Obama knew 2 hrs after the Libya attack it was militants. Bother you?

[Megan]

Emails show two hours after the attack militants claimed responsibility and what was happening. The WH knew it was a terrorist attack, spun a different story and got caught in a lie.

Not good at all. No fog of war. No movie. Ok Obama lovers, spin away!

[Jo2]

Obama lovers don't care. It is worship. You know, how they claim we Christians do. The only difference is none of us would slob on Jesus love staff. Because we know gay is bad. Obama worshipers eat his shit and believe him when he says it's chocolate.

[Neil]

That's politics for you, Romney would've done the same, just like W, Clinton, Bush, and Reagan have done before.

If you truly against 'spin', you should support WikiLeaks.

[†PRAY â€]

His followers are somehow in a trance & believe he can do no wrong.
They ignore everything and just think he is great. They are blinded to the truth.

Everyone should be bothered. People need to take off their love glasses and grow up! They need to think for themselves.

Everyone in the middle of a conflict is a miitant. But why would Pres Obama not reveal that fact? What would he gain by doing so? What difference does it make if the attack was over the video or some other reason?

[uc410]

of course it bothers me. as does his whole administration
it is time for the lies to end...it is time for obama to go.
vote him out and vote for real change.

How could he not know? One of the men who was in charge of security for U.S. diplomats in Libya says he feared for their safety long before the attack last month on the consulate in Benghazi. Four Americans were killed in the attacks on the Libyan consulate, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. security team leader in Libya: "We needed more, not less" security staff. Wood first set foot in Libya last February to lead an elite, 16-man counterterrorism team. From the moment he arrived, he says he saw chaos. "Shooting instances occurred, many instances involved the local security guard force that we were training," he told CBS News. "Constantly, there were battles going on between militias, criminal activity and that became increasing danger as time went on as well."

A top State Department security official in Libya told a congressional investigator that he had argued unsuccessfully for more security in the weeks before Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed. Department officials instead wanted to “normalize operations and reduce security resources,” Senior State Department officials acknowledged to Congress on Wednesday that they had turned down requests to send more U.S. military personnel to guard diplomatic facilities in Libya shortly before the Sept. 11 attack that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. But Charlene Lamb, deputy assistant secretary in charge of diplomatic security, argued that security at the U.S. mission in Benghazi was appropriate for known threats related to the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States.

The first email, timed at 4:05 p.m. Washington time - or 10:05 p.m. Benghazi time, 20-30 minutes after the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission allegedly began - carried the subject line "U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi Under Attack" and the notation "SBU", meaning "Sensitive But Unclassified."The records obtained by Reuters consist of three emails dispatched by the State Department's The text said the State Department's regional security office had reported that the diplomatic mission in Benghazi was "under attack. Embassy in Tripoli reports approximately 20 armed people fired shots; explosions have been heard as well." The message continued: "Ambassador Stevens, who is currently in Benghazi, and four ... personnel are in the compound safe haven. The 17th of February militia is providing security support."

A third email, also marked SBU and sent at 6:07 p.m. Washington time, carried the subject line: "Update 2: Ansar al-Sharia Claims Responsibility for Benghazi Attack." The message reported: "Embassy Tripoli reports the group claimed responsibility on Facebook and Twitter and has called for an attack on Embassy Tripoli." While some information identifying recipients of this message was redacted from copies of the messages obtained by Reuters.

How can Obama and his minions claim ignorance of the situation is beyond imagination. Isn't it obvious the denials were to deflect criticism in order to be reelected.
