A series of internal State Department emails obtained by Fox News shows some some of the initial assessments of last month's deadly consulate attack in Libya, including one email within hours of the attack that noted that the group Ansar al Sharia had claimed responsibility.

Ansar al Sharia has been declared by the State Department to be a an Al Qaeda-affiliated group. A member of the group suspected of participating in the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi has been arrested and is being held in Tunisia.

The emails obtained by Fox News were sent by the State Department to a variety of national security platforms, whose addresses have been redacted, including the White House Situation Room, the Pentagon, the FBI and the Director of National Intelligence.

Fox News was told that an estimated 300 to 400 national security figures received these emails in real time almost as the raid was playing out and concluding. People who received these emails work directly under the nation’s top national security, military and diplomatic officials, Fox News was told.

The timestamps on the emails are all Eastern Time and often include the subheading SBU…which is shorthand for “Sensitive But Unclassified.”

The first email indicates that U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and other personnel were “in the compound safe haven.” Officials later discovered that Stevens and three other Americans had died in the attack.

The first email was sent at 4:05 p.m. ET with the subject line “U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi Under Attack (SBU).”

“The Regional Security Officer reports the diplomatic mission is under attack," the email reads. "Embassy Tripoli reports approximately 20 armed people fired shots; explosions have been heard as well. Ambassador Stevens, who is currently in Benghazi, and four COM personnel are in the compound safe haven. The 17th of February militia is providing security support.

"The operations Center will provide updates as available.”

The second email came at 4:54 p.m. ET, with a subject line “Update 1: U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi (SBU)"

“Embassy Tripoli reports the firing at the U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi has stopped and the compound has been cleared. A response team is on site attempting to locate COM personnel.”

The third email came at 6:07 p.m. ET and was sent to a different email list but still includes the White House Situation Room address and a subject line of “Update 2: Ansar al-Sharia Claims Responsibility for Benghazi Attack (SBU).”

“Embassy Tripoli reports the group claimed responsibility on Facebook and Twitter and has called for an attack on Embassy Tripoli," the email reads.

I'm not saying that at all. You yourself said noone knows what the circumstances are behind this. Should we just jump to judgement like everyone else is doing?

When I said "no one", I mean the general public. The FACTS coming out are what we have been told is not the truth. Thus the concerted effort from the WH to the MSM to gloss over this. Even as information trickles out that Obama dropped the ****ing ball in a major way we are told to just get over it.

What's worse is Obama has the audacity to accuse Romney and Co. of politicizing this when it is he who brought all this on himself.

No one is politicizing this. We are asking for answers and wondering why over a month later we STILL don't have a solid answer from the WH? So who is truly politicizing? The people wanting an answer or the people trying to gloss over it with multiple BS statements so it doesn't hurt their campaign?

It's pointless to make accusations of politicization of an issue that's in the hands of politicians.

I'm going with people like Darrell Issa that released names of people STILL working in Libya which can further put them in harms way and people like Lindsey Graham who seems to think this is a worse breakdown of intelligence than 9/11. They're politicizing this.

Really? Really? THEY are?

Some Democrats have questioned Mr. Obama’s handling of the Libyan attack, but they have tried to avoid letting it damage his political prospects ahead of the Nov. 6 election.

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, led by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat, has announced that it will hold hearings to try to get to the bottom of the situation — though they won’t begin until mid-November, or after the election.

Why wasn't there an official report within a month after 9/11?

What's that got to do with starting an investigation?

I seem to remember Bush getting bashed over "7 minutes". The Dems are purposely putting this off for months until they can blame their leader without any effect one way or the other.

If those documents had been classified, they wouldn't have been released. That is, unless the White House wanted to leak it for political purposes as they've been known to do. It's really rich for the Obama admin, supporters like you, and democrats in general to accuse people of politicizing national security issues.

The next time the Obama admin wants to avoid having a national security issue politicized, they should probably either tell the truth about it or find a way to address it without obviously lying to the country.

Just redact the names. It's not that hard, unless you're in a hurry to get this done before the election.

So your son, father, brother, was just killed in what is now factualy a terrorist attack. The President and his party tell you they will start looking into it AFTER the election, i.e. 2+ months after the incident.

I'm sure you would feel just warm and fuzzy that he was doing what he could for you.

Pretty sure there are people looking into sporto, I'm sorry if you're not happy that Obama hasn't publicly committed harakiri yet.

Let me repeat this for you...

This is exactly the bullshit I am talking about. You and your ilk are more concerned about how this may impact your re-election so you put it off then accuse others of politicizing when they demand answers.

KChiefer · 10-25-2012, 08:36 PM

Remember when McCain called for both campaigns to halt so they could deal with the financial crisis that was threatening the ENTIRE country?

Do you think both Obama AND Romney should halt their campaigns over the death of 4 people or just Obama?

Ah, yes well, you know, the President isn't obligated or anything. In fact I think it's damn good of him to put his election ahead of anything else. I mean hey, it was only 4 people and none of them were his family so WTF? ****ing tool.

No one is saying he has to put his campaign on hold. Quit reaching for strawmen.

What's stopping Feinstein from starting the investigation a month ago?

I'll tel you....she don't want to hurt her parties chance of election.

You should be damn proud of Obama and the Democrats.

KChiefer · 10-25-2012, 08:47 PM

Think we're at an impasse. Guess we'll just have to wait for the election and the report to play itself out. Let me know if you need any more glue for the hodgepodge collage you're are making.

PS: My glue isn't good for sniffing, so you won't get your next revelation from it.
