U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice said the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi was not premeditated, directly contradicting top Libyan officials who say the attack was planned in advance.
“Our current best assessment, based on the information that we have at present, is that, in fact, what this began as, it was a spontaneous – not a premeditated – response to what had transpired in Cairo,” Rice told me this morning on “This Week.”
“In Cairo, as you know, a few hours earlier, there was a violent protest that was undertaken in reaction to this very offensive video that was disseminated,” Rice said, referring to protests in Egypt Tuesday over a film that depicts the Prophet Muhammad as a fraud. Protesters in Cairo breached the walls of the U.S. American Embassy, tearing apart an American flag.
“We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the embassy to – or to the consulate, rather, to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo,” Rice said. “And then as that unfolded, it seems to have been hijacked, let us say, by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons… And it then evolved from there.”

Whatever. I don’t believe anything those people say.
She is a lying POS and she knows better.
She is only trying to protect Obozo and Der Hilderbeast.
More DemLies.
She’s a bonehead.
“We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the embassy to – or to the consulate, rather, to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo,” Rice said. “And then as that unfolded, it seems to have been hijacked, let us say, by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons… And it then evolved from there.”

She neglects that possibility that this scenario could describe a plan that didn’t look like a plan.
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice is a liar.
It wasn’t a muzzie 9/11 conspiracy? Explain all the other protests and uprisings all coincidentally on Sept 11., Tunisia, Algeria, Lebanon etc.
And we have these people as leaders?
The old saying: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”
Saying updated: “If you are a Democrat, tell a lie once and the media will run with it forever as fact.”
More and more under this administration I find myself scanning the foreign press more often for the truth. Telling!
Does she need a certified copy of the advance attack plan?
Does their lie benefit or hurt the Libyan government who insists that the attacks were planned?
Just wondering if Libya may come out more in public and say “I BEG to differ”
Forward; embarrassing America one lie at a time.
She recieved instructions from above, and hasen’t read the most recent memo. She is just following instructions from the State Dept. director , .. the amateur.
Hopefully, she isn’t a ‘career diplomat’ as she will soon find herself among the “ Occupy” folks.
For a diplomat:
to ignore the anniversary of 9 /11
to ignore the drone killing of AQ #2 recently
to ignore heavy armlaments,including mortars
to beleive this was a ‘flash mob’of 2000 people
This defies credibility !
The impeachment process would have already begun if this was going on under Bush.
Memo to Romney: “Suggest that John Boehner step down as Speaker of the House”
That alone should be worth 5% points
No, a forged one should suffice. Works for birth certificates.
She has no more business as our Ambassador than I have to being the POPE.
“We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the embassy to – or to the consulate, rather, to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo,” Rice said. “And then as that unfolded, it seems to have been hijacked, let us say, by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons…”
Rice is an Idiot!
The VC/NVA used to push women & children ahead of them when attacking our compounds in Vietnam. The only difference here is that the “clusters of extremists” did not have to push the “small number of people came to the embassy to – or to the consulate, rather, to replicate the sort of challenge...”
The “extremists” wanted to see if we would open fire, and, if so, create a few more “martyrs” to parade before to press & world diplomatic corps. Once they had determined our rules of engagement, they were free to execute their rules of engagement. ( “Kill all the Infidels! Obama will NOT retaliate.”)
