So Muslim rage over a Christian group's hate movie didn't inspire any acts of terror?

Documents add to evidence of security fears before attack on US consulate in Benghazi
excerpt --
House Republicans stepped up criticism of President Barack Obama on Friday over the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the U.S mission in Benghazi, Libya, releasing 166 pages of unclassified documents and photos that they said show administration officials repeatedly rejected “requests for increased security despite escalating violence … (and) systematically decreased existing security to dangerous and ineffective levels.”
The release of the documents, which came just days before Obama and Republican Mitt Romney discuss U.S. foreign policy in their last debate before the Nov. 6 presidential election, added to the political furor over the administration’s actions preceding the late-night attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, which claimed the life of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
---
One, a June 25 memo from Stevens, referred to incidents in Benghazi in which local elements attacked foreigners and specifically mentioned signs of growing al-Qaida sympathies in the city.
“(A) national security official shared his private opinion that the attacks were the work of extremists who are opposed to western influence in Libya,” Stevens wrote. “A number of local contacts agreed, noting that Islamic extremism appears to be on the rise in eastern Libya and the al-Qaida flag has been spotted several times flying over government buildings and training facilities in Derna (a city east of Benghazi). Other contacts disagree however suggesting that the attacks could be the work of pro-Gadhafi loyalists or individuals who have been politically and financially marginalized by the (Transitional National Council)."
Another document, a cable dated Sept. 11 and sent to the State Department by U.S. Embassy personnel in Tripoli only hours before militant Islamists attacked the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, indicated that staff had growing concerns over security provided by Libyan militias.
---
Separately, a senior U.S. intelligence official, who spoke with NBC News on condition of anonymity, said Friday that investigators still have not uncovered any evidence that the attack was preplanned.
"No one is ruling out the idea that some of the attackers may have aspired to attack the U.S. in Benghazi," the official said. "However, right now, there isn't any intelligence that the attackers preplanned their assault days or weeks in advance. The bulk of available information supports the early assessment that the attackers launched their assault opportunistically after they learned about the violence at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. Of course, other factors may also have motivated participation in the attack."

With respect to my democratic friends .. Houston, we have a problem. Without question, there are serious questions that need to be answered. Put away the politics and think as an American first. Even at this late date, they don't have answers. If this was Bush you'd be asking the same questions.
An a larger scale, republicans are just playing politics. Democrats and republicans have essentially switched roles. Republicans are asking questions they refused to answer during the Bush years and democrats are refusing to ask the same questions that demanded that republicans answer then.
As with every bullshit mindfuck story intended for dumbed-down Americans .. there's always a punch line ..

Benghazi attack: Libya’s Green Resistance did it … and NATO powers are covering up
exacerpt
The Resistance Grows
On March 18, 2012, in the Tripoli neighborhood of Abu Salim, a pro-Qaddafi stronghold, local members of the Green Resistance had a shoot-out with a pro-NATO militia group from Zintan led by one Mohammed El-Rebay. (Zintan is a province in Libya’s western mountains.) The Resistance managed to kill one of the Zintan terrorists, who had been using a Tripoli school as their base.
In April 2012, the Resistance detonated a roadside bomb beside a U.N. convoy that included Ian Martin, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s special representative for Libya.
On April 29, 2012, the lifeless body of Shukri Ghanem, Qaddafi’s former oil minister, was found floating in the River Danube. In May 2011, Ghanem had joined NATO, and he went off to reside in London and then Vienna.
On May 2, 2012, the Green Resistance claimed responsibility for assassinating Gen. Albarrani Shkal, a former military governor of Tripoli who had demobilized the 38,000 men of his guard and opened the gates of Tripoli to foreign troops during Operation Mermaid Dawn, the sacking of Tripoli that began on Aug. 20, 2011. (Tripoli’s nickname is “The Mermaid.”)
On May 15, 2012, Khaled Abu Salah, a candidate for the Constituent Assembly controlled by NATO, was assassinated near the oasis town of Ubari in southwest Libya.
On May 22, 2012, a rocket-propelled grenade targeted the headquarters of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Benghazi but caused only structural damage to the premises. The ICRC is headquartered in Geneva, and its foreign offices are often used as cover by Western intelligence agencies, such as MI6 or the CIA
On May 26, 2012, Mukhtar Fernana, head of the Military Council for the Western Region, survived an assassination attempt.
On June 5, 2012, the Resistance detonated a bomb in front of the U.S.-operated building in Tripoli, damaging its gates.
On June 11, 2012, in Benghazi’s al-Rabha neighborhood, the Resistance fired an RPG at a convoy that carried British Ambassador Dominic Asquith, wounding two of his bodyguards.
Back in July 2011, Abdel-Fattah Younis, the former Qaddafi loyalist turned “rebel” military commander, was assassinated. On June 22, 2012, the judge investigating the death of Younis was himself assassinated in Benghazi.
On July 28, 2012, Suleiman Buzraidah was killed in a drive-by shooting while he was en route to a Benghazi mosque. Buzraidah had been a military intelligence official under Qaddafi, but betrayed him to join the NATO-backed terrorists.
On July 29, 2012, Khalifa Belqasim Haftar narrowly survived an assassination attempt. Formerly one of Qaddafi’s army commanders, in 1988 he betrayed Qaddafi and lived for 23 years under U.S. government protection near CIA headquarters in Virginia. He returned to Libya during the NATO-led insurgency, hoping that after Qaddafi’s death, he would be made commander-in-chief of the Libyan military (controlled by NATO). However, he had to settle for third place in the hierarchy, and was given the rank of lieutenant general before the Resistance caught up with him.
Last month was an especially active four weeks for the Resistance. Security buildings and hotels in Benghazi were rocked by bomb attacks and attempted attacks. Foreign diplomatic staff and embassies were targeted. U.S. embassy staff in Tripoli escaped an attempted carjacking.
On Aug. 10, 2012, eight Resistance members escaped from the Al Fornaj prison in Tripoli after a coordinated attack. Gunmen in pickup trucks outside the prison shot at security guards, while prisoners inside set sections of the prison on fire and managed to overpower a number of guards. This was the third Resistance attack on the prison since the murder of Qaddafi.
On Aug. 18, 2012, the Green Resistance detonated a car bomb outside the Four Seasons Hotel on Omar Al Mukhtar Street in Tripoli. The target was a vehicle being used by Benghazi security officials – installed by NATO – who were staying at the hotel.
Afterwards, the NATO-installed bureaucrats sent heavily armed soldiers to prevent photographs being taken, and to forbid journalists from entering the area, so that word of the Green Resistance would not get out. A Libyan interior ministry official refused to comment further.
The following day, the Resistance set off more car bombs in Tripoli. One bomb was near the administrative offices of the Interior Ministry – controlled by the NATO powers. Two other car bombs exploded minutes later near the former headquarters of a women’s police academy, which NATO now uses for interrogation and detentions. The latter two bombs killed two passersby.
The next day in Benghazi, Aug. 20, 2012, Resistance members tossed a bomb into the car of Abdel Hamid Refaii, the first secretary of the Egyptian Embassy. This was outside Refaii’s house. However, the assassination bid failed.
The day after that, the then Libyan Prime Minister Abdurrahim El-Keib condemned the Green Resistance in a televised speech, saying: “Desperate and malicious forces among the supporters of the former regime are trying to create tension, send Libya backwards to violence and sabotage the country’s political process.”
Tripoli’s security chief, Col. Mahmoud Sherif, said Qaddafi loyalists were responsible for the spate of violent attacks. He ordered the arrest of 32 suspected Resistance members for interrogation.
Indeed, the police in Tripoli, who now work for the NATO powers, are constantly occupied with defusing car bombs set by the Resistance.
After the Resistance bombing of the former headquarters of a women’s police academy, the NATO puppets sent soldiers to raid a farm where Resistance members were holed up. Several of the Qaddafi loyalists were killed
One of the members who survived was alleged to have set up sleeper cells in Libya and to have been criss-crossing the border with Tunisia from where he and several comrades were smuggling weapons into Libya for the Resistance.
On Aug. 23, 2012, Abdelmenom Al Hur, official spokesperson for the Supreme Security Committee, installed by NATO, held a press conference in which he admitted that Qaddafi loyalists had penetrated many official security units. He said that a whole barracks full of heavy armaments was under the control of a pro-Qaddafi cell that he called the Awfia Brigade. (The group’s members call themselves the “Martyr Qaddafi Brigade.”) The same Resistance brigade had briefly occupied Tripoli International Airport back in June 2012.
After the attack that killed Ambassador Stevens on Sept. 11, 2012, the Resistance managed to shut down the Benina airport in Benghazi, which the U.S. military was using as a drone base.
With the Resistance firing at U.S. drones, the airport had become unsafe. A Turkish Afriqiyah Airlines flight with 121 people onboard was forced to turn back to Istanbul.
Conclusion
The foregoing is only a partial list of Resistance activity over the past year, which has dramatically increased during the last three months, reaching a crescendo in August, and leading to the death of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens on Sept. 11.
The NATO powers had shifted their focus to destroying Syria and on continuing their preparations to destroy Iran, while letting their Tripoli bureaucrats handle the Green Resistance in Libya. Now, however, the NATO powers realize that Libya is far from subjugated and that they are being seriously tasked with crushing the Resistance before it gains critical mass.
The fierce resistance to the NATO invasion in Gaddafi’s home town of Sirte brought total devastation in October 2011. Its large Black population was targeted for persecution, imprisonment and death following the siege. Black Libyans, whether Libyan born or workers from sub-Saharan Africa, were especially loyal to Gaddafi because of his generous devotion to African unity and equitable prosperity.

What, no discernable pattern of resistance?
How stupid .. but they can tell you that bullshit because they think you are.
MSM is not going to tell you any of this or anyother unapproved truth .. because they also think the American people are stupid.
I agree with them.
Just like Vietnam, just like Iraq, juts like Afghanistan, noe just like Libya .. Americans are always surprised when people fight back against imperialism. We've never learned the limits of military power.

(The group’s members call themselves the “Martyr Qaddafi Brigade.”) The same Resistance brigade had briefly occupied Tripoli International Airport back in June 2012.
After the attack that killed Ambassador Stevens on Sept. 11, 2012, the Resistance managed to shut down the Benina airport in Benghazi, which the U.S. military was using as a drone base.
With the Resistance firing at U.S. drones, the airport had become unsafe. A Turkish Afriqiyah Airlines flight with 121 people onboard was forced to turn back to Istanbul.
Conclusion
The foregoing is only a partial list of Resistance activity over the past year, which has dramatically increased during the last three months, reaching a crescendo in August, and leading to the death of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens on Sept. 11.
The NATO powers had shifted their focus to destroying Syria and on continuing their preparations to destroy Iran, while letting their Tripoli bureaucrats handle the Green Resistance in Libya. Now, however, the NATO powers realize that Libya is far from subjugated and that they are being seriously tasked with crushing the Resistance before it gains critical mass.
The fierce resistance to the NATO invasion in Gaddafi’s home town of Sirte brought total devastation in October 2011. Its large Black population was targeted for persecution, imprisonment and death following the siege. Black Libyans, whether Libyan born or workers from sub-Saharan Africa, were especially loyal to Gaddafi because of his generous devotion to African unity and equitable prosperity.

What, no discernable pattern of resistance?
How stupid .. but they can tell you that bullshit because they think you are.
MSM is not going to tell you any of this or anyother unapproved truth .. because they also think the American people are stupid.
I agree with them.
Just like Vietnam, just like Iraq, juts like Afghanistan, noe just like Libya .. Americans are always surprised when people fight back against imperialism. We've never learned the limits of military power.
I wish we would just get out. I know it isnt going to happen,but I can always hope.

And as more information became available over the course of the next few days, Obama stated a number of times it was indeed a terrorist attack.
Why is it you refuse to admit as much?

An outright lie.
You have been shown over and over that Obama did indeed refer to the Benghazi attack as a n act or terrorism.
Your hard headed refusal to admit what's right in your face is your problem, not mine.
FIRST he believed it was a spontaneous uprising, THEN he received intel which caused him to change his opinion.
He did say so. On September 12th.
He FIRST referred to the Benghazi attack as an act of terrorism on Sept. 12th.
Are you going to pretend that a "generic spontaneous uprising and protest" CANNOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES culminate in an act of terrorism?
The fact remains that BOTH a spontaneous uprising AND a coordinated attack can end in an act of terrorism.
What happened her is Romney and his ilk have taken a horrible tragedy and attempted to coop it for political gain, just as you continue to do. Your word parsing and hair splitting won't score you any points in the long run. In fact your continued refusal to admit facts right in front of you further destroys your already suspect credibility.
A spontaneous attack that kills 4 people is indeed an ACT OF TERRORISM.
You can pretend otherwise, but the families of those innocent victims would disagree with you.

It's only going to get worse.
Obama is going to start droning Libya .. he'll kill lots of civilians. children and babies doing it .. and full scale war will ensue.
If Obama loses, Romney will do the exact same thing.
I know, my greatest complaint against Obama is that he is more like a Republican when it comes to militarism.

When it comes to foreign policy, he's George Bush .. on steroids.

because that didn't happen until two weeks later.....
Thats not what he confessed privately to the man that asked the question at the debate.....
President Obama, though, wasn’t done with Kerry Ladka. “After the debate, the president came over to me and spent about two minutes with me privately,” says the 61-year-old Ladka, who works at Global Telecom Supply in Mineola, N.Y. According to Ladka, Obama gave him ”more information about why he delayed calling the attack a terrorist attack.”
According to a personal one on one conversation with the president.....

Fine...now just provide the official transcript from the audio recording of the "conversation" and we'll take you at your word.
Otherwise it's just more unfounded, third-party hearsay.

Why should anyone provide you with any fucking thing, you left-wing hackazoid?
You've simply FAILED at every attempt to explain how Obama could have possibly blamed the terror attacks in Benghazi on a spontaneous uprising, but at the very same time, blame it on organized terrorism. The fact is, no explanation comports with logic. He couldn't possibly have said it was BOTH at the same time. He picked "spontaneous uprising" because that was the reason which made his administration least culpable and vulnerable to criticism, and that was the wrong pick because it wasn't the truth. When the truth came out, he tried to walk it all back, and you idiots tried to make a false claim about what he initially said. But it's too late for that, you can't take it all back, and expect the American people to buy your bullshit spin.
Take somebody at their word? You won't even take your own president at his word, you're running around trying to parse what he said and pretend he didn't blame the attacks on a fucking video....and that is WITH a transcript! Fuck you, moron, you don't deserve anything except to be slapped in the face repeatedly with your own stupidity.
