State Dept. Says -Never Believed Attack on Embassy Result of Demonstration (Developing)
FOX | 10/10/12

Posted on 10/10/2012 3:20:09 AM PDT by CitizenM

Being discussed now on Fox and Friends. Newly released statement from the State Department, headed by Hillary Clinton, of course, says they never believed that the attack on our Embassy in Libya was the result of a film or a spontaneous demonstration. This directly contradicts the word of the Administration last month and statements by Obama, Clinton, Rice, and Carney.

Well, maybe 0bama was trying to discredit Hilary to ruin any future presential run for her in 2016.

On Sept 16, I proved conclusively there was no protest....THREE sources, two of them American, one of them from one of those killed.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2931897/posts

On the first lie, that the attack started as a protest, and that radical elements took advantage of the protest to launch an attack is TOTALLY false.

Sean Smith, was in the same building as the Ambassador when the attack started. He was online playing EVE and chatting with another game player. He never said anything about a protest outside the consulate. HERE ARE HIS WORDS FROM THAT NIGHT. “[vile_rat 9/11/12 12:54 PM]: assuming we don’t die tonight. We saw one of our ‘police’ that guard the compound taking pictures.” Smith was also known for his “interesting” and “morbid” sense of humor, something that is not unusual for those that have been deployed in war zones. No one knew at the time how prophetic his comment would be. Nearly two hours later, Smith typed: [vile_rat 9/11/12 2:40 PM]: F**K [vile_rat 9/11/12 2:40 PM]: gunfire He was disconnected from Jabber and never returned.

Read more: http://digitaljournal.com/article/332776#ixzz26duPX4MU Note he is worried about security two hours before the attack, but never mentions any protest, only gunfire.

Not only did Smith not mention a protest, but one of the ‘guards’ was interviewed in a hospital after the attack. Here is what he says about that night (note the hour of attack is off by one hour, I am not sure why, but could have to do with time stamp of Smith’s computer) The guard, interviewed Thursday in the hospital where he is being treated for five shrapnel wounds in one leg and two bullet wounds in the other, said that the consulate area was quiet – “there wasn’t a single ant outside,” he said – until about 9:35 p.m., when as many as 125 armed men descended on the compound from all directions.

The men lobbed grenades into the compound, wounding the guard and knocking him to the ground, then stormed through the facility’s main gate, shouting “God is great” and moving to one of the many villas that make up the consulate compound. He said there had been no warning that an attack was imminent.

“Wouldn’t you expect if there were protesters outside that the Americans would leave?” the guard said.

That is TWO sources who show there was never a protest besfor the attack, how about a third? It so happens a Doctor from Boston was in Benghazi and ON THE PHONE with the Ambassador’s attache when the attack began. Here is what he says about that night.

Just hours before Burke was scheduled to meet with John Christopher Stevens, the US ambassador to Libya, the US consulate was attacked. Stevens and three other Americans were killed, including Glen Doherty, a Winchester native and former Navy SEAL working for a private security company.

Burke’s colleagues had spoken with Stevens just 45 minutes before the attack, and Burke was on the phone with an embassy attaché when the shelling began.

“He yelled, ‘Oh my God, Oh [expletive],’ and then he hung up,” said Burke, who was in a hotel about a mile from the consulate when the attack began. “Then we heard these deep blasts. We didn’t know what was going on. Nobody knew if the whole city was being attacked.”

Also note that I told FReepers that two of the ex-seals were killed in a mortar attack on the safe house as well, that the attack started at 9:40 according to Sean Smith who died that night.

The only VERY important fact I reported early after the attack is that one of the ex-SEALS killed was part of an eight man rescue mission helicoptered in from Tripoli that night. The State Dept is still not fessing up to that part of the story.

Big Bird can straighten this out

Really! I guess now we know why the Dems were so upset about Romney's plans to cut Big Bird's salary. Big Bird must be running this Administration! Honestly, Their antics would be laughable if this wasn't so serious. What the heck is going on with these people? The Dems seem really totally demoralized and disorganized.

Here's the link just up on the story:

This State Dept/BHO Admin operation was supposed to be another get Osama type of operation that blew up. The shards are starting to be seen. The Obama re-election has been holed below the waterline. Who benefits?

Allah is a demonic god created by a pedophile who tells his followers to lie to and kill Christans (anyone not Muslim) and they will recieve 72 virgins in heaven if they die as a martyr. On top of that he copied and revised much of the history and teachings of the bible to distort it and fit it into his own belief systems in the Quran.

So tell me, who do you think is really God? Yahweh, a god who teaches love compassion and instructs us not to lie and kill and to treat others as ourselves or Allah? I haven’t seen Allah put his son on earth to o any miracles, heal the sick, raise the dead, walk on water, or feed the masses and teach them how to live in peace then actually die for our sins so that we would have a chance to be redeemed and live in the afterlife .

I realize the AntiChrist may be the s on of Allah and that the false prophet could have been Mohammed.
