What really happened in Benghazi

This has nothing to do with a video on U-Tube. BTW the terrorist that lead the raid which killed four Americans is a criminal we released from Gitmo back in 2007 (ie. Bush's fault). Why aren't we focused more on the fact that U.S. foreign policy is a joke? Instead, the media worries about what Romney said back in May or what Obama said back in 1998. Didn't we all know that 47% of the folks pay no income taxes, which BTW is totally legal under the current progressive tax system. Didn't everyone already know Obama wants "redistribution"? - Dan

What really happened in Benghazi
As the debate in Washington turns on whether the murderous
attack in Benghazi was “spontaneous,” or an “act of terror” by
radicals using Al Qaeda’s brand name, terrorist experts have
discerned a switch to new tactics by the most proactive Islamist
terrorist organizations.
Instead of fighting the infidel across broad territorial fronts, such as
Afghanistan, Somali and Yemen, the Taliban in Afghanistan, the raiders of the US consulate
in Libya and the Al Qaeda-linked Bedouin Salafists in Sinai were seen this week to be
working in small bands of heavily armed, well-trained special operatives.
They remain well hidden under the surveillance radar of Western and Arab counter-terror
services until they are ready to leap into action. Several groups then launch themselves at
several points of their targeted prey in wave upon wave.
DEBKA-Net-Weekly’s counter-terror sources report that the new tactic requires longer
preparation, including time for more precise intelligence about targets.
The small teams undergo very high-quality military training as special raiding units and
require top-notch command centers to coordinate their split sorties.
New tactics applied in Benghazi and Camp Bastion
In Benghazi, on the night of Sept. 11, terrorists of the radical Ansar
al-Shariah Brigade headed by Mohammed Ali al-Zahawy, a
branch of Al Qaeda in North Africa (AQAM), struck the US
consulate and murdered Ambassador Chris Stevens and three
other diplomats. According to our intelligence sources, they split
into two groups of 10-15 gunmen each and struck in two waves:
In the first, they bombarded the US consulate building, counting on the ambassador’s
bodyguard hustling him out to a secret State Department safe house.
In the second wave, the gunmen used their foreknowledge of the vehicle carrying the
ambassador and the route to the hideout. They hid at a point along the route and waited for
the escaping car to go by. They then shot the ambassador and his bodyguards at close range
and dragged his body onto the street.
Four days later, on Sept. 14, in southern Afghanistan, insurgents organized in two-to-three
teams broke through the perimeter fence of the huge NATO Camp Bastion in Helmand
Province and went on a smashing rampage. They destroyed six AV-8B Harrier jets and
damaged two more, as well as demolishing three refueling stations and vandalizing six
aircraft hangars.
In their statement coalition military authorities referred to two teams, each consisting of 15
insurgents, who appeared to be “well equipped, trained and rehearsed.” The attackers were
armed with automatic rifles, rocket-propelled grenade launchers and suicide vests.
