Suspected ringleader in Libya attack scoffs at US in plain sight
nbc ^ | 10/19/2012 | DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK / NY Times

Witnesses and the authorities have called Ahmed Abu Khattala one of the ringleaders of the Sept. 11 attack on the American diplomatic mission here. But just days after President Obama reasserted his vow to bring those responsible to justice, Mr. Abu Khattala spent two leisurely hours on Thursday evening at a crowded luxury hotel, sipping a strawberry frappe on a patio and scoffing at the threats coming from the American and Libyan governments.

Libya’s fledgling national army is a “national chicken,” Mr. Abu Khattala said, using an Arabic rhyme. Asked who should take responsibility for apprehending the mission’s attackers, he smirked at the idea that the weak Libyan government could possibly do it. And he accused the leaders of the United States of “playing with the emotions of the American people” and “using the consulate attack just to gather votes for their elections.”

Mr. Abu Khattala’s defiance — no authority has even questioned him about the attack, he said, and he has no plans to go into hiding — offered insight into the shadowy landscape of the self-formed militias that have come to constitute the only source of social order in Libya since the fall of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi.

,,,

Although Mr. Abu Khattala said he was not a member of Al Qaeda, he declared he would be proud to be associated with Al Qaeda’s puritanical zeal for Islamic law. And he said that the United States had its own foreign policy to blame for the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. “Why is the United States always trying to impose its ideology on everyone else?” he asked. “Why is it always trying to use force to implement its agendas?”

Amazing.

Well, that’ll stop when Romney takes office. Cockroaches will hide a little deeper.

And you muslims trying to impose a worldwide caliphate are different how?

I'll bet Obama sends a team in to try and strike right before the elections as a last ditch effort to boost his poll numbers.

I hope not. It’ll end badly for our soldiers. The o’bidens have the military on auto-pilot; yes, even the osama takedown was an auto-pilot operation. I don’t think the o’bidens give our military operations a second thought.

If the US strikes and manage to kill this clown then Libya will go through a second civil war and oil prices will again skyrocket but if Obama doesn't order a strike then his weakness will be all too glaring for even a Lib to miss.

Without even a hint of irony.

I smell another set up. Over the last 4 years, how many terrorist have gone on tv to taunt America and NBC broadcasts it. They have recieved marching orders. I read yesterday (cant remember the site) that some military are questioning the draw down in security for an embassy in a dagerous country for an embassador with only 1 security guard on 9/11. They implied that the embassador was to be taken hostage without much resistance and, later, be exchanged for the blind sheik. I don’t know if that is true but it explains the cover up (if true). This site said that the 2 additional marines came to help and ruined everything. Is this guy taunting America so that Obama can exchange HIM for the blind sheik? I don’t know but this theory seems to be gaining ground. I just heard Judge Janine say that she has evidence that the 2 marines were there for a different reason and she can prove it. They were not expected to go save the Embassador. They began a fire fight and the rest is history.

Just trying to connect the dots. That’s all. How do you explain this story:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2947158/posts

or this:
http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2012/10/11/the-occams-razor-behind-the-coordinated-benghazi-attack-answers-to-the-confusion/

or this:

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/real-news-from-the-blaze-could-the-benghazi-attack-been-an-attempted-kidnapping/

There are a lot more of these articles.

The fact that NBC reported on ANYTHING terrorist related (along with MSNBC) should send up too many red flags to ignore.

Lets say there was the setup group for the kidnap/blind sheikh exchange. This guy was the head of the setup group. The prearranged cover story is the video. The setup Group gets mad when the Ambassador flees to the CIA safe house and they try to complete their part of the plan by burning him out unfortunately he dies of smoke inhalation. So this setup group leader trys to pick up the pieces by trying to get the Seals as ransom. This guy talks about directing traffic. Remember the Seal story about trying to be directed into a compound but smelled a trap. That was this guy trying to pick up the pieces of the hostage plan. My take this whole interview was a debrief code for the White House handlers working through Rice at the UN.

Knowing that NBC does not broadcast anything like this without the approval of the regime, I immediately have to figure out the end game (because there ALWAYS is one with these guys). I may be completely wrong about the reason for this subterfuge but I am not wrong when I say they are covering up something (and probaly something big...as they have spent a lot of political capital on this) We know Islamists want the release of the Blind Sheik. We know Obama was considering it. The embassador died in very questionable circumstances. The regime has beek trying to mislead us on the details of the attack. Why?

Here’s an article about Obama mulling the release of the sheik:

I can buy that without question. Obama’s story lacks creditability and his stooges who attempt to rewrite history support that. It takes really smart people to stage an event and our President just don't have them.

Exactly! It’s like the keystone cops when it comes to this stuff. The only thing they are REALLY good at is lying but, as my husband says, “It’s the cover-up that get’s them”. I am convinced there’s a cover up. I’ll even go a step further and say that at this point, it looks like they are even trying to cover up the cover-up!
