Terror Threat Intelligence Not New-Agencies knew of threat to embassies, officials for months

An extremely profound statement. This administration has done more to endanger Americans than any external threat we've faced. To erode the trust of the people leaves a gaping hole of vulnerability. We've become a society that has nowhere to turn - except on itself.

Obama is a punk whose strings are pulled by a dangerous group of characters. His concern is only for his own luxuries and as long as they're being attended to, he could care less what's happening to this Country. I'd even go so far as saying in his perpetually offended little mind, he most likely feels we're getting what we have coming to us. His lifetime of grievance programming has paid off to his programmers, in spades.

“Report: Al Qaeda conference call led to US diplomatic closures”

Earlier this week, the press learned that an intercepted communication between al Qaeda honcho Ayman al Zawahiri and Nasir al Wuhayshi, who heads al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and is now al Qaeda’s overall general manager, is what caused the US government to shutter more than 20 diplomatic facilities.

Is there more to this story? Writing for the Daily Beast, Eli Lake and Josh Rogin report that the conference call included “more than 20 al Qaeda operatives.””

“Details emerge about talk between al Qaeda leaders”
By Barbara Starr

SNIPPET: “Now, two U.S. officials tell CNN that in his communication with al-Zawahiri, al-Wuhayshi, who is the leader of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), laid out a plan for a plot; then, al-Zawahiri acknowledged the communication. Al-Wuhayshi, the officials said, was not asking for permission from al- Zawahiri - but rather informing him of his plans.”

SNIPPET: “CNN has also learned that the al Qaeda leaders communicated via some kind of encrypted messaging system, with multiple points of entry to allow for various parties to join in.”
