Fox News’ Catherine Herridge<\/a> is reporting that they’ve uncovered a cable marked “Secret” that describes an emergency meeting the staff had in the Benghazi consulate a scant few weeks before the lethal September 11th attack which warned that the consulate would be unable to withstand a coordinated attack from the scads of terrorist training camps that were in the area;<\/p>\n

According to a review of the cable addressed to the Office of the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Emergency Action Committee was also briefed “on the location of approximately ten Islamist militias and AQ training camps within Benghazi \u2026 these groups ran the spectrum from Islamist militias, such as the QRF Brigade and Ansar al-Sharia, to \u2018Takfirist thugs.\u2019\u201d Each U.S. mission has a so-called Emergency Action Committee that is responsible for security measures and emergency planning.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, we know how much of an impact that discussion of people on the ground had on Washington. If I’m not mistaken, since that meeting and the cable, the State Department withdrew military personnel from Libya who were previously designated to react to security threats. <\/p>\n

While the administration\u2019s public statements have suggested that the attack came without warning, the Aug. 16 cable seems to undercut those claims. It was a direct warning to the State Department that the Benghazi consulate was vulnerable to attack, that it could not be defended and that the presence of anti-U.S. militias and Al Qaeda was well-known to the U.S. intelligence community.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s pretty typical of all of this administration’s policies. Everyday is like today. If there’s no attack on the consulate today, there won’t be one tomorrow. Just like they were unable to prevent green-on-blue attacks in Afghanistan. When the possibility of an increase in attacks was foretold last year, they ignored it, resulting in scores of deaths of American troops this year, just to give the impression that US forces trusted the Afghans.<\/p>\n

Who knows what other information they’re sitting on today that will blow up in our faces and cost more American lives later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
