Obama Had Advance Knowledge of Mideast Attacks

Posted By Matthew Vadum On September 14, 2012 @ 12:54 am In Daily Mailer.

Although the Obama administration had “credible” evidence of this week’s deadly Islamist attacks on U.S. missions in Libya and Egypt a full two days before they happened, no effort was made to protect U.S. government personnel, The Independent reports.

The Islamofascist offensive took place on September 11, a day of great symbolic importance to both America and the Islamic world because it was the eleventh anniversary of al Qaeda’s attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The U.S. media, of course, seems barely aware of this symbolism because it has been focused laser-like on savagely attacking President Obama’s opponent, Republican Mitt Romney, for daring to criticize Obama’s foreign policy.

Senior diplomatic sources told the British newspaper that “the US State Department had credible information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and the embassy in Cairo, that American missions may be targeted, but no warnings were given for diplomats to go on high alert and ‘lockdown’, under which movement is severely restricted.”

Unfortunately, there’s much more bad news. Important secret papers are missing from the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and refuges for U.S. personnel across that recently liberated North African nation are no longer considered “safe.”

The AWOL documents are sensitive enough to make Julian Assange salivate.

“Some of the missing papers from the consulate are said to list names of Libyans who are working with Americans, putting them potentially at risk from extremist groups, while some of the other documents are said to relate to oil contracts,” the paper reports.

Americans have also been subjected to the grotesque spectacle of a dead envoy’s body being dragged around Benghazi. U.S. ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and at least three other Americans were killed in a firefight at the U.S. consulate in that city. Stevens was apparently tortured and may have been sodomized by his assassins in a ritual of humiliation popular among Islamic terrorists.

Libyan leader Mohammed Magarief promptly apologized “to the United States, the people and to the whole world for what happened” in Benghazi.

Although U.S. Marines are normally stationed at the full embassy in Tripoli, for reasons unknown, no Marines were guarding the facility in Benghazi. President Obama has reportedly since dispatched a contingent of Marines to Libya.

Despite President Obama’s curious statement about Egypt, that “I don’t think we would consider them an ally, but we don’t consider them an enemy,” U.S. officials in Cairo had been counting on increasingly hostile Egyptian authorities to protect the diplomatic compound. Hillary Clinton’s State Department reportedly ordered the Marines defending the embassy in Cairo not to carry live ammunition. At the Pentagon, Marines Lt. Col. Chris Hughes denied the report, saying, “No restrictions on weapons or weapons status [had] been imposed.”

At press time anti-American protests had spread to the Gaza Strip, Tunisia, Yemen, Iraq, and Bangladesh, and were still continuing in Cairo. Egypt’s Islamist President Mohamed Morsi has condemned the Benghazi assault but his critics don’t believe he was being sincere.

Initially it was reported that the attacks in Benghazi and Cairo were spontaneous, prompted by a movie trailer on YouTube for Innocence of Muslims, which offers an unflattering portrayal of the Prophet Mohammed. This is a convincing enough cover story because Muslims have rioted over far less. Muslims not only do not tolerate unkind cinematic depictions of Mohammed, they do not tolerate any cinematic depiction of Mohammed. (Watching The Message, a Muslim-approved full-length feature film from 1977 starring Anthony Quinn, requires an unusual degree of suspension of disbelief. Mohammed is a character but he’s not shown or heard.)

But now it is unclear if such a movie actually exists. Innocence of Muslims might even turn out to be a so-called false flag operation created as a pretext for Islamist attacks on U.S. interests. Hollywood figures are reportedly unaware of the film and the actors in the 14-minute Ed Wood-quality production now claim they were misled about the storyline.

The story gets stranger. The Wall Street Journal spoke to someone who called himself Sam Bacile. Bacile claimed to be the director of the celluloid schlock. The newspaper of record said Bacile “described himself as a 52-year-old Israeli-American real-estate developer, called Islam a ‘cancer,’ and said the film had been funded by Jewish donors to the tune of $5 million.”

Bacile, it turns out, may not exist. There are no records of him in the U.S. or Israel. Bacile’s telephone number corresponds to an address in Cerritos, California, which seems to be the home of someone else. Someone who answered the phone and might reside there reportedly may or may not be a man who did time in prison for bank fraud. And so on and so on.

An under-secretary named Patrick Kennedy at the State Department said the assault in Benghazi was carefully planned. The attack might have been payback for the U.S. killing of Libyan-born Mohamed Hassan Qaid (also known as Abu Yahya al-Libi), a senior al Qaeda official. Qaid was cremated in a drone strike in Pakistan three months ago.

Then again, maybe not.

Stateside, the apoplectic Obama-worshipping media has been pounding Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney for days for speaking truth to power.

In response to perceived Muslim anger over Innocence of Muslims, the U.S. mission in Cairo released a bizarre statement Tuesday condemning “the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims.”

Expressing the views of many Americans, Romney said it was “disgraceful that the Obama administration’s first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.”

In words that will likely come back to haunt him, President Obama, the man who once mocked Cambridge, Massachusetts police by saying they “acted stupidly” by arresting Obama’s close personal friend, told “60 Minutes” that Romney’s comment wasn’t presidential. Romney has “a tendency to shoot first and aim later.” This is the same thing that unlucky Jimmy Carter said of then-challenger Ronald Reagan.

Some might criticize President Obama for not seeming to care about national security issues and foreign policy.

After all, his wife, First Nanny Michelle Obama, just said that obesity is “absolutely” the greatest threat to national security.

And remember, as I reported in Subversion Inc., this is an administration that views each September 11 not as a solemn day of remembrance but as a Kumbaya-encrusted day of rainbows and unicorns. Obama’s September 11 observance isn’t about the murder of 3,000 innocent Americans by Norman Invasion-era theocratic totalitarians. In Obama’s words, it’s about “solving today’s most pressing challenges: clean energy, energy efficiency, health care, education, economic opportunity, veterans and military families.”

At the 2009 law-signing ceremony creating the “National Day of Service and Remembrance,” President Obama said nothing about 9/11, except in passing. He said he hoped that the generation of young people “that came of age amidst the horrors of 9/11 and [Hurricane] Katrina, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, an economic crisis without precedent,” would come forward and volunteer to work for “change.” And it’s never been clear why this National Day of Service has to be held – of all the 365 days in a year – on September 11.

President Obama, an avid golfer, doesn’t even show up for many of his regular intelligence briefings. His fans suggest the president is able to fully absorb the daily terrorist threat matrix by osmosis.

As Election Day draws nearer, now Governor Romney will be given daily intelligence briefings.

Chances are he’ll show up.

Let's hope some of it sticks this time...

Doubtless, once adults are again in charge of the government, most of it will. Obama missed the substantial majority of his own intelligence briefings, so hopefully, Romney will be a vast improvement.

Are you actually trying to propose that W was an adult? Rumsfeld? Cheney? Wolfowitz?

Absolutely the most adolescent bunch ever to haunt the White House.

Remember when Droopy was predicting Obama would lose in '08 despite all indications since literally before the beginning of the year was a decisive victory for Democrats? Neither does Droopy. Unfortunately, he lacks the intelligence and maturity to distinguish what he would prefer to be the case with what is likely to be the case. That explains more than these kind of election prediction posts, in truth.

Isn't it interesting how Droopy and his barage of Right Wing nut jobs treat vague anonymous sources as if they were credible and absolute?

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-MI) explained how right-wing media jumped the gun: "As chairman of the Intelligence Committee, I have seen nothing yet that indicates that they had information that could have prevented the event."

Now this is a Republican with every incentive to slam Obama for negligence. So if he wasn't aware of this so-called "credible evidence" then how can we slam Obama for knowing about it? And of course the White House slams that report as being patently false, but never mind all that. Droops and his Right Winger bloggers need their weekly BS to swallow uncritically. This is mostly just an attempt o take focus off the fact that their white knight Romney is falling hard and embarrassing the Republican party as a whole.

Anyone familiar with the timeline of events knows that it makes no sense to say this was planned by some terrorist organization just because it was 9/11. The violence was in response to an anti-Muslim film and it took place all over North Africa and Middle East. The slightest breach of security in any of these places could have just as likely lead to deaths. The intensity of the violence reached its peak shortly after Terry Jones performed a public Mocking of Muhammed. These Muslims were aware of his plan to do this and it was Jones' plan to do it on 9/11. Here is a rough timeline that these idiots at Frontpage/AmericanThinker choose to ignore.

July 2, 2012: A man claiming to be Sam Bacile, an Israeli-American real-estate developer in California, posts an English-language trailer to Youtube for Innocence of Muslims. The movie appears to have been screened only once, in a near empty theater in Hollywood sometime thereafter.

September 2, 2012: An Egyptian Arabic-language version of the trailer is posted to the same YouTube channel, according to the New York Times. The video has since been removed.

September 5, 2012: Morris Sadek, an anti-Islam Coptic activist, blogs about anti-Islam provocateur Terry Jones' plan to host an "International Judge Mohammed Day" on Sept. 11. The post includes a link to the film's trailer.

September 9, 2012: An Arabic-language newspaper begins reporting about the film's existence, attributing it to "vengeful Copts, accompanied by the extreme priest Terry Jones." (Translation via NYT). Sheikh Khaled Abdalla, meanwhile, broadcasts a clip of the film on Egyptian television.

September 11, 2012 6:11 am: The U.S. Embassy in Cairo issues a statement via Twitter condemning "continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims," an apparent response to growing attention in Egypt to the anti-Islam film. (Some of the embassy's tweet have since been deleted.)

September 11, 2012 1:42 pm: 1:42 p.m.: The Associated Press reports that Egyptian Islamist protesters, angry about the film, have scaled the walls of the U.S. Embassy and replaced the American flag with an Islamic one.

September 11, 2012 5:39 pm: Reuters reports that armed protesters are staging an attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

September 11, 2012 6pm: 6 p.m.: Terry Jones hosts his "International Judge Muhammad Day," a publicity stunt involving a mock trial of the prophet Mohammed and a screening of the "Muslims" trailer.

September 11, 2012 6:30pm: The U.S. Embassy in Cairo tweets that its earlier statement concerning the anti-Muslim film "still stands," but notes that it was made before the protests outside its walls began.

September 11, 2012 7:15pm: Reuters reports that at least one U.S. official at the Benghazi consulate has been killed.
