfeld, mission accomplished, big oil, daily body count in Iraq, high unemployment. These are just a few, they were repeated over and over and over, for eight miserable years.
