Fox News reports that their network obtained copies of State Department e-mails proving the Obama administration knew the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya was the work of an Al Qaeda-affiliated terror network and not a mob angered by an anti-Islamic video posted on YouTube.
A State Department e-mail sent to the White House Situation Room two hours after the attack reads, "Ansar al-Sharia (an Al-Qaeda affiliated terrorist group) Claims Responsibility for Benghazi Attack."
The administration's cover story, blaming the attack on a Libyan mob angered by an American-made anti-Islamic video, was obviously meant to deflect blame from the White House for the embassy's inadequate security, especially since the attack occurred on the eleventh anniversary of 9/11.
More troubling, the anti-Islamic video cover story was repeated by administration spokespersons, which included Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and prominently mentioned in a State Department apology commercial aired in Pakistan.
The administration cover-up involved California Sheriffs Deputies, who took the video's producer in for questioning by Justice Department investigators.
That means the deadly anti-American riots that erupted across the Muslim world, where protestors specifically mentioned the YouTube video as a motive, were the unintended consequences of a botched Obama administration cover-up.
During last Monday's presidential debate, moderator Bob Schieffer of CBS News asked Obama about the attack on the U.S. embassy in Libya. "Now with respect to Libya," said Obama, "as I indicated in the last debate, when we received that phone call, I immediately made sure that, number one, that we did everything we could to secure those Americans who were still in harm's way ...."
"The United States had an unmanned Predator drone over its consulate in Benghazi during the attack that slaughtered four Americans - which should have led to a quicker military response," CBS News reported last Sunday. Gary Berntsen, formally with the CIA, told CBS, "They [the Obama administration] stood, and they watched, and our people died."
Last Monday evening, Obama said, "What we need to do with respect to the Middle East is strong, steady leadership, not wrong and reckless leadership that is all over the map."
Obama's reckless cover-up lie led to violence that threatened the lives of Americans ... "all over the map."

During the battle of MIDWAY, during WWII, an American torpedo bomber unit attacked a Japanese aircraft carrier. Every single American plane was destroyed before they could attack the Japanese carrier. The Japanese were very excited that they had destroyed every American aircraft in that unit. But, one Japanese Officer, I think he was the Commander of the air units, was looking quite unhappy. Somebody asked him why he was so glum after they’d just shot down every American aircraft in that attack? He said, “They lied to us. The Americans have Bushido (Way of the Warrior). The following pilots saw the first planes being destroyed, but they kept on coming.”
We’re Americans. We keep on coming.

Statement by Secretary Clinton on the Attack in Benghazi
Press Statement
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
September 11, 2012
I condemn in the strongest terms the attack on our mission in Benghazi today. As we work to secure our personnel and facilities, we have confirmed that one of our State Department officers was killed. We are heartbroken by this terrible loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and those who have suffered in this attack.
This evening, I called Libyan President Magariaf to coordinate additional support to protect Americans in Libya. President Magariaf expressed his condemnation and condolences and pledged his government’s full cooperation.
Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind.
In light of the events of today, the United States government is working with partner countries around the world to protect our personnel, our missions, and American citizens worldwide.
I looked at the major news sites to see how they’re covering the Benghazi memos. Front page on FOX. It’s mentioned on CBS and ABC. Nothing on CNN, NBC or new York times.
If CNN, NBC and the new York times had been German in WWII and found out about the death camps and their crematoriums their headlines would have been.....
“GERMANS PROVIDING FREE GAS TO JEWS!”
“JEWS POLLUTING THE AIR WITH THEIR SMOKE, “
They’re nothing but oily shills for the Democrats.
I have been thinking about why such a dumb, obviously and easily exposed lie was told so loudly, so long and in such major venues. It made no sense until I hit upon this idea: maybe, just maybe this lie was not a direct cover up, rather maybe it was RANSOM. Perhaps there was a hostage situation and the price demanded was to appear in all these places denouncing this video and to arrest the maker of the video. If not, the hostage situation would be made public and inevitable comparisons to Carter would crop up. Perhaps there are even still people being held and these lies had to be told or their throats would be slit. This idea hit me when I heard Hillary once again making the statement about the video and it crossed my mind that it sounded like those forced ransom or POW statements. This scenario also helps to make sense of them running that ad on TV over there.
