The Libya Attack: Who Knew What-When?

Who's on First?


Ineptness or deliberate falsehood?
According to this latest report, apparently, the administration did, in fact, have information (and enough common sense) to know that the attack on the Benghazi consulate was a planned terror attack.

However, this now raises more questions. If the administration knew within 24 hours that it was a planned terror attack, why did they keep telling the public for a week that it was a spontaneous protest that got out of hand due to that infamous video? If there was a Top Secret strategic reason involved, that might be understandable, but to tell the American public a tale they knew was false requires some serious explanation. They could have always said for a week that it was still under investigation and withheld comment. Instead, it now appears that we were lied to. If not, it points to a seriously inept administration.

Hells bells they had just spent a week at convention I'm sure bringing up OBL every chance they got - so really, we wouldn't expect them to readily admit they allowed 9/11/12 on their watch! But, I think it much more deep/dark than that.

OH yeah - and Bosch Fawstin would say something like - Obama does not lie - and Islam is the religion of peace.
