'Spontaneous' Meets 'Preposterous': Obama's Libyan Theory Under Attack.... What is your opinion?

The Obama administration
is doubling down on its theory that the attack a week ago on the U.S.
Consulate in Benghazi was a "spontaneous" act, despite the Libyan
president calling that idea "preposterous."

The sharply
divergent views on what led to the deadly strike in eastern Libya played
out across the airwaves Sunday and are sure to generate more questions
this week. In two interviews over the weekend, Libyan President Mohammed
el-Megarif joined other members of his government in declaring the
attack a planned assault, possibly by an Al Qaeda-tied group.

"The idea that this criminal
and cowardly act was a spontaneous protest that just spun out of
control is completely unfounded and preposterous," Megarif told NPR.

    It's amateur hour at the state dept.
    Their "unicorn- based" foreign policy has fallen on it's face like all things liberal, and we're going to have to clean up their mess once again.

    OBAMA HAS LOST ALL CONTROL. AMERICAN MILITARY SUSPENDS ALL JOINT MISSIONS WITH AFGHAN FORCES BECAUSE OF TERRORIST ATTACKS ON OUR SOLDIERS - It is quickly becoming apparent that Barack Obama has lost control of the situation internationally. Eight American troops have been murdered in Afghanistan in just the past few days by terrorists dressed as the Afghan soldiers our troops were supposed to be
    training, forcing the US Military to today indefinitely suspend all joint training activities, the supposed foundation of the Obama policy to pull troops out. This comes on the heels of attacks against America at our embassies and the debacle with Iran/Israel situation, and clearly shows Obama's foreign policy is a failure.

    A well planned, intentionally timed and successful terrorist attack that debunked Obama's foreign policy and national security credentials in one fell swoop. Obama doesn't know Shiite from Shinola.

    From what I've read, we partnered with an Islamic extremist in Libya to help in the fight against Qaddafi. Then, we took him out with a drone. The leader of these extremists called for jihad against the West. In Libya, especially in Benghazi, those extremists are all over the place. This was a well-planned and executed attack meant to coincide with 9/11.

    She still works for Obama for at least another three or four months. I'd pay money to know what's on her mind though. Hillary urged Obama NOT to dump Qaddafi and Mubarak. Sure they are treacherous bastards but they were keeping a lid on this type of thing and Hillary knew enough not to buy trouble. I'll bet her and Bill are excercising their eyerolls when together.

    Why can't people just accept that Obama is so far over everyone and knows so much that the rest of the world can't even understand him? Geniuses live in a whole different quadrant than the rest of us.
    The true reason is because the dumb sheep that follow Obama will believe anything he says even when a president of the country in question tells them other wise. It is a zombie state of mind that drives them, a twilight zone.

    Once again, Obama speaks in half truths. This initial assault in Benghazi was a planned terrorist attack, however, many of the other uprisings were spawned out of the rhetoric that was deliberately dispersed by the same terrorists designed to create a frenzy across the middle east. But perhaps the worst of all, Obama lies about it to the American people to protect his campaign. How can Americans give their trust to this man (and HIllary) for this despicable attempt at deception? And how can the media support this? Know your enemies, folks. Not all of them are abroad.

    It could have actually been both planned and spontaneous. Who's to say the release of the propaganda film wasn't part of the plan to provide cover for the actual terrorist attack with the terrorists knowing full-well how religious sheeple (of any faith) would respond to their propaganda against Islam. (The same religious based reactions happen in the USA (think Chik-fil-A) with the notable exception of an absence of terrorism ...)

    The spin coming from the MSM (yes Fox is the MSM) again takes an unsubstantiated position, from an unidentified "source" to create an us vs. them ideological campaign for ratings while presenting manufactured conclusions based on conjecture.

    Amb Susan Rice:

    "We do not have information at present that leads us to conclude that this was premeditated or preplanned," Rice told Schiefffer. She added that the U.S. will "want to see the results of that investigation to draw any definitive conclusions.

    "Based on the best information we have to date," Rice said, "spontaneous protests" began outside the Benghazi consulate after demonstrations erupted in Cairo about a anti-Islam movie trailer.

    "It looks like extremists elements joined in that effort with heavy weapons... and it spun from there into something much, much more violent," Rice said.

    Rice did not present any conclusion, just what they currently know and that more information is needed... C'mon people, get your heads out of the spin zone and think.

    Obamas blame and excuse administration is not selling well

    The whole thing is a response to Obamas creation the Arab spring. Obama, like all meth users is in denial.

    Drug test those in the WH and we will uncover the real problem

    The Al Qaeda linked group knew exactly what they were going to do, when and to whom. Obama keeps trying to deflect the truth that reveals the total collapse of his failed foreign policy. The entire Obama administration is one of the most pathetic group of liars I have ever seen. We are losing everyday now abroad, even in Afghanistan.
