Classified Cable Reveals Embassy In Libya Warned Obama A Month Before Attack

The U.S. Mission in Benghazi convened an “emergency meeting” less than a month before 9-11, stating Embassy could not defend against Al Qaeda “coordinated attack”.

After Obama left Americans to die by the hands of Al Qaeda Jihadists whom he was arming with weapons and funds, a massive cover-up with complicity of the media continues.  It seems only ONE news outlet is willing to cover the story of Obama’s complicity of assassination of his own ambassador and Americans who defied orders to ‘stand down’ to rescue the mission staff.

Despite the continuing insistence that Obama’s regime had ‘no reliable intel’ of the danger the U.S. Mission in Libya, Catherine Herridge at Fox News uncovers a top secret cable sent almost a MONTH before the 9-11 attacks in Libya whereby the mission’s RSO Security officer stated that the Consulate could not withstand a coordinated attack by Al Qaeda Jihadists whom had training camps in Benghazi.

Obama and the State Department knew  Al Qaeda Jihadist groups were operating in Benghazi.  A flurry of intelligence reports were sent after the fall of Gadhaffi’s regime after a June 6 bomb attack on the Benghazi mission’s security wall and an attack on a Red Cross shelter followed by other assassinations by identified Jihad groups operating in the mountain areas around Benghazi.

Obama’s regime did nothing to reinforce or secure the Mission, even after actual attacks in June.  It kept a ‘minimalist’ position, most likely to facilitate the Fast & Furious -styled arming of Jihadist groups that Obama designated as ‘rebels’ against the Secular Dictatorships in the Arab world whom Obama was working to overthrow.  Reports that the Benghazi mission was serving as an arms cache depot to funnel SAMs/MANPAD surface-to-air missiles and guns to Jihadist ‘rebels’ in Syria adds to the suspicion that Obama let Ambassador Stevens die to bury and cover up his regime’s involvement in treason.

Classified cable warned consulate couldn’t withstand ‘coordinated attack’:

The U.S. Mission in Benghazi convened an “emergency meeting” less than a month before the assault that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, because Al Qaeda had training camps in Benghazi and the consulate could not defend against a “coordinated attack,” according to a classified cable reviewed by Fox News.

The U.S. Mission in Benghazi convened an “emergency meeting” less than a month before the assault that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, because Al Qaeda had training camps in Benghazi and the consulate could not defend against a “coordinated attack,” according to a classified cable reviewed by Fox News.

Summarizing an Aug. 15 emergency meeting convened by the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, the Aug. 16 cable marked “SECRET” said that the State Department’s senior security officer, also known as the RSO, did not believe the consulate could be protected.

“RSO (Regional Security Officer) expressed concerns with the ability to defend Post in the event of a coordinated attack due to limited manpower, security measures, weapons capabilities, host nation support, and the overall size of the compound,” the cable said.

According to a review of the cable addressed to the Office of the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Emergency Action Committee was also briefed “on the location of approximately ten Islamist militias and AQ training camps within Benghazi … these groups ran the spectrum from Islamist militias, such as the QRF Brigade and Ansar al-Sharia, to ‘Takfirist thugs.’” Each U.S. mission has a so-called Emergency Action Committee that is responsible for security measures and emergency planning.

The details in the cable seemed to foreshadow the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. compound, which was a coordinated, commando-style assault using direct and indirect fire. Al Qaeda in North Africa and Ansar al-Sharia, both mentioned in the cable, have since been implicated in the consulate attack.

In addition to describing the security situation in Benghazi as “trending negatively,” the cable said explicitly that the mission would ask for more help. “In light of the uncertain security environment, US Mission Benghazi will submit specific requests to US Embassy Tripoli for additional physical security upgrades and staffing needs by separate cover.”

This is almost a MONTH before the attacks.  Obama’s State Department under the direction of Hillary Clinton were well aware of the threat Al Qaeda and other Jihadi groups posed to the Mission, and as always – Obama’s regime REFUSES to answer questions about this unravelling scandal – instead sticking to a massive lie and narrative.

While the administration’s public statements have suggested that the attack came without warning, the Aug. 16 cable seems to undercut those claims. It was a direct warning to the State Department that the Benghazi consulate was vulnerable to attack, that it could not be defended and that the presence of anti-U.S. militias and Al Qaeda was well-known to the U.S. intelligence community.

In a three-page cable on Sept 11, the day Stevens and the three other Americans were killed, Stevens wrote about “growing problems with security” in Benghazi and “growing frustration” with the security forces and Libyan police. The ambassador saw both as “too weak to keep the country secure.”

Fox News asked the State Department to respond to a series of questions about the Aug. 16 cable, including who was specifically charged with reviewing it and whether action was taken by Washington or Tripoli. Fox News also asked, given the specific warnings and the detailed intelligence laid out in the cable, whether the State Department considered extra measures for the consulate in light of the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks – and if no action was taken, who made that call.

The State Department press office declined to answer specific questions, citing the classified nature of the cable.

Obama State Dept. Scrubs Memo Declaring No Security Threats For 9-11

Obama State Department sent out memo on 9-6 stating there was no threats from Al Qaeda or any other terrorist group, that memo is now scrubbed from the State Department website.

The Obama regime insists they had no warnings about any threats to U.S. embassies up to the attacks in Libya and Egypt.  On 9-6, OSAC – an advisory council of the Bureau of Diplomatic Security under the State Department issued a memo that stated the following:

Terrorism and Important Dates
Global
9/6/2012

OSAC currently has no credible information to suggest that al-Qa’ida or any other terrorist group is plotting any kind of attack overseas to coincide with the upcoming anniversary of September 11. However, constituents often have concerns around important dates, holidays, and major events, Often times, these concerns are the result of increased media attention to the issue, rather than credible evidence of a terrorist plot.

Screenshot of the memo from the OSAC website:

No updates or warnings were issued until right before the attacks began.  Even AFTER Al Gamaa Al Islamiyya and Islamic Jihad issued a statement on 9-10 that they were going to burn the U.S. embassy in Cairo to the ground (which they did).

The narrative from the Obama regime that they repeated Friday, was that they had no warning or any intelligence that an attack was pending, corroborating the memo from OSAC.  Even though Libyan officials confirm they warned the Obama regime an attack was coming 3 Days before 9-11, and Egyptian intelligence warned that Israeli and American embassies were going to be attacked by Jihadists on September 4th.

Nothing was done to secure or prepare the embassies in Egypt or Libya for what was warned to happen in advance.

The regime instead insisted the attacks were a surprise spontaneous protest as a result of a silly video that was posted on Youtube back in July.

The Speak with Authority blog noted the OSAC memo that was issued and the story was soon picked up by NRO and the Washington Examiner.  As stories and sources around the world now confirm that the Obama regime was warned in advance of the attacks but did nothing except insist there was no credible threats, there appears to be a shredding and erasing of documents, memos and proofs that Obama and Hillary Clinton ignored clear warning signs.

One has to wonder why?  Incompetence?

Or something more insidious?

There is no way to discern why, because the State Department and the Obama regime said they will no longer comment or talk about the embassy attacks with the media.

They are busy scrubbing evidence from record and the public eye.

 

Blood on Their Hands

No Marines.  No live Ammunition.  Obama and Hillary Clinton responsible for the ROE that left U.S. embassies without the means to defend themselves.

While Obama and his media get shrill in insisting that a silly video on Youtube is responsible for the attacks at U.S. Embassies in Egypt and Libya that left four Americans dead and the embassies in ruins, Breitbart reports that it was Hillary Clinton’s orders establishing new State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya, signed by the Secretary of State after the fall of Khadafi’s regime, that severely compromised the safety and security of murdered Ambassador Stevens and all American diplomatic staff in Libya.  In addition, those ROE Clinton signed, prohibited the Marines from providing security at any U.S. installation in Libya.

On Friday, Breitbart News said it filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the State Department to secure a copy of the State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya.   They conclude the State Department will stonewall their request, and resist release of the document until after the election. They go on to state they assert its contents will be just too damaging because the country will be able to see Hillary Clinton’s signature on the document that served as Ambassador Chris Stevens’s death warrant.

That is to be expected.  Especially after the Obama/Hillary Clinton State Department told reporters Friday afternoon that it won’t answer any more questions about the Sept. 11 attack on the consulate in Benghazi.

What makes hypocritical matters worse, is that the Obama regime has their own personal Praetorian guards, while our embassies have none as it is also reported that Ambassador Chris Stevens did not have a Marine detail in Benghazi, Libya. But White House Senior Advisor and Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett has a full Secret Service detail for her coming vacation in Martha’s Vineyard.

U.S. Ambassador Reportedly Raped & Sodomized Before Being Killed

Mob of Libyans that Obama praised for taking Ambassador Stevens to the Hospital, raped him before dragging his body through the streets.

“Libyans acted responsibly by carrying Steven’s body to the hospital…” – Barack Hussein Obama, 9-12-12

If the foreign news reports from the Middle East are correct, the Libyans whom Obama praised for “acting responsibly” before taking his body to a hospital, reportedly raped him before he was killed.

The Washington Times picked up a story from Lebanon’s Tayyar  news organization from an AFP source that states that murdered Ambassador Christopher Stevens, was raped by his captors before being killed.  The Libyan Free Press also televised the story:

UPDATE: Hmmmm – how convenient for Youtube to yank the Libyan TV video from their site.  Wonder if Youtube got a call from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff like American pastor Terry Jones did, and was “asked” to take down potentially offensive (and truthful) material?

Obama’s State Department earlier on Wednesday apologized to Muslims that they were offended by ‘irresponsible” Americans exercising their right to free speech, as the ’cause’ of the attacks is reported to have been due outrage over a Youtube video that insults the Prophet Mohammed.  That spin does not hold water when it is being learned that these attacks were planned well in advance and the video being used as cover to suggest the attacks were spontaneous.  Also learned was that the same Libyan Security forces that Obama praised so highly in his short address, gave up consulate personnel including Stephens, to the Islamists who ended up murdering them.

All of this happened nearly at the same time Obama was giving an address to salute the Arab Forum on 9-11 Tuesday.

What can be said better than the following picture that best describes the last few days with Obama?
