State Department Finally Admits Terrorist Groups Behind Benghazi Attack

Gee, we would have never guessed. All this time, Obama and Hillary kept blaming it on a video.

Paging the toadies at the New York Times: The jig’s up, assholes. You can stop with the narrative now.

The Ministry of Truth has released a new meme. Only this time, it’s actually the truth.

The Obama administration for the first time on Friday identified two militant groups in Libya, including one led by a former Guantanamo Bay detainee, as being allegedly involved in the attack in Benghazi that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

The department designated the two branches of the Ansar al-Sharia in Libya, those in the cities of Darnah and Benghazi, and a third branch in Tunisia as foreign terrorist organizations.

It also named Sufian bin Qumu, the leader of the Darnah branch, and Ahmed Abu Khattala, a senior leader of the Benghazi branch, as specially designated global terrorists.

And here’s a real knee slapper: One of the terrorist thugs responsible for the attack is a former inmate at GITMO.

A terrorist group led by a former Guantanamo Bay detainee was involved in the attack on the U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, the State Department said today for the first time.

Ansar al Sharia in Darnah played a part in the attack, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said today. That group is believed to be led by Abu Sufian Qumu, a Libyan former Guantanamo detainee who was transferred from a U.S. military prison into Libyan custody in 2007, according to cables unearthed by Wikileaks.

“Ansar al Sharia in Benghazi and Ansar al Sharia in Darnah had been involved in terrorist attacks in the past … that includes the Sept. 11 attack against the U.S. special mission and annex in Benghazi,” Psaki confirmed at today’s daily press briefing.

Psaki noted that the State Dept. has not affirmed that Qumu had any planning role in the attack. The State Department has maintained that the attack was not masterminded by extremists and arose amid demonstrations and political turbulence in the Middle East in response to a controversial video depicting Muhammad–a point contended by the Obama administration in the days after the attack and later questioned aggressively by Republicans in Congress.

“There is an ongoing [FBI] investigation, and we’re not asserting that these groups were the only two organizations whose members were involved in the attack, that those organizations pre-planned the attack while in advance or that these organizations are somehow more responsible than others,” Psaki said.

Qumu was a Libyan tank driver who served 10 years in prison, escaped to Afghanistan and trained at a bin Laden camp in the 1990s, fought for the Taliban against the Northern Alliance, and received monthly stipends from al Qaeda…

The U.S. decision to release any GITMO terrorists is plain fucking stupid. They usually pick up where they left off.

Personally, I like the ‘take no prisoners’ philosophy.

After months of lies, denials, blame shifting, coverups, spinning, intimidating witnesses, and sending an innocent filmmaker to prison, the mutherfucker finally tells us what we’ve known since 11 September 2012.

Hey Congress, when’s the impeachment?
