The assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi last month appears to have been an opportunistic attack rather than a long-planned operation, and intelligence agencies have found no evidence that it was ordered by Al Qaeda, according to U.S. officials and witnesses interviewed in Libya.

The attack was "carried out following a minimum amount of planning," said a U.S. intelligence official, who, like others, spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a matter still under investigation. "The attackers exhibited a high degree of disorganization. Some joined the attack in progress, some did not have weapons and others just seemed interested in looting."

Oh, so it wasn’t a terrorist attack after all? Glad to know these were friendlies, not terrorists.

Wow! This sure puts eggs on the faces of the republicans. No wonder Obama hesitated to blame Al Qaeda.

Best to talk about the jobs numbers and debt from now on.

Ambassador Steven’s reported Al Quaeda flags were seen recently. It also has been reported that the same flags were hoisted at the embassy following the attack. If it looks like a duck.

Reminds me of Hillary’s memory lapses in the Whitewater mess.

[donozark]

Ya. Just a gang of looters who showed up with mortars and knew how to employ them...

Nothing worse than trying to cover crap with crap.

[blueunicorn6]

Just some high-spirited boys out trick-or-treating.

I’m sure Romney is getting valuable input from folks in the know regarding Libya in prep for Monday’s debate.

But Al Obama was definitely involved.

[GOPPachyderm]

Yes! I have no independent recollection of that.

[Castigar]

They had to do this in advance of the final debate. It’s total bullcrap.

[bigheadfred]

Isn’t this more like treating the trick?

[Just mythoughts]

So who was the weapons source for these disorganized activists?
