Obama Administration Knew Of Terrorist Threats In Libya Before Attack Says Congressional Subcommittee
So Clinton/Obama blatantly lied about the situation being a "spontaneous riot" and tried to stir up religious hate to cover up the truth. There's nothing to see here. Just yet another Obama administration cover up to hide its f'ups. Move along.
The Obama Administration, who for two weeks claimed the attack on US consulate in Benghazi resulted from crowd protesting anti-Muslim video, in fact knew of Al Qaeda terrorist threats before the attack which claimed four American lives in September 11 attack but denied US diplomat's requests for additional security.
The Obama Administration knew, before the September 11 attack in Benghazi Libya, that terrorists were responsible for the attack and not popular protests over an anti-Muslim video that got out of hand. The Administration's story that the attack resulted from street protests over a video trailer were an attempt to cover up terrorist involvement because reality contradicts the President's campaign claim that he has largely defeated Al Qaeda.
As far back as April, Obama Administration officials became aware of a long string of terrorist threats and attacks in Libya that lead-up to the September 11 attack in Benghazi that killed four Americans. American diplomats in Libya began asking the Obama Administration for additional security in Benghazi in the run-up to the Sept. 11 attack on the consulate but were "denied these resources," two congressional lawmakers said.
In a letter Tuesday to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah asked for more information on those requests for additional security and other concerns. The letter from the House Oversight Committee details a series of attacks and other security incidents in Benghazi that started in April, and asked the State Department what measures it took to address the threat. The Committee claims officials have told them of "repeated requests" for additional security.
The letter to Secretary Clinton states that, "Based on information provided to the committee by individuals with direct knowledge of events in Libya, the attack that claimed the ambassador's life was the latest in a long line of attacks on Western diplomats and officials in Libya in the months leading up to September 11, 2012." They added, "In addition, multiple U.S. federal government officials have confirmed to the committee that, prior to the September 11 attack, the U.S. mission in Libya made repeated requests for increased security in Benghazi. The mission in Libya, however, was denied these resources by officials in Washington."
