Barack Obama knew the Libya consulate attack was terrorism within 24 hours, yet still blamed the You Tube video while speaking in front of the United Nations
Today Hillary Clinton admitted what we knew almost from the beginning; the attack on the United States consulate was led by al Qaeda. In fact, she even admitted that evidence points to the fact that the attack was well planned out and wasn’t the spontaneous act the regime first reported. We can extrapolate from this that there is almost an admission by Hillary Clinton that the You Tube video had nothing to do with the terrorist attack on the anniversary of September 11th, because that video is what was supposed to have spawned this spontaneous attack, if the attack was planned the video can no longer be blamed. The whole lame excuse must be thrown out the window.
And if this story is true the Obama regime knew this almost from the very beginning. According to an unnamed source Barack Obama knew al Qaeda was behind the attack within 48 hours.
Within 24 hours of the 9-11 anniversary attack on the United States consulate in Benghazi, U.S. intelligence agencies had strong indications al Qaeda–affiliated operatives were behind the attack, and had even pinpointed the location of one of those attackers. Three separate U.S. intelligence officials who spoke to The Daily Beast said the early information was enough to show that the attack was planned and the work of al Qaeda affiliates operating in Eastern Libya. …
The intelligence officials who spoke to The Daily Beast did so anonymously because they weren’t authorized to speak to the press. They said U.S. intelligence agencies developed leads on four of the participants of the attacks within 24 hours of the fire fight that took place mainly at an annex near the Benghazi consulate. For one of those individuals, the U.S. agencies were able to find his location after his use of social media. “We had two kinds of intelligence on one guy,” this official said. “We believe we had enough to target him.”
Yet Barack Obama is still pushing the false narrative that a You Tube video sparked the attack when clearly the attack was planned well in advance of the airing of the You Tube video in the Middle East. In my opinion it is likely the You Tube video was a secret signal to al Qaeda that the attack was a go and the Egypt protest was a diversionary tactic while the main assault came in Libya.
While Barack Obama did say that the video was not justification for the violence when he spoke in front of the United Nations yesterday, he still did blame the video for the violence instead of the terrorists who committed the act. In other words he stood in front of the world and blamed an American for the terrorist attack. I find that to be deplorable.
This shows me that Barack Obama is looking at this through a political prism; he is more concerned with how this attack will affect him politically than he is with how the families of four dead Americans were affected by the attack. And he is more worried about how this reflects on him than he is about seeing that justice is served, especially in an election year.
So instead of admitting that Chris Stevens and the three other Americans are dead because he failed to listen to the warning signs and protect our fellow Americans he is shifting the blame for the deaths of these people on to some film maker who made a video that nobody had ever seen before.
If any American deserves blame for the deaths of these three Americans it is Barack Obama for failing to live up to his number one duty as president–protecting the American people.

You hit the nail on the head. If he admits these were pre-planned terrorist attacks he has to do something (militarily) about it. Just in front of the general election. Something the appeasers on the left detest. If he blames the guy in California for the attack, he gets a free ride up to the election.

Precisely, It was the WH that came out with the statement about the movie BEFORE anything had even happened in Egypt. Then when we got hit in Benghazi all the WH had to do is stick with the story.
The WH had this kind of tactic pre-planed which hints to their knowing about some kind of hit but like so much of this administration they have CYA contingency for everything.
Every administration should have contingency plans for every conceivable event but this administration does so with the intent of covering their own ass not that of the people.
Obama and his water carrying administration is detestable.
It was a terror attack on US soil with four dead to commemorate 9/11, the death of Ben laden and the US support of Israel during the Obama / Clinton watch pure and simple.
This is but the beginning. In the vacuum left by the weakness of the West the Arab nations will bring back the Caliphate and when that happens it will energize Jehad and topple every remaining Moderate Arab state.
A united Caliphate is the beast that was and is to come, who’s head was wounded unto death but healed. This beast is the God of fortresses, a God of War and this beast will bring war to the whole world.

That is an interesting thought Jim, perhaps Bill told Hillary to distance herself from Obama on this in order to preserve her credibility for 2016. Romney needs to hammer Obama on this but when he tried to he was nailed by the MSM and he hid in a corner and has nearly forgotten about it.

Considering that Hillary is the person directly responsible for denying security requests for our Embassy in Libya, she should RESIGN or be FIRED. Intelligence Reports confirmed over 200 Security incidents at the Libya Embassy preceding the 9/11 attack. Ambassador Stevens and his staff reported Al Qaeda elements with arms in the area, and made several requests for additional security.
The mythical MOB/Video Diversion was a direct attempt to blame the US and Free Speech, NOT a planned organized assault by Al Qaeda elements for the attack. There is only one possible reason for Al Qaeda’s successful assault on the Embassy, Gross Professional Incompetence. The Administration’s efforts to Cover Up their incompetence was the Mythical Mob/Video. By going before the United Nations and falsely claiming that the US and Free Speech was the root cause of the Libya Embassy attack, the President, Secretary of State and UN Ambassador have all compromised their credibility. Their efforts to lay blame for the attack on an innocent American citizen, exercising free speech was deplorable.

I agree with everything you wrote but Hillary is now claiming she did request more security and was denied by Barack Obama. So he is directly involved in the decision making as well and we need to hold him accountable.
