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.

The problem has never been the attacker - it's been the response (or lack thereof).

Our Commander in Chief left our people to die out there.

So take your pick - he didn't know, or he didn't care. I'm fairly ambivalent as to which form of ****up we're going to pursue here.

But how many of them were left-handed?

We can't criticize Obama's response until we know how many of them were left-handed.

We should probably have a better idea on November 3rd.

Like what is mentioned the CS Monitor link. Ari Fleischer pretty much nailed it.

Heh, who would have thought this ?

What did one Obotic hipster say to the other Obotic hipster? Do not accept the blame, lie about it.

Consulate

It was the embassies in Tripoli and Cairo that saw "spontaneous" protests over the video

This is for KCNaive, here is the testimony of the state dep't employee claiming they knew almost right away what was happening in real time (it's not Foxnews either). The reason Col. David Hunt was so upset in his interviews is because he understands the protocol and everyone up to the president is notified right away when the emergency button was pushed and this administration did nothing. They later lied and try to cover it up. This testimony was 2 weeks ago and you haven't heard much of any of this in the main stream media:

http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012...ghazi-hearing/

U.S. officials in Washington monitored the Sept. 11 attack on the American mission in Benghazi as it was happening. But don’t blame American policymakers for initially blaming the unrest in Benghazi on protesters.
Those are those are just two of the many contradictory messages coming from State Department employees as they testify before the House Oversight Committee, which held hearings Wednesday on the attack. But they’re not only only mismatches. Depending on which witness you believe, security at the Benghazi mission was either just fine — “the correct number of assets,” one State Department official said — or woefully inadequate.

“There was no plan, there was just hope that everything would get better,” one security official testified.

Charlene Lamb, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for International Programs, said in her*prepared testimony*(.pdf) that she had a firm grasp on what happened in Benghazi, starting mere moments after the mission came under assault.*”When the attack began, a Diplomatic Security agent working in the tactical operations center immediately… alerted the annex U.S. quick reaction security team stationed nearby … and the Diplomatic Security Command Center in Washington. From that point on, I could follow what was happening in almost real-time,” Lamb explained.

Oh the " Audacity of Hope " at it's finest.

He has let the men and the family of these fine men down in a very big way. Now the American people have been lied to, will they ever learn? Or is one's political views bigger than this horrendous scandal in the realms of politics ?

Right, so now Obama is soft on terrorists

There are quite a few different groups. The fact they used the generic name of a ansar al sharia obfuscates who really did it.

Of course they know what happened on the ground and of course they know who alerted who, what was said and when.

But they're not at all interested in letting you know that. Not until November 3rd.

Almost missed this. So a picture means we know who the person is. I guess the police don't need to show surveilance photos to the public anymore because a picture tells you who it is.

You are being a dipshit when it comes to this.

Does it matter? What about muslim terrorist for $400, alex. The one thing that seems awful clear to all is that it was NOT attacked by video-hating protestors. They knew that straight away. That had real-time video from the consulate cameras, the drone hovering above and the communications from the consulate & annex. You cannot argue with that unless your blinders are in the way.

Obama should have addressed the nation by now. He is the CIC for christ's sake.

He's whatever he needs to be until after the election is over. If he thought dropping a nuke on Benghazi would get him elected, he would have done it.

What does who did it have to do with the immediate lack of response to a distress call or the cover-up story about a provoked mob gone wild?

And yet I bet not 1 single Obotic hipster would revolt since the election is NOW?
