The body count piles up under Obama's pro-jihadist policy. The attack on our embassy was an act of war. The slaughter of our US ambassador and three diplomats was an act of war. The President blamed America. The President blamed the Constitution. Obama blamed the first amendment. This is high treason. The enemedia exalts treason as patriotism, while demonizing freedom lovers and patriots. America, it is past midnight.

"House: U.S. Embassy in Libya asked for extra security, request denied" October 2, 2012 Washington Examiner

House investigators warned Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to expect a hearing into their finding that that American staff at the U.S. Embassy in Libya had their request for additional security denied by Washington officials.

“Based on information provided to the Committee by individuals with direct knowledge of events in Libya, the attack that claimed the ambassador’s life was the latest in a long line of attacks on Western diplomats and officials in Libya in the months leading up to September 11, 2012,” House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and subcommittee chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, wrote Clinton today. They dismissed out-of-hand the suggestion that the attack ever could have been regarded as a spontaneous protest gone awry.

“In addition, multiple U.S. federal government officials have confirmed to the Committee that, prior to the September 11 attack, the U.S. mission in Libya made repeated requests for increased security in Benghazi,” Issa and Chaffetz added (my emphasis). “The mission in Libya, however, was denied these resources by officials in Washington.”

The committee noted 13 “security threats” in Benghazi, including an attempt to assassinate the British ambassador to Libya.

UPDATE: Rusty Weiss: Did the White House Cover Up Ambassador's Murder Because They Were Warned of Attacks Months in Advance?

Takeaway: Multiple Israeli newspapers say the White House knew of threats on September 4th. The State Department issued a memo on the 6th stating that there were no credible threats. The consulate was attacked on the 11th. The State Department scrubbed that memo on the 12th. If we had actual journalists in this country, this would be an end-game scandal.
