[CrusaderFrank]

A terrorist attack....on 9/11...wow who'd have thunk it?

The Obama Kool-Aid Brigade still believes "it was about a video"

Now you see how something like Jonestown happens

 

[TemplarKormac]

Keep denying it you two. The facts are all there for all to see. No amount of spin from you will change that.

 

[TemplarKormac]

This e-mail straight from the State Department is the most damning:

More notably:

And:

“If the video was a cause, why did Beth Jones of the State Department tell the Libyan Ambassador that Ansar Al Sharia was responsible for the attack?”

-Representative Jason Chaffetz (R-UT)

 

[JoeB131]

Keep denying it you two. The facts are all there for all to see. No amount of spin from you will change that.

The only fact I see is that the whole world was blowing up over this video, and the immediate concern in the White House was to defuse the situation before a lot more people died.

Paperview listed ALL THE OTHER places where riots happened over this video. And it really did look there like we were going to see this being the spark that launched a second wave of revolutions in the region.

But, no, this is about how Romney was denied election because Obama was evilly trying to spin the story.

Really.

I know you guys need to believe that.

Here's a better question. Why did the Libyan officials try to pin this on Ex-Khadafy loyalists when they knew that wasn't true.

Again, strikes me that no one had a clear handle on what was going on.

You know, the attack being carried out by Ansar Al Sharia and the video causing the riot that made it possible are NOT mutually exclusive events.

The fact that the Ambassador just happened to be in Benghazi that day was an unhappy co-incidence.

Like I said before, you need it to be the video. It has to be the video, or your world will be turned upside down. That would mean that your guy is indeed fallible, that people within the Obama administration lied about the attacks, and were directly responsible for the issuance of these misleading talking points.

You keep referring to irrelevant topics, other people, anyone and anything that would keep people from acknowledging the facts of the matter. That e-mail I just posted from the State Department says a terrorist group was responsible for the attack, that it wasn't a spontaneous protest, nor was it because of a video.

Moreover, the Middle East was in the throes of the Arab Spring, which you two conveniently forget. I'm sorry, as much as you want me to be wrong, I have all the facts and the evidence. All you have is your emotions. Bush can't save you from the truth.

​

Yeah, and the fucking lying piece of shit administration is the reason those protests happened. Cause they were the ones that put out the bullshit story about a video, which made all of the middle east cause mass riots.

THE FUCKING FIRST ONE......that was not a protest but in fact a planned terror attack (maybe you forget even your pathetic liar in chief said it was a terror attack) in Benghazi.

They did not want to get caught. One for refusing repeated requests for more security. Two, they did not want to answer for the fact that they flat out refused to send any rescue in for the fear that it may backfire and the election was around the corner. It was all for political expediency and the left wing media even reported it like that. Highlighted by Chris Matthews and the rest of the praetorian media that protects everything democrat. They insisted they were murdered due to a video and the president went around apologizing for a film maker and HIS right to make a film. The fucking president knowingly apologized for our freedom of speech that we have, and he knowingly lied to the families of the slain by telling them there were going after the film maker. Of course, we will ignore the fact he was more concerned about getting to a fundraiser while our people were tortured and murdered over 8 hours. All to the willful ignorant delight of the moronic left wing voting base.

Liberals, your jedi mind trick is not working on us. You are all absolute disgraces.

 

[paperview]

Why is it so difficult to understand -- when it comes to crowds gathered / protests / attacks, it doesn't have to be mutually exclusive.

Sure, some where there to attack, some were there to protest, some where there watch, some where there to loot.

This isn't a difficult concept.

That video spurred shit everywhere with extremists and hard line Muslims freaking out because that video was like making a movie about Jesus fucking a pig, to them anyway.

Those nutcakes flip wigs if you depict their Prophet like that -- even in a newspaper cartoon, it sends 'em flyin...It did, in 54 Countries/locales.

Did some of them plan it prior? Sure. Crowds, nutcakes, crowds, encompass individuals.

"However, according to witnesses, a number of Libyans showed up on the day of the attack on their own to protest the video and, later, as a result of rumors that the Americans were killing protesters. Though Abu Khattala and members of Ansar al-Sharia were spotted at the scene, "Looters and arsonists, without any sign of a plan, were the ones who ravaged the compound after the initial attack," the Times reports."

You know, the attack being carried out by Ansar Al Sharia and the video causing the riot that made it possible are NOT mutually exclusive events.

The fact that the Ambassador just happened to be in Benghazi that day was an unhappy co-incidence.

Then why did Libyan intelligence officials immediately contradict the Obama administration's assertion that the attack was due to the video? When a leader (dictator or otherwise) with no heir or successor dies, it creates a vaccuum, instability, chaos and etc. So, could it be possible that due to the death of this dictator, the instability that ensued was responsible for the attack and not a video?

Moreover,

Did it also ever occur to you that this type of stuff was going on in Egypt? When Hosni Mubarak was ousted, terrorist cells clamored to fill the void. In the meantime violence and utter chaos ensued. So, you can't possibly blame all of that on a video, now can you?

THe first riot was in Cairo, not in Benghazi, and it was over the video. IN fact, the riot in Benghazi was after media reports came in from egyptian media.

When did I ever claim that Obama was "infallable". Or anyone else, for that matter.

I think Obama has a bunch of flaws and he's made a lot of mistakes. One of them was going along with the European Union's plan to oust Qadaffi, which started this whole mess.

The E-mail you posted just says that Ansar Al Sharia was involved. It does NOT dismiss the video being a factor.

Obviously, the Administration was walking a tightrope between condemning these terrible attacks but acknowledging that most of the Islmaic world was rightfully upset about this horrible video that portrayed Mohammed as a child molestor.

"Ansar al-Shari'a in Benghazi and Ansar al-Shari'a in Darnah have been involved in terrorist attacks against civilian targets, frequent assassinations, and attempted assassinations of security officials and political actors in eastern Libya, and the September 11, 2012 attacks against the U.S. Special Mission and Annex in Benghazi, Libya."

Moreover, the Times is playing cover for Hillary Clinton. You must be joking.

Obama: "Drink the Kool Aid, my Children. The attack on 9/11 that killed 4 American bumps in the road was over a video"

I can post facts and evidence all day. I'm game Joe, paper.

This is what contributed to the attack. The video was but a small and very insignificant player. The region was already unstable. Meaning the ingredients were just right for this attack to take place.

Instability in Benghazi

• In April 2012, two former security guards for the consulate threw a homemade "fish bomb" IED over the consulate fence; the incident did not cause any casualties.[32] Just 4 days later, a similar bomb was thrown at a four vehicle convoy carrying the United Nations Special Envoy to Libya, exploding just 12 feet from the UN envoy's vehicle without injuring anyone.[33]
• In May 2012 an Al-Qaida affiliate calling itself the Imprisoned Omar Abdul Rahman Brigades claimed responsibility for an attack on the International Red Cross (ICRC) office in Benghazi. On August 6 the ICRC suspended operations in Benghazi. The head of the ICRC's delegation in Libya said the aid group was "appalled" by the attack and "extremely concerned" about escalating violence in Libya.[34]
• The Imprisoned Omar Abdul Rahman Brigades released a video of what it said was its detonation of an explosive device outside the gates of the U.S. consulate on June 5, which caused no casualties but damaged the consulate's perimeter wall,[35][36] described by one individual as "big enough for forty men to go through."[37] The Brigades claimed that the attack was in response to the killing of Abu Yahya al Libi, a Libyan al-Qaeda leader who had just died in an American drone attack, and was also timed to coincide with the imminent arrival of a U.S. diplomat.[38][39] There were no injuries, but the group left behind leaflets promising more attacks against the U.S.[40]
• British ambassador to Libya Dominic Asquith survived an assassination attempt in Benghazi on June 10. Two British protection officers were injured in the attack when their convoy was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade 300 yards from their consulate office.[41] The British Foreign Office withdrew all consular staff from Benghazi in late June.[42][43][44]
• On June 18, 2012, the Tunisian consulate in Benghazi was stormed by individuals affiliated with Ansar Al-Sharia Libya, allegedly because of "attacks by Tunisian artists against Islam."[21]:31
• On the day of the attack:
  • Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri declared that al Libi's death still needed to be avenged.[45]
  • In Egypt, 2000 Salafist activists protested against the film Innocence of Muslims at 5pm EET (11am EDT) at the US embassy in Cairo.[46]
  • President Obama was attending a 9/11 ceremony in the morning, and in the afternoon he visited with wounded veterans at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for two-and-a-half hours about the time the Benghazi attack began.[47]
  • Two consulate security guards spotted a man in a Libyan police uniform taking pictures of the consulate with his cell phone from a nearby building that was under construction. The security guards briefly detained the man before releasing him. He drove away in a police car and a complaint was made to the Libyan police station. Sean Smith noticed this surveillance, posting on the internet "assuming we don't die tonight. We saw one of our 'police' that guard the compound taking pictures."[21]:34

After the attack, a Benghazi security official and a battalion commander had met with U.S. diplomats three days before the attack and had warned the Americans about deteriorating security in the area. The official told CNN that the diplomats had been advised, "The situation is frightening, it scares us."[48]
On September 14, CNN correspondent Arwa Damon found Ambassador Stevens' diary at the unsecured site of the attack. In it, Stevens expressed his concern about the growing al-Qaeda presence in the area and his worry about being on an al-Qaeda hit list. The U.S. State Department later accused CNN of violating privacy and breaking its promise to Stevens' family that it would not report on the diary.[49]

After a meeting to discuss the deteriorating security situation at the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, embassy officials in Tripoli drafted a cable on August 16 outlining the circumstances and specifying that security needs would be made known in a subsequent message. This cable, excerpts from which have been reported by Fox News, still remains classified. But after reading it, Army General Carter Ham, then the head of the U.S. Africa Command and thus the senior U.S. military official in the region, phoned Stevens and asked if the compound needed a special security team from the U.S. military. Stevens told Ham it did not, according to two government officials. Weeks later, Stevens traveled to Germany for an already scheduled meeting with Ham at AFRICOM headquarters. During that meeting, Ham again offered additional military assets, and Stevens again said no, the two officials said.[50]
Between 1998 and 2011, U.S. diplomatic sites were subjected to 13 deadly attacks in Nairobi, Kenya; Calcutta, India; Lima,Peru; Karachi, Pakistan; Bali, Indonesia; Karachi, Pakistan; Jeddah, Saudi Arabia; Damascus, Syria; Athens, Greece; Istanbul, Turkey; Yemen; and Peshawar, Pakistan.[51]

So what? If it is

a. common knowledge that Libya was swarming with extremists/terrorists etc., and

b. common knowledge that the Muslim world could be incited to riots etc., over material offensive to their religion,

what did it matter whether the attack was caused by the video, not caused by the video, or caused by some combination of the video and other underlying factors?

 

[NYcarbineer]

Why is it so difficult to understand -- when it comes to crowds gathered / protests / attacks, it doesn't have to be mutually exclusive.

Sure, some where there to attack, some were there to protest, some where there watch, some where there to loot.

This isn't a difficult concept.

That video spurred shit everywhere with extremists and hard line Muslims freaking out because that video was like making a movie about Jesus fucking a pig, to them anyway.

Those nutcakes flip wigs if you depict their Prophet like that -- even in a newspaper cartoon, it sends 'em flyin...It did, in 54 Countries/locales.

Did some of them plan it prior? Sure. Crowds, nutcakes, crowds, encompass individuals.

"However, according to witnesses, a number of Libyans showed up on the day of the attack on their own to protest the video and, later, as a result of rumors that the Americans were killing protesters. Though Abu Khattala and members of Ansar al-Sharia were spotted at the scene, "Looters and arsonists, without any sign of a plan, were the ones who ravaged the compound after the initial attack," the Times reports."

The President called it a terrorist attack the day after it happened.

All of your bullshit was debunked years ago. I realize you're late to this party because you're now trying belatedly to earn your rightwing nut new member badge, but jesus, listen to yourself.

 

[TemplarKormac]

From CBS's "Face the Nation" 5 days after the attack. Yousef El-Magariaf is the President of Libya.

BOB SCHIEFFER: Was this a long-planned attack, as far as you know? Or what-- what do you know about that?


MOHAMED YOUSEF EL-MAGARIAF: The way these perpetrators acted and moved, I think we-- and they're choosing the specific date for this so-called demonstration, I think we have no-- this leaves us with no doubt that this has preplanned, determined-- predetermined.


BOB SCHIEFFER: And you believe that this was the work of al Qaeda and you believe that it was led by foreigners. Is that-- is that what you are telling us?


MOHAMED YOUSEF EL-MAGARIAF: It was planned-- definitely, it was planned by foreigners, by people who-- who entered the country a few months ago, and they were planning this criminal act since their-- since their arrival.

A blatant dismissal of the facts. Your desperation is showing.
