WASHINGTON — David H. Petraeus, the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency, told lawmakers on Friday that classified intelligence reports revealed that the deadly assault on the American diplomatic mission in Libya was a terrorist attack, but that the administration refrained from saying it suspected that the perpetrators of the attack were Al Qaeda affiliates and sympathizers to avoid tipping off the groups. Mr. Petraeus, who resigned last week after admitting to an extramarital affair, said the names of groups suspected in the attack — including Al Qaeda’s franchise in North Africa and a local Libyan group, Ansar al-Shariah — were removed from the public explanation of the attack immediately after the assault to avoiding alerting the militants that American intelligence and law enforcement agencies were tracking them, lawmakers said.

Hey Betrayus, you are lying again for your master.
He didn’t want to take any offensive OR defensive action so close to election after his “Obama is dead, GM is alive” and declaration that alqueda has disappeared.
I recall the perps posting / bragging on Facebook after the attack?
“If this is true,”
It’s not true, although you are right about the government thinking they can outsmart someone, it’s us they think they can outsmart. I am praying a lot of people are waking up and realizing what’s happening.
OUTSTANDING thread! President Plunder and General Disaster. Twin towers of TREASON.
Most of the sheep [those who voted for obama and Democrats] not only don’t remember the disclosure, they don’t give a damn about the disclosure.The only thing they care about is what the Democrats will steal from the rightful owners and give to them.
"I wanted Al Qaeda to think that I was dumb."
Yep!
On Dec. 8, 1941, the U.S. government announced that there was a spontaneous demonstration in the territory of Hawaii that damaged federal property and, unfortunately, cost several Americans their lives. The demonstration was linked to outrage over the latest Bing Crosby movie.
The director of that film, known to be a shady character, has since been arrested and jailed on unrelated charges.
President Roosevelt assures Americans that he has ordered a full investigation of the matter. He went on to say that the United States government had nothing to do with creating such a disgusting film and fully condemned all “On the Road” movies and fully understood the outrage these movies have caused, especially among the Japanese.
When asked if this were a premeditated, surprise attack, the President said he has ordered a full investigation into the matter but there was no reason to believe that the destruction of much of the United States Navy’s 7th Fleet could be linked to military imperialism in the Pacific.
Sure - the terrorists claim responsibility early on and we wanted to pretend we had no clue it was terrorism. I’m wondering if Zero purposely over-classified the truth of the matter to use it as a hammer if anyone dared speak the truth...
It's not just about terrorism, it's about protecting Islam and sliming America and free speech.
More malarkey!
Throughout our history we have lost our finest men on battlefields in foreign countries...for this?
“—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
It's not just about terrorism, it's about protecting Islam and sliming America and free speech.
Sharia markers and totalitarian treason coming at us. Fast and Furious.
Total crock, indeed. We’re supposed to swallow “We need to convince the terrorists we’re not onto them. I know, let’s call it a ‘spontaneous protest’ in reaction to a YouTube video that’s had five hits over the past six months. We’ll get everybody in the administration to pitch this klunker; the American people and the terrorists are so stupid they’ll both swallow it.”
Wow, keeping this a secret must be the same reason we have not seen any retribution, retaliation, or visible action by the US against those who murdered four American citizens.
This is like giving the enemy a license to kill Americans.
This needs to be the end of the Obama Administration.
Now we’re to believe our enemies are as dumb as our media?
