A Benghazi 'Smoking Gun'?



Ambassador Murdered In Benghazi Warned Consulate 'Could Not Withstand Coordinated Attack', Secret Cable Reveals -- Daily Mail

* Chris Stevens expressed concerns that Consulate was not adequately protected even on the day he was killed by Al-Qaeda attack
* Officials had held an emergency meeting three weeks earlier and asked Tripoli consulate for a strengthening of security
* Intelligence revealed ten Al-Qaeda training camps in the area as Libyan Government lost grip on the city
* It follows claims made on Facebook that President Obama denied SEALs back-up as Benghazi was overrun

Officials feared the US Consulate in Benghazi was vulnerable to a 'co-ordinated attack' and had convened an 'emergency meeting' just weeks before Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed in an assault by Al-Qaeda, a classified cable reveals.

Mr Stevens and three other Americans were killed in a six-hour, commando-style attack on the US Mission in the Libyan city on September 11, for which Al Qaeda in North Africa and Islamist militia Ansar al-Sharia were implicated.

My Comment: As predicted .... with Hurricane Sandy receding in the headlines .... leaks on the Benghazi disaster are now reappearing. One cannot help but sense that the Obama administration is playing for time in answering these allegations and leaks until AFTER the election. Kudos to a few British media outlets, FOX News, and a few milblogs for covering a story that is important .... while  (for their own reasons) most if not all of the main stream media has chosen to ignore and not investigate at all.
