UN Ambassador Says Libya Attack Was Spontaneous

A deadly assault on a U.S. consulate in Libya was a spontaneous reaction to an anti-Muslim video, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said Sunday, even as Libya's president insisted the attackers spent months preparing and carefully choosing their date _ the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Unnerved by the rapidly escalating raid on Tuesday that claimed the life of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans, the Obama administration last week launched an investigation into whether terrorist groups had exploited outrage over an anti-Muslim video to trigger an attack long in the works.

Spontaneous my foot. They have been planning this as soon as they figured out Obamas's got his head up his butt. This was a well planned attack with info from the inside no doubt given to the terrorists. They came in armored vehicle with weapons. They breeched the wall, the Libyan guards hired for security scattered, knew right were to get ahold of classified into and also where the safe house was located.

Maybe maybe not. There's certainly ample evidence that some of these people can and will riot at any perceived insult. It's been an effective strategy for intimidation.

She's lying just like Obama and Clinton! Truth is emerging. NO protests were underway at the Libyan consulate when attacks occured.
I already knew this protest thing was suspious because no one protests outside of a consulate. They would be protesting outside the embassy in Tripoli.

Yep, they sure are lying. Now they have the whole Muslim world upset over a video that may not even have existed until the admin needed an excuse to cover theirselves for this attack.

Well the problem is, my friend, hardly anyone saw the video. Those muslims in that country don't get youtube so how did they see the video. YOU are part of the problem because you are so gullible and a Kool Aid drinker.

This was obviously a planned attack by all INDEPENDANT accounts.
If the media wants to repeat an excuse mantra every time the violence ratchets up, how about
" New violent attacks were launched today in response to Obama's repeated boasting of Osama Bin Laden's death" instead of a video that nobody saw.

Mossad plans events like these very far in advance

They get youtube over there, believe me! That's why it's called the "world wide web", get it? WWW? Get it? HUH? Think about it for an hour or two and get back to me. Don't think for one minute that they don't watch everything we do.

Yup, You should see all the Muslim propaganda on Youtube.
Hezbullah marches in Lebanon and Gaza. Search it.
Imam's preaching the hatred of jews and infidels (Americans) comparing them to pigs for the slaughter. Granting all MUSLIMS permission to kill them at their will with praise to Allah. "How to" instructions for an obedient wife including beating and torture, keeping them in chains.
There is even video of them teaching their young children that Jews are lower than livestock and should be killed without mercy.
And we WANT them involved in the World? The U.S.A.?
Why doesn't the Government censor that instead of the truth about Obama and police? TRUTH:
The Obama regime has more censorship requests with google than Russia and China combined.
I digress....
FACT: the cheezy really low budget muslim video has been out for months with no complaints. In contrast Bill Mahar's "Religulous"that garnered him death threats immediately from muslims over three years ago.

Not quite true. While the internet was available in both Egypt and Libya under the former regimes it was government run and restricted. When the uprisings broke out over a year ago, one of the first things to happen was communications were shut down including internet and capabilities were destroyed.
As of Sept a year ago (2011) according to Google Transparency report (current as of yesterday 9/17/12) in both Egypt and Libya "Google services are partially acceessible." In other words censorship is occuring just as it always has.
The bottom line is the government controled internet in these countries and others could if they choose to, blocked this video.

Just in recent days Pakistan and atleast one other country in the region have shut down YouTube.
Also if you look at Google traffic graphs you can see just after the uprisings traffic drops dramically (result of govenment shut down of internet), after awhile it picks up but is no where near pre uprising which can be concluded as internet has not been fully restored and not as widely available as before pre uprising.

You don't take heavy artillery to a spontaneous event. Only to planned ones.
