IMPLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY: Two
months after the deadly terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in
Benghazi, Libya in which four Americans were slaughtered, including
Ambassador Chris Stevens, the American people still have not been told
the truth about what happened by the Obama administration. Now,
overwhelming evidence shows the Obama administration knew that
terrorists were actively engaged in the attack as it was happening on
September 11th.

NEW YORK, NY
- A series of internal State Department emails reveals that within
hours of last month's deadly consulate attack in Libya national security
advisors report to Obama staff that Al Qaeda-tied group Ansar al-Sharia had claimed responsibility, according to reports by Fox News.
In
spite of the recently publicized emails, the fraudulently ensconced
Obama administration perpetuated a misleading narrative that the attacks
were not the result of terrorists, but rather caused by an obscure
internet video claimed by government officials to be offensive to Islam.
The
lie by the Obama administration that the video incited “spontaneous
riots” has been exposed after sources in Libya and at the State
Department said that there was no riot at the time of the attack.
Despite
the fact that the video has since been exposed as a fraud posted months
before the attacks, the video’s creator was arrested and detained after
charges of a parole violation were filed against him by federal law
enforcement officers.
To
date, no evidence has since been produced proving the video creator is
actually the individual responsible for the video or that he was in
violation of any parole conditions. His identity has been
kept secret leading many to believe that he may be a straw-man concocted
by the Obama administration as a scape-goat.
As reported by Fox: “The
emails provide some of the most detailed information yet about what
officials knew in the initial hours after the attack. And it again
raises questions about why U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice,
apparently based on intelligence assessments, would claim five days
after the attack that it was a "spontaneous" reaction to protests over
an anti-Islam film.
Ansar
al-Sharia has been declared by the State Department to be an Al
Qaeda-affiliated group. A member of the group suspected of participating
in the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi has been arrested and is being held
in Tunisia.
The
emails obtained by Fox News were sent by the State Department to a
variety of national security platforms, whose addresses have been
redacted, including the White House Situation Room, the Pentagon, the
FBI and the Director of National Intelligence.
Fox
News was told that an estimated 300 to 400 national security figures
received these emails in real time almost as the raid was playing out
and concluding. People who received these emails work directly under the
nation’s top national security, military and diplomatic officials, Fox
News was told.
The
timestamps on the emails are all Eastern Time and often include the
subheading SBU, which is shorthand for “Sensitive But Unclassified.”
The
third email came at 6:07 p.m. ET and was sent to a different email list
but still includes the White House Situation Room address and a subject
line of “Update 2: Ansar al-Sharia Claims Responsibility for Benghazi
Attack (SBU).”
“Embassy
Tripoli reports the group claimed responsibility on Facebook and
Twitter and has called for an attack on Embassy Tripoli," the email
reads.
Earlier emails did not go into who might have been responsible for the attack.
The
first email indicates that U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and other
personnel were “in the compound safe haven.” Officials later discovered
that Stevens and three other Americans had died in the attack.
The first email was sent at 4:05 p.m. ET with the subject line: “U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi Under Attack (SBU).”
“The
Regional Security Officer reports the diplomatic mission is under
attack," the email reads. "Embassy Tripoli reports approximately 20
armed people fired shots; explosions have been heard as well. Ambassador
Stevens, who is currently in Benghazi, and four COM personnel are in
the compound safe haven. The 17th of February militia is providing
security support.
"The operations Center will provide updates as available.”
The second email came at 4:54 p.m. ET, with a subject line: “Update 1: U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi (SBU)"
“Embassy
Tripoli reports the firing at the U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi
has stopped and the compound has been cleared. A response team is on
site attempting to locate COM personnel.”
The
emails on the day of the attack further challenge not only the initial
statements made by administration officials like Rice about the strike,
but also recent claims that they were only basing those statements on
the intelligence they had at the time.
State
Department official Patrick Kennedy recently testified to Congress that
anyone in Rice's position would have made the same statements about the
attack being spontaneous.
However,
the newly uncovered emails clearly state the involvement of a militant
group whose agenda is to establish an Islamic state in eastern Libya.
Despite
this, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney backed up Rice on Sept.
18. He said: "Based on information that we -- our initial information
... we saw no evidence to back up claims by others that this was a
preplanned or premeditated attack; that we saw evidence that it was
sparked by the reaction to this video." Carney went on to say "that is
what we know" based on "concrete evidence, not supposition."
