(CNSNews.com) - Sen. Lindsey Graham (R.-S.C.), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said on CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday that the U.S. intelligence community in Libya informed the administration in Washington, D.C., within 24 hours of the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that the attack had been a terrorist strike whose perpetrators included militia associated with al Qaeda.
Graham said the fact that the administration was still publicly declaring more than five days later that the attack may have arisen as a spontaneous protest indicated that either "they are misleading or incredibly incompetent."
"Well, the facts are there was never a riot," Graham told Bob Schieffer of CBS News. "The night in question, September 11, Ambassador [Chris] Stevens was being visited by the Turkish ambassador. There wasn't a soul around the compound. And the coordinated attack lasted for hours with al Qaeda-associated militia.

The whole thing was just an October Surprise set-up. Stevens was to be held hostage. The other three were of no consequence to the administration. Alive and free, alive and held hostage or dead, it didn’t matter. Zer0 wanted to be seen coming to the rescue just as Jesse Jackson got to do with a captured Navy pilot in Lebanon back in the 80’s....but it all went bad....while the administration watched....the ambassador was murdered and ALL the different slimeballs involved started scurrying about to cover their asses as the WH tried to have a blanket excuse - the video - cover them all.

here is a theory from Diplomad:
http://thediplomad.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-invisible-secretary-of-state.html
“Here’s a theory. It might be way off base, but I’m gonna throw it out for what it’s worth.
The National Command Authority (including the President SecDef, SecState and DNI at least, and probably a number of subordinate commands) were aware of the attack on our embassy in real time. (This is not theory — it has been substantiated.) Someone realized the attack was an act of war and urged response, but Obama (thinking “war with a Muslim nation this close to the election would not be good”) nixed that. Probably saying “we need more information.” The rest of the NCA nodded, a little angry but recognizing that Obama is not noted for leading from in front. Then they needed a cover story that did not recognize our sovereign territory had been attacked, and someone pointed out the handy coincidence of the riots in Egypt. That’s when it was decided to play that story up, to buy an advertisement in Pakistan, and to send Susan Rice out to the Sunday talk shows.
I know, its crazy. But possible. F

Not so crazy, at all.”
No, don’t look over there. No...no...no...keep your eyes on the mean, horrible video.
Lindsey needs to grow a pair. They are not misleading us they are lying. I am not sure if they are lying in an attempt to cover up their incompetence or their deliberate inaction. Lindsey should state it how it is. They knew these men were in danger long before September 11 and did nothing. On September 11 they provided cover for the terrorists beginning with their statement in Cairo and continued for several weeks. They watched and heard the men die in real time and did nothing.
Now they continue to lie.
It may be that they all sat and watched it, but I keep coming back to the question, “Why would someone attack this facility?”
If they wanted to kill the Ambassador to give America a black eye, why not just shoot him when he’s out running? They also wanted the intelligence documents. They wanted to know how close we were to finding the missiles and who was helping us so they (al-Qaeda) could kill them. This is about the missiles. The coverup is to protect the Democrats who set the stage for al-Qaeda to steal these missiles. It is the end of the Democrat party.
Yep, I'm sure Candy and friends will sift through the hundreds of questions the audience has - and find the eight that speak to abortion, birth control, gay rights, women's rights, etc... and some pity party crap... Ninety people in the audience might have written out a question dealing with these lies - but none of them will make it past Candy's selection process...
bet you you are 100% right
what missiles
tell me more
this could be right
geez
daily kos knows
They put that up on the 28th, from a story in the times published on the 14th. Which means, that we have been dealing arms to backdoor funnel arms to the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood rebels.
All of which gives credence to the notion that Ambassador Stevens was dealing weapons deals with Libyans in Benghazi- and then they must have decided to kill him....
Now, if the administration was illegally dealing in arms with the 3rd world, it is very convenient that their dealer got killed. Convenient indeed.
The administration apparently lied about it in order to justify the Muslim attack.
why did they decide to kill him? He was arming non-al quaida and al quaida decided to kill him?
A very good question.
(My theory) Obama slept right through attempts to wake him. Now they are trying to cover for him by saying it wasn't terrorism at all. Sheeesh.
Good analysis.
Time will tell.
Maybe.
