Intel Source Challenges Obama’s Account of Deadly Consulate Attack
An intelligence source on the ground in Libya told Fox News that there was no demonstration outside the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi prior to last week’s attack — challenging the Obama administration’s claims that the assault grew out of a “spontaneous” protest against an anti-Islam film.
“There was no protest and the attacks were not spontaneous,” the source said, adding the attack “was planned and had nothing to do with the movie.”
The source said the assault came with no warning at about 9:35 p.m. local time, and included fire from more than two locations. The assault included RPG’s and mortar fire, the source said, and consisted of two waves.
The account that the attack started suddenly backs up claims by a purported Libyan security guard who told McClatchy Newspapers late last week that the area was quiet before the attack. Fox News
Barack Hussein Obama and his band of ne’er do wells have done it again. They are trying to protect radical Islam by forwarding the excuse that the recent Embassy attacks were spontaneous and brought on over some obscure YouTube video, they were NOT.
Once again reliable Intel sources have pointed out that Obama is WRONG! Somehow, I don’t think that finding is going to affect the actions of the most USELESS President in American history nor will it deter his supporters.
In the spirit of *Fair and Balanced*; before George W. Bush ordered the invasion of Iraq because Iraq had, in GWBs opinion, WMDs that threatened U.S. interests and were complicit in the attacks of 9-11-01, Intel sources tried their best to tell Bush that it just wasn’t that way.
Presidents don’t like to hear views that are contrary to their own.
According to Col. David Hunt, security for the embassy in Libya had no ammo. Hillary wouldn’t allow it as State Dept sets ROE for all the embassies. Embassy had no Marine security, just local contract rent a guards. Epic fail for Obama regime and a giant CYA campaign.
And you know, strangely, I can find NO huge MSM outrage at the FACT that these Embassies were NOT protected by the USMC and none over the fact that ones that are were reported to be carrying NO ammo, on orders from State and the Ambassador…
When the scholars redefine *epic failure*, they will need to use only one word: Obama.
When I went to the US Embassy in London in 1980, there were Marine guards. England is the closest ally this country has and we had Marines stationed there.
Incomprehensible! No US guards at an embassy in a country which historically hated the United States. Our first war as a nation was fought against Muslim Pirates from Libya.
From the Halls of Montezuma
To the Shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country’s battles
In the air, on land and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
of United States Marine.
Tripoli is in Libya.
I can’t fathom a Marine NOT putting in for a transfer OUT of Embassy Protection Detail if all they are allowed to carry (for protection) is a metal club that LOOKS like an M-16!!!
Seems to me that it would be a lot like sending an Officer out on Patrol and telling him to unload his service weapon, just wear it for decoration…
It’s things like this from the Obama machine and the O-bots that work for him that make me wonder HOW Obama can have more than 10 points in ANY poll..
Fred, I too wonder how in hell that Empty Chair has been polling so well. It just doesn’t make sense….AT ALL. There has got to be something funny going on.
Then again, it’s not my country any longer. Maybe it’s ME who doesn’t get it….
Carter was a head in the polls until the last week in October. He appeased the Iranians, showed weakness to the Arabs and lost the election.
Obama should be dropping like a stone now, but the polls say he is strong. I wonder how they are skewing them?
An article in The Blaze outlines a few reasons:
Graph of Democrat Oversampling Shows Media Polls Skewed Toward Obama
“Blogger keithbacker at Battleground Watch sums up the graph this way:
The real take-away which I have mentioned the times I blog national polls is that many of those national polls are HORRIBLE for Obama, namely the ABC/Washington Post and CBS/New York Times polls where you have large Democrat over-samplings but rather small leads for Obama. This means if Obama doesn’t meet or beat his stellar 2008 turnout advantage he’s in for a drubbing on election day.
These over-samplings serve a few purposes but mainly drive down enthusiasm for Republicans while assisting the Obama campaign with ‘bandwagon’ supporters who simply like being on the winning team (they’re real and they count).”
I agree with Bob Mack. In the end, the only poll that will count is the one on November 6th.
The Mainstream Media is in the tank, all the way, for Obama. They will jigger the polling results anyway they have to — to get the results they want. It is fairly easy to do. As most of us old codgers remember they did the same thing in the 1980 election between Carter and Reagan. Remember how they made Reagan out to be an idiot? (And they didn’t even like Cater that much!) Today, however, the MsM is in LOVE with Obama! They’ll do whatever it takes to attempt to get Romney voters to stay home on election day. It’s disgusting and sickening, but that’s the way it is when the MsM is a shill for the Democratic Party.

There is no way that Obama’s account of what happened is true and we are beginning to learn the truth from people on the ground over there. Yet the media doesn’t even bother to question Obama’s position. Can you image what the reaction in the MSM would be if this happened under Bush?
Hang on to your hats:
Obama to send the Blind Sheik home to Egypt
Will the people rise up against the tyrant Obama now?
The people? The dumb as dirt libbers NEVER will, but We, THE PEOPLE that make up Conservative America MUST rise and fight, otherwise, this Obama bastard will not leave an America to fight FOR when he’s done…
It is so hard to see those pictures of a good and decent man struggling to live and being far to outnumbered to succeed. Then you think about how the president of this country doesn’t care. You just know it rolled off his back by the way he went on with fundraisers and parties. Three other good men died that day too although I haven’t heard as much about them. When I first heard the guards had no ammo I did think maybe that wasn’t true, but no with this administration, the worst things you can imagine are the things that are A-okay with them. What the heck saving on ammo will help reduce that debt.
I am sure it was George Bush who caused this!
