New information suggests White House knew about pending attack on U.S. consulate in Libya
Red Alert Politics ^ | 9/18/2012 | By Francesca Chambers

As information on last week’s attack on the U.S. embassy in Libya continues to be released, questions about how much the Obama administration knew and when officials knew it are piling up.

On Friday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters the raid that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and two other Americans was “in response not to United States policy, and not to, obviously, the administration, or the American people, but it is in response to a video, a film that we have judged to be be reprehensible and disgusting.”

U.S. ambassador to the UN Susan Rice said echoed Carney’s explanation on Sunday, claiming that the attacks in Libya were a “spontaneous” response to a “reprehensible” video about the Prophet Muhammed released by an American filmaker, and were not a reflection of anti-American sentiment abroad.

The administration official described the incident as one in which “a mob was ultimately hijacked by a handful of extremists” on CNN’s ”State of the Union.”

“People gathered outside the embassy and then it grew very violent. Those with extremist ties joined the fray and came with heavy weapons, which unfortunately are quite common in post revolutionary Libya, and that then spun out of control,” she said on “FOX New Sunday.”

hillary: I don’t have time for this now. I see that cute little chick intern assigned to my office who I can munch (I learned how to keep ‘em quiet from bill’s mistakes).

obozo: I don’t have time for this now. I have to decide whether to use a sand wedge or a 9 iron on this short shot. Besides, I see that cute little dude intern assigned to my office who I can *censored* (I learned how to keep ‘em quiet from bill’s mistakes).

Dunno.

Frankly I think they were taken by surprise in this one.

They had warning, but didn’t do anything/allowed it to happen.

The backlashes and umay kill any false flag op they had planned.

The only surprise was that I don’t believe they actually thought someone would attack after Obama was so nice to them. This is typical Obama. He is always shocked that the world doesn’t bow to his greatness.

Bingo. This whole 47% thing is an attempt to Wag The Dog.

D-U-H???

Oh please, not all of us are watching Dancing with the Stars. We see what he's up to. He absolutely knew. He has a plan and it is falling into place. He wants the brother hood in power. He helped orchestrate the 'arab spring' to bring in the caliphate. Just look at all the nations now under the brother hood control and in the name of democracy. Yeah, righty-O. The WH is crawling with MBH subverts and soon Mr. Mursi will be smoozing with BHO, cashing in on more or taxpayers billions and planning the eventual takeover of Israel and Jerusalem, behind the blind&stupid American back. He may well be our judgement and lead us into downfall and destruction. The Bible says that any nation that entangles itself with the cup of trembling/ Jerusalem will be cut into pieces. Get ready to rumble because the nations are starting to gather and the strait of Hormuz is just the beginning.

And for the umpteenth time we’re hearing, “It’s under investigation.” As if those invovled can’t recall what they said or did without hints from the investigators. Just sick.

An extreme insult to the Country and agencies to fathom we were clueless.

To add injury to insult, the Marxists go after the 1st Amendment as a diversion. Good God — they’re brilliant!!!

This is not good for Team Obama—If this gets out he might not win as is predicted by Nancy P.

IF THIS STORY CAN BE CONFIRMED AND THE GOP PLAYS IT CORRECTLY, THIS COULD BE THE “SMOKING GUN” THAT INSURES VICTORY IN NOVEMBER.

Sorry for the caps. But it’s that important.

Headlines should read “Obama throws American Ambassador to the dogs”.

What does our press do? They listen to Jay Carneys lies and re[eat them as fact.

And the inaction of the SOS and the Administration is TREASON, plain and simple. They should be impeached and led out of their fancy offices in handcuffs.

Of course they knew, but if they came clean with it, Hussein would not have been able to go hang with Jay Z and Beyonce..

They’ve walked it back from “proximate cause” to “precipitating cause”. Richard Nixon was run out of the Presidency because his administration supposedly lied about sneaking a peek at some Democrat documents. This administration’s incompetence brought about the deaths of four Americans, including a United States Ambassador who represented all of us. And they’ve been lying about this to protect their political careers. Sorry Obama, if Nixon had to resign, then you need to resign.
