CIA Confirms What We Already Knew: Al Qaeda Connected to Libya Attack Within 24 Hours

Somehow, Obama and Hillary missed all the signs.

From Fox News.

U.S. intelligence officials knew within 24 hours of the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Libya that it was a terrorist attack and suspected Al Qaeda-tied elements were involved, sources told Fox News — though it took the administration a week to acknowledge it.

The account sharply conflicts with claims on the Sunday after the attack by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice that the administration believed the strike was a “spontaneous” event triggered by protests in Egypt over an anti-Islam film.

Intelligence sources said that the Obama administration internally labeled the attack terrorism from the first day in order to unlock and mobilize certain resources to respond, and that officials were looking for one specific suspect. The sources said the intelligence community knew by Sept. 12 that the militant Ansar al-Shariah and Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb were likely behind the strike.

Further, an official said, “No one … believed that the mortars, indirect and direct fire, and the RPGs were just the work of a mob — no one.”

Yet a congressional source told Fox News that CIA Director David Petraeus, during a briefing with members of the House Intelligence Committee three days after the attack, espoused the view that Benghazi was an out-of-control demonstration prompted by the YouTube video. According to the source, this was “shocking” to some members who were present and saw the same intelligence pointing toward a terrorist attack.

If General Petraeus actually said that shit, he needs to turn in his uniform and get the fuck out.

Like I said:

The attack in Libya was a culmination of the rampage across the Middle East.

The so-called ‘Arab Spring’ started in January of 2011, and quickly dissolved into the standard violence, terrorism, and jihad associated with muslims.

There was already an attack on the embassy in Cairo.

In May, the U.S. embassy in Libya specifically requested extra security measures which was flat out refused by the State Department.  Obama was warned of an impending attack in Libya, but did nothing.

Anyone who thinks this was spontaneous has a shit factory for a brain.
