I posted the warnings did you not read them...?
Here you go again, now please pay attention this time.....
Pay attention as you school me with right wing half faxs and fantasy?
"Al Qaeda posted on muslim Internet sites they were going to attack,
Admin ignored.In the month before the attacks Ambassador Stevens twice turned down offers for additional security. On Aug 15th, less than a month before the attacks Embassy Benghazi notified the State department that it could not be defended and that specific need would be detailed under separate cable. Upon receiving this communication the region's senior U.S. military commander, Gen Carter Ham, acted immediately. he called Ambassador Stevens and offered more security. Stevens turned him down! ( this is the part you chose to ignore?) it goes further. Approximately two weeks later ( and less then two weeks before the attacks) Stevens traveled to Germany where he met with Ham personally. Ham again offered the additional security and again Stevens declines it. ( by my count that's twice that Stevens declined the offer for additional security). So where are you getting the administration ignored the warnings? Their man on the ground said he had it under control. Who else are they supposed to listen to?
Al Qaeda was flying their flags from rooftops around the Embassy prior to attacks,
Admin ignored.
And Stevens felt safe enough to do his daily runs through the city.
American consulate in Benghazi was bombed twice prior to the deadly attacks on the consulate on September,11.
Admin ignored.
Yes it was. Abassador Stevens felt so endangered by these amateur bombings he actually stopped his daily runs through the city for a few days. Then he resumed them. Obviously he felt safe.
Islamist militants posted threats to the consulate on Facebook prior to the attacks. Militants claimed responsibility for a May 22 attack on a Red Cross facility and called that attack a “message for the Americans disturbing the skies over Derna” in a post on the online social network.
Admin ignored.
Any idea what the Americans disturbing the skies over Derma meant? Derma is a place, a city, and we Americans were pissing off al Qaeda with our constant drone surveillance. So what do crazy people do? The attack folks who have nothing to do with the people pissing them off. And you are absolutely right, we ignored them and kept sending in the drones. What should we have done? Stopped the drones and apologized?
"Hundreds of al Qaeda rallied in the streets months before Benghazi attack; Obama admin did nothing
Did nothing except monitor the situation. What else would you have them do? Bomb them? Sec Stevens felt safe enough to jog though the city every morning.
When pressed about the lack of security at the Benghazi compound, former Secretary of State Clinton exclaimed, “What difference at this point does it make?” *
An off hand comment that just happened to be true. With the Embassy destroyed and our people dead, Clinton was pragmatically, and disgustedly saying what many people were thinking. No amount of investigation or Monday Morning quarterbacking would change the outcome. To understand where Clinton was coming from one must first understand the concept of what is and what isn't. The sec of state was speaking from the world of what is. It's conceptual thinking employed by many high powered A personalities. They live in the world of what is, not what if. As we all should know, the world of what if does not exist. Though many believe it does. More to the point Clinton was not in any way disrespecting the events or the those killed.
Actually, it makes a lot of difference. *We know know that not only was there a terror attack on the US facility Benghazi (something the Obama administration denied for weeks) but also the warning signs before the attack were clear and abundant.*
Where do you get these missfacts. Is there a missfact central website for Xright true believers? The president is on record for calling it what it was the day after it happened. Romney infamously stepped into that one on national TV. I though everyone knew this. Maybe you missed that debate? Regardless of all the parsing and diasecting of words the admin is on record about a week after the attack calling it a terrorist attack. Yet you cling to weeks in your timeline. The facts say you've got it wrong.
from IBD (emphasis mine):
Months before the murder of a U.S. ambassador in Benghazi, American intelligence analysts documented a massive al-Qaida rally a few miles from the ambassador’s residence.
At that rally, terror leaders called for the murder of American diplomats.
Three U.S. intelligence reports, unearthed by the American Media Institute and detailed here for the first time, offer vivid descriptions of the al-Qaida meeting.
Flying the black flag of al-Qaida, some 300 armed men gathered in Benghazi’s Al-Tahrir Square on June 7 and 8, 2012. They brandished machine guns, rocket launchers and a truck mounted with an anti-aircraft cannon.
The two-day meeting, which included outdoor prayers and a parade of armed vehicles, was attended by a baker’s dozen of North African al-Qaida affiliates.
"It was like a team pep rally before the game, only for jihad," said a U.S. intelligence analyst who monitors North Africa. "Organized and deadly. You saw what followed. People died."
In the face of these three reports, the*State Department continued to deny requests for additional security for the U.S. ambassador in Libya.
At the same time, the State Department issued a travel advisory warning Americans against going to Libya in August 2012.
Obama administration officials have long denied any warning before the Sept. 11, 2012, Benghazi attacks.
On the campaign trail, the president insisted that al-Qaida was “decimated” and “on the run,”*while intelligence reports prepared for the president’s advisers told a different story — that al-Qaida’s menace was growing in Libya and elsewhere.
They are decimated and on the run. That's not to say that they are still not dangerous. And again, because of the political witch hunt there is no knowledge of whether benghazi was a few locals who wandered off the reservation or was a long planned al qaeda attack.
The breakdown was one of foreign policy, not reacting quickly enough to the descension into lawlessness that Libya had become.
So, at the same time that Obama was jetting around on the campaign trail claiming “al Qaeda is decimated,” the terrorist group was*literally*rallying in the streets outside our facility in Benghazi. *
You left out as our ambassador was jogging thru those same streets.
The Obama administration had plenty of warning that a terror attack was coming; even a cursory look at the facts makes this clear. *What we still do not know is why they chose to do nothing about about it. *Their negligence resulted in the murders of four Americans, and today they continue to stonewall any attempts to investigate the events leading up to and following that fateful day.
Poor Richard's News - Hundreds of al Qaeda rallied in the streets months before Benghazi attack; Obama admin did nothing
We will NOT go quitely into the night!
HaHa!!!
