Attack on US embassy in Benghazi pre-planned: Libyan Prez
The Mumbai First Post ^ | September 17, 2012

The attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi that killed American ambassador Chris Stevens was pre-planned and included foreigners, Libyan President said yesterday.

President of Libya’s National Congress, Mohamed Magariaf, in an interview to the CBS news aired yesterday said his government has arrested about 50 people, some of which are foreigners and connected to al-Qaeda.

“They entered Libya from different directions, and some of them definitely from Mali and Algeria,” he said.

“These ugly deeds, criminal deeds were directed against them, the late ambassador, Chris Stevens, and his colleagues, does not represent in any way, in any sense, the aspirations, the feelings of Libyans towards the United States and its citizens,” Magariaf said referring to the death of four Americans including the US Ambassador to Libya.

“The way these perpetrators acted and moved, I think we — and their choosing the specific date for this so-called demonstration, this leaves us with no doubt that this was preplanned, predetermined,” Magariaf said in response to a question.

“Definitely, it was planned by foreigners, by people who entered the country a few months ago, and they were planning this criminal act since their arrival,” he reiterated.

The security situation in the country he said is difficult, not only for the Americans, even for Libyans themselves.

“We don’t know what are the real intentions of these perpetrators, how they will react. But there is no specific particular concern or danger for Americans or any other foreigners,” he noted.

“We firmly believe that this was a pre-calculated, pre-planned attack that was carried out specifically to attack the US Consulate,” he said in an another interview to National Public Radio.

He didn’t get the memo from Susan Rice, and if he doesn’t get the story straight he won’t get his allowance either.

Doesn't matter:

1) The diaper-heads riot and murder because they hate the West and Hussein.
2) The diaper-heads riot and murder despite Hussein's bowing, grovelling, and pandering just because a two bit felon with a cameraphone and wifi made a movie.

Either way, jug-ears has the gravitas of a helium balloon.

The Libyan President is more honest than President Obama. Our enemy is not the Libyan people. Our enemy is Obama.

FEBRUARY 5, 2008 : (REPORT : AL QAEDA COMING UNDER INCREASED INFLUENCE OF LIBYAN NATIONALS) Dubai - According to US counter-terrorism experts from West Point’s military academy, the Libyan connection inside the terrorist group al-Qaeda is very strong and second only to the Egyptian and Saudi forces.
In consultations with West Point’s experts by Arabic language newspaper al-Sharq al-Awsat, the assassination of Abu Layth al-Libi, an al-Qaeda field commander, has not diminished these connections. After the Egyptian and Saudi terrorist forces which dominate the Jihadist movement. “There has been a recent rise of Libyans inside the al-Qaeda network,” explains terrorism expert Vahid Brown.

It can’t be true that the attack was premeditated ~ our government denies that(!) and is repeated by the mainstream media. That’s all that you see on TV .

Obama said so from his fund raiser in Las Vegas
Hillary said so from her grass skirt island while dancing with the natives.

If it was true , Zero would have known from his dailey Presidential briefiing /s

People who just get their news in 1 minute sound bites on the visual TV world beleive this propaganda because that’s all that they see.

Why don’t we have some CONSERVATIVE commentators on TV ?
Why don’t we have some CONSERVATIVE moderators for the Presidential debates ?
Why isn’t there some CONSERVATIVE voice in the media now that Fox News has abondoned us?
Why isn’t there some CONSERVATIVE voice from our representatives in Congress?

Double Darn !! I am preaching to the choir !

It's not the News Reports, it's who Reports the News.

Imagine what would be in the Headlines if a Republican President acted the way Obama has in this crisis.

1. A five minute statement in the Rose Garden regarding the four Americans murdered in cold blood followed immediately by a flight to Vegas to collect some Campaign Cash.

2. Apologizing to the Jihadists because some guy made an Internet Video critical of Islam.

3. That shameful “show” with the lined up Coffins of our murdered Citizens with the Cadillac Hearst's in the background and Obama at the Podium up front.

4. No protection for our Embassy Officials on the anniversary of 9/11, while discovering that we were warned repeatedly of possible attacks on our facilities.

5. Afghan Police and Soldiers “executing” our Soldiers on a daily basis.

6. Marines assigned to protect our Embassy in Egypt unarmed by order of the Obama appointed Ambassador, (that story is now being denied by the Military BTW). CYA mode...

8. The idiotic comments made by Obama’s U.N, Ambassador Susan Rice.

I am beyond disgusted. Add your own onto the list, I'm going to sleep. Big day at work coming up. Night all...

IMHO, the US today is more at risk from terrorist attacks than after 9/11, because so many Muslims now live here and our borders are less secure under this Administration than it has been in 12 years. Those who have prepositioning themselves, are now well entrenched and positioned to strike.

One truth must prevail, the tactics of terror are insufficient to bring down a nation, unless the nation unilaterally surrenders.

The violence of evil must be met with the violence of righteousness, justice, love and grace through faith in Him.

The terrorists were LED into the borders by Obama,
and weaponized by Holder and the DO”J” to behead,
murder and rape Americans in the HOMELAND.

The US Congress has encouraged this treason by being
as limp as a dead fish.

Well, if my country has taken steps backward I know many everyday Americans are better armed and better prepared for Jihid on our soil. Pray and reload.

How did the Muslim Brotherhood come to possess such high-grade intel about the US Consulate, its security detail, and the movements of ambassadors and diplomats?

The answer is obvious, but the MSM won't touch it.

Huma Albedin, Hillary's "right hand", had secret intel and passed it to her Muslim Brotherhood handlers.

It is the simplest answer, and is therefore likely to be the right one.
