A couple of hours into the Benghazi Attack an Al Qaeda backed group was claiming credit on their Facebook and Twitter Accounts, according to leaked State Department E-mails.

So much for blaming a stupid movie trailer.

Lesson No. 1. Don't throw the Intel Community under the Bus and blame them for your political problems.

Obama has been doing this since 2009 (with the exception of UBL). Paybacks can be Hell.

They likely claim credit for every attack whether they did it or not. It is the way it works. The US needs time to verify any truth to the claims. Nothing to see here.

Ignorant Roberta, that is not the way it works. There is honor amongst terrorist. They seldom claim "credit" for other's work.

I said this while watching the thing unfold

I actually said you could probably just do a quick twitter search and find the responsible party

There is honor among terrorist like there is honor amongst theives? Um, no. Groups claim responsibility fot stuff all the time. Most of the time it's just for publicity. I think the admin screwed up on this one, but the screw ups came BEFORE the attack.

Wrong, Before, DURING and After.

There was an AC-130 Gunship on the Ramp at Sigonella, an hour and a half away during the attack.

Had that bird had been in the vicinity the attack would have been disrupted.

Doesn't matter, there were emails that were ignored.

That Administration Foreign Policy is top notch.

Since 9/11 it is unusual for al-Quedia related groups to claim responsibility for attacks that they are not involved in. The WH knew that they were claiming responsibility, so there is no defense for the president to spend the next 10 days telling American people it was because of a video. No excuse, whatsoever.

But they're not done with their investigation.. Spare me that BS.

Look when the attack occurred the administration could've saved face by saying that the consulate had been attacked and details were not clear yet but as soon as it became clear a full report would be given.

Not: It was a youtube video.
Or: It was a spontaneous protest.

The admission of dropping the ball is better than trying to hide the fact you f'ed up.

But then again it occurred on BO's watch, so f*ck those guys that were there right?

Obama went to sleep knowing our people were under attack and did nothing. No response. No send in the marines. No mobilization of any military asset AT ALL. Very presidential. Just run out the re election clock. That's all that matters.

And that's the wrong mindset. As President you should want to defend and help all of your countrymen. Even if they would've gotten there too late, it would've been an effort.

That too.. I can't say if they would've beef up security we wouldn't had lost people, it's hard to say. Or if we would've sent in a team we could've saved them. One thing is for sure, doing something is better than sitting on your hands.

What we do know is this: Requests for security was denied numerous times.. We now know that emails were sent about the attack.. The blame has went from a Youtube video to it being called a sponteneous protest to a Blogger saying it was because the CIA had a compound there to Hillary Clinton admitting she didn't do anything to Obama saying it was a terrorist attack.

It's been a total cluster****.

Our administration has failed us yet again.

So, how did obfuscating about some damn youtube video for two solid weeks factor into their information gathering?

What intel officer told the WH it was a video. Or was that totally fabricated?

I don't think that's came out has it? I want to know how they found the video or if had been on their radar for some time waiting to be blamed for anything that might occur before Nov. 6th or if something happened if re-elected.

This........ POS just let'um die - then fabricated a lie to cover until after the election. All things are expendable for re-election.

Well let's play connect the dots:

They were sent.. Nothing happened.. Americans died.. There was an attempted cover up.

Yea they were ignored. Get your head off Obama's lap and maybe you can see what's happening.
