(Vanity) Why was Libya Embassy Attacked if not because of the video?

So, since this was a terrorist attack, and not because of the video. Why Mr Obama , Mrs Clinton was the embassy attacked?

Has anyone DEM or GOP explained why?

This hit was a two-fer: Get the gay man AND the Infidel!

9/11 anniversary.

Retaliation for two AQ leaders recently killed.

They hate us. Great Satan and all that. Infidels.

AQ obviously not on its heels either.

Agree. Islamofascists love to murder gay men. Why do the Democrats insist on sending gay men into areas where being gay is tantamount to an eventual death sentence?

[Sacajaweau]

They love anniversaries.

And of course, GM is alive, Osama is dead was the match.

The first problem with your question is that they need a reason other then we exist. The gay thing is a red herring since almost all ME islamists are gay/bisexual in western terms. Buggery is universally ok. (bjs are verboten) Little boys are clean, women(like pigs and dogs are unclean) are just for procreation. The stupidity of the 7th century thinking of ME islamists is literally causing a reduction in IQ, and genetic survivability. One of the reasons muslims have to kidnap and enslave infidel females is their genetic pool is severely degraded. Centuries of marrying your first cousin will do that.

Lots of good reasons already posted, but there is one more and it has Obama and his team terrified. While Obama was asleep at the switch, the terrorists were watching and planning. This didn’t happen overnight and Team Obama never caught it.

There is one other reason, and I think it concerns Obama and his image: post 9/11, Bush kept us safe. This happened on Obama’s watch.

Why have you lied over the years and defamed an innocent man by telling groups your wife was killed by a drunk truck driver, when she was not.

this attack had nothing to do with the video and everything about local politics.

The area had some very bad guys (alqaeda types) in militias but most of the locals didn't like them. There were a lot of people on the ground who were "collecting information" on them, so that the gov't could shut them down.

This attack not only let the "bad guys" kill the popular ambassador (and stick their finger into the eyes of the US and Libyan government) but it resulted in the shut down of a fairly large intelligence gathering program.

I don't know if Obama pointed to the video to obscure the real story or not. But keeping up with the fake story was a mistake, since the internet let anyone with an internet connection connect the dots.

I hate to link to myself, but my rant connecting the dots is here.
