Leak reveals they knew Benghazi was 'terrorism' from the beginning

It's official...the Obama administration knew from the very beginning...

Reuters: Officials at the White House and State Department were advised two hours after attackers assaulted the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11 that an Islamic militant group had claimed credit for the attack, official emails show.

The emails, obtained by Reuters from government sources not connected with U.S. spy agencies or the State Department and who requested anonymity, specifically mention that the Libyan group called Ansar al-Sharia had asserted responsibility for the attacks.

The brief emails also show how U.S. diplomats described the attack, even as it was still under way, to Washington.

Administration spokesmen, including White House spokesman Jay Carney, citing an unclassified assessment prepared by the CIA, maintained for days that the attacks likely were a spontaneous protest against an anti-Muslim film.

While officials did mention the possible involvement of "extremists," they did not lay blame on any specific militant groups or possible links to al Qaeda or its affiliates until intelligence officials publicly alleged that on September 28.

Remember that second debate? Obama knew and lied about it.The email leak reveals that the attack went on for 7 hours, two of those American diplomats were killed later in the attack...and this administration did nothing to help. What about those aircraft carriers and submarines in the region, Mr. President? Better yet, the drones?!

Chuck Todd was talking yesterday about Obama 'requalifying'...I'd say this is a major DISQUALIFIER!
