"State Department Had Credible Information 48 Hours Before..."
Written by Daisy
Have y'all seen this:
The killings of the US ambassador to Libya and three of his staff were likely to have been the result of a serious and continuing security breach, The Independent can reveal.
Security breach, you say? Nooooooo.
American
officials believe the attack was planned, but Chris Stevens had been
back in the country only a short while and the details of his visit to
Benghazi, where he and his staff died, were meant to be confidential.
The
US administration is now facing a crisis in Libya. Sensitive documents
have gone missing from the consulate in Benghazi and the supposedly
secret location of the "safe house" in the city, where the staff had
retreated, came under sustained mortar attack. Other such refuges across
the country are no longer deemed "safe".
Some
of the missing papers from the consulate are said to list names of
Libyans who are working with Americans, putting them potentially at risk
from extremist groups, while some of the other documents are said to
relate to oil contracts.
According
to senior diplomatic sources, the US State Department had credible
information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and
the embassy in Cairo, that American missions may be targeted, but no
warnings were given for diplomats to go on high alert and "lockdown",
under which movement is severely restricted.
Here are some other interesting tidbits:
1.
Rocket-propelled grenades were used in the attack. (In other words,
spontaneous anger due to a movie usually doesn't involve
rocket-propelled grenades.) Huh.
2.
A lot of higher-ups believe that this wasn't about a film at all, but
rather revenge for the killing of an Al Qaeda operative during a drone
strike. And folks are calling for further investigation about Al
Qaeda's role in the attack. (I know, I'm shocked, because since Obama
became BFFs with the Muslim brotherhood, I just assumed we'd all be
singing John Lennon songs together by now.)
3. The "mortar accuracy" was just too good for regular ol' every day revolutionaries. Go figure.
4.
According to sources that witnessed the attack, the "30 or more" guards
didn't put up a fight. They basically abandoned their post. Double
huh.
And the most disturbing thing of all?
"America was warned of embassy attack but did nothing...."
Aaaaaaaand this administration still won't call this what it is. A TERROR ATTACK.
