Sources tell Fox News that U.S. intelligence almost immediately knew the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya was the work of terrorists.
That weekend, however, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice, stated that the attack was spontaneous, and resulting from Muslims’ outrage over an anti-Islam film.
Only in the last week has the Obama administration begun to publicly declare that the attack was terrorism.
Bret Baier reports that the Obama administration actually labeled the attack as terrorism immediately in order to unlock certain federal resources to speed up the response. Intelligence officials immediately suspected involvement by elements of al Qaeda’s North African wing.

No doubt.
I want to know who sent Susan Rice out to lie multiple times.
An embassy or consulate is American territory. The Kenyan will not admit terrorists have hit America.

What took them so long?
They sent her out and she spoke as though she was actually in that intelligence loop. Ambassador to the UN involved in intelligence? What a joke. I can only hope this story keeps growing legs.
Nothing worse than a cover up by the most promised “transparent administration.”
Romney has been served with the winning hand.
He has to play it.
The White Hut stays as far away from what the sadistic attackers did to the Ambassador’s body before and after they murdered him.
They sodomized him at least twice.
A day late and a lot more than a dollar short.
The Libya Debacle - The more we learn, the more Benghazi looks like a gross security failure..
...In late August, State warned American citizens who were planning to travel to Libya about the threat of assassinations and car bombings.
And they berate Bush for not doing anything for 7 minutes...
I am surprised that the Administrations 10 day delay in calling the act as terrorism.
I thought for sure they were argueing whether or not to call it : “ WorkPlace Violence “
Benghazi was such a total security failure ,.. it almost looks like an “inside job”.
We lost our Ambassador
We lost confidential embassy records
We lost 2 former SEALS who may have been tracking weapons and missles which our State Dept. probably supplied
We lost 2 additional soldiers in the recovery attempt
We lost our list of local advisors / informants who are now know , and at risk.
