Here are a couple of facts:
On June 4 the White House confirmed that the US had killed Abu Yahya Al-Libi - OBL's Libyan lietenant who had moved into Al Qaeda's #2 spot after Ayman Zahawiri after the Navy SEALs whacked OBL.
On Tuesday 9/11, a tape was released of Zawahiri announcing that Libi had been killed earlier this year by a US drone attack. The Zawahiri tape was made during Ramadan which ended in the middle of last month. Zawahiri called for his terrorist underlings to avenge Libi's death and especially exhorted Libyans to take revenge.
The attack in Libya was well planned and executed. It wasn't about a spontaneous protest against some ridiculous internet movie of Muhammad. The assailants came armed to the teeth, with among other things, RPG 7s. They knew that the US Ambassador was in Benghazi rather than Tripoli. They knew how to track his movements, and were able to strike against him after he and his colleagues left the consulate building and tried to flee in a car. As Israel Channel 2's Arab Affairs Correspondent Ehud Yaari noted this evening, you don't often see well trained terrorists participating in protests of movies.
Then there is the attack in Cairo. They were led by Mohammad Zawahiri - Ayman Zawahiri's brother. According the Thomas Josclyn in the Weekly Standard, the US media has been idiotically presenting him as some sort of moderate despite the fact that in an interview with Al Jazeerah he said said, "We in al Qaeda..."
Egypt's US supported Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi recently released Zawahiri from Egyptian prison. The same Barack Obama who has no time in his schedule to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu next week in New York, is scheduled to meet Morsi.
The Egyptian government has not condemned the attack on the US Embassy in Cairo. But Morsi is demanding that the US government prosecute the film's creator.
You may be wondering how some movie no one's heard of has caused such a hullabaloo. Well, as it turns out, the film was screened on an Egyptian Salafist television channel. Obviously the Salafists -- many of whom, like Zawahiri were released from prison by Morsi, wanted to stir up anti-US violence on the eve of 9/11. So if the film is responsible for the violence, a finger needs to be pointed to its chief distributor -- Al Qaida's Egyptian friends and members.
With these facts in hand, it is clear that the attempts to present these acts of war against the US as the consequence of some stupid nothing movie are obscene attempts to deflect the blame for these unwarranted attacks onto their victims and away from their perpetrators.

There is definitely no question that the attacks in both Libya and Cairo were planned to coincide with 9/11 and my heart goes out to those who were murdered in cold blood. Every statement by clerics and leaders in Egypt and Libya as well as Iran and Syria focuses on the hatred those countries have for the US. Yet,there is no doubt that Barack Hussein Obama is a sly narcissistic Muslim lover who is determined to sell out all would be allies and especially including Israel. His every mention of the Muslim Brotherhood is one of moderation and patience on our part. Obama cares nothing at all or perhaps doesn't realize that these people are simply using him to gain their own ends which includes subservience by the United States. If the latter is the case then he is a bigger fool then we thought. Throwing away an ally like Israel certainly shows his antisemitism and stupidity. Unfortunately it will mean nothing for the even stupider Jews who will vote for him once again.
You've stated nearly everything I was seeing but couldn't verify (and them some).
Obama's acting like it was less than a double invasion of US soil abroad.
And thank you for headlining the date. I cannot believe that US officials AND the US press have seemingly been hesitant to highlight that all this happened on 9-11.
I think BHO should unleash the full power of American apologists on the Muslim world. Even a national day of apology. Nothing short of this can wash away the stain of not being a Muslim. Oh wait..
Dear Caroline,
Great report, Obama will blame Israel for all the trouble. He will keep giving large sums of money to the Muslim Brotherhood. Of course it won't be reported on by the media. Liberals have one thing in common, throw more money at problems. If anyone suggested pulling there embassy out and cutting off all money. that person would be crucified, by politicians and media. There are friends we could support with the money, but the liberals here in America would not allow it. The hate America, hate Jews, hate God, crew are running this country out of existence. The media loves it. God bless you. Ivan
I am a fan of Daniel Greenfield/Sultan Knish and I think you will find his blog quite in line with what you have written.

Excellent article, I wish the American press would do it's job properly and actually report the news instead of fixating on the non-story of Mitt Romney daring to say what the President should have said.
Right on Caroline.
It's about the Islamic extremist and their hatred of Christian and Jews and the lack of moderate Islam to condemn their actions.
Wake up world before it's too late.
Obama refuses to draw the red line because he embraces Islam, the same reason he refused to aid the Iranian uprising right after he took office.
Make no mistake he is no friend of Israel.
What he fails to realize is G-d is on the side of Israel.
Thank you once again, Caroline, for your clarity. Woe to those who simply keep their eyes closed. I am at a loss as to what to do with them. A special pox (can't think of a good Yiddish one at the moment) on the members of the fourth estate who were colluding today on the "narrative" to attack Mitt Romney instead of asking, you know, actual questions on foreign policy.
I am left feeling quite disgusted with the current US administration in regards to all of this. I only hope my fellow Americans will wake up and cause some changes to our own government in the coming presidential election.
There is a little more to all of what is going on Internationally which causes me to wonder “where does one get intelligence they can rely upon” especially – reliable intelligence for example in the case of Libya? The same Libya where the US ambassador and three others from the US embassy were assassinated in yesterdays attack.
A significant quote from the past 24 hours .
“You’ve got to take all appropriate precautions, although I must admit that if you were going to predict two countries in which these events were to take place I would’ve predicted Egypt and Libya as being the two that were most volatile and the two where these events would’ve been most likely.”
Gen. Michael Hayden
Former director of the CIA under Bush and the first year of Obama.
The still in development Libyan security forces are known to be slow to act, organize or even respond to any developments such as terrorists threats because they have no sense of allegiance or loyalty to what is still a transient government whose direction remains to be seen.
The security forces are not even sure that the government will protect the lives of the security force members.
One needs to realize that when a Government can guarantee it’s security forces a career and a retirement package they will fight for that government – any type of Government .
Libya has yet to show the signs of stability that security forces are willing to take any risk for.
So yesterday’s attack on the American Ambassador in Libya was a successful and planned attack with specific targets. If the existing Libyan intelligence apparatus was unaware of the attack being planned – it shows two things about Libya;
1. That the Salafist Jihadist are not finished and security is no better than a painted veneer.
Or if the attack planning was known and nothing said;
2. it shows the Security apparatus is still unsure of whose side they will be on. Libya is a “very unstable” nation and a very dangerous place for infidel non-moslems.
This attack also shows the confusion and instability that reigns inside of Obama’s pro-Islamic or should we say “Willfully blind State Department’ led by Alcoholic Hillary Clinton.
There is a State Department belief that somehow the Islamist behind the sacking of Qaddafi are thankful to America.
It is very limited thanks.
Any serious inquiry shows that the rebels in Libya are thankful for the U.S/NATO’s assistance in aiding the revolt. The thanks is limited to “being thankful for the tools of the great Satan” and used wherever possible.
The Al Qaeda led Rebels feared by the late Qaddafi see themselves as aligned with the Salafists in Egypt and Syria all in the ongoing Jihad against the West.
There is another thing to consider.
When Ahmadinejad took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran it was protesting U.S. Involvement with the former Shaw of Iran – the take over was about. “ending the continued involvement of the U.S.”.
This assassination in Libya, taking out the ambassador was to “block future involvement of the U.S.” especially with the formation of the new Libyan government – it was an intentional death.
Who will keep more deaths of American officials from happening in Libya? An additional 50 marines sent as a knee jerk response from an either un-prepared or ambivalent President?
I am fairly certain that in Libya (and not a few other countries in the world) word had circulated through the Mosques during last Friday’s prayers (Sept 7th) to await an auspicious event to be observed on the anniversary of 9/11.
Mosques world wide featured a similar announcement the Friday before the September 11 attack on the Trade Towers.
Remember Islam does not view itself country by country. The country by country view is an American preoccupation and a self deception that some how each Moslem country is different politically.
In truth a Jihadist action in one nation is seen as action on behalf of the entire Islamic world.
Obama’s apology for “Hurting Moslem Feelings” over a recent Offensive documentary on Mohammed only addresses half of the reasons for the attack.
The 9/11 reason will not be officially recognized by the Whitehouse because “this was all supposed to have ended when Bin Laden was declared dead”!
Prior to this event – in U.S. history only five Ambassadors had been Killed/Assassinated. Now the number is Six.
Five of these Six U.S. Ambassadors killed have been killed by Islamists.
Obama might not be at war with Islam – but Islam is at war with the U.S. and at war with it’s revolving presidencies and is more emboldened at every success.
What is success in Islam?
The killing of infidel’s ie: killing Americans is success or “a win for Islam” -death of Moslem combatant(s) or Moslem non-combatant(s) in the killing of such infidels is “also a win for Islam”.
You cannot re-educate and change such “Win-Win” politico-religious beliefs. If liberal, you can only be defeated by such beliefs. If Rational you can only win by crushing and destroying such an enemy.
Liberals do not have the will to win except when it comes to imprisoning or destroying those who disagree with them. Hence the world wide war on free speech even in America and even in Israel.
Given the forgoing and the perfidy of Liberals running most of the Western World’s governments and the liberal voters re-electing them, the Islamic Jihadist problem might not be rationally addressed by liberals until the Jihadist start using Nukes and Bio weapons – and they will because- “what’s to stop them”?
Certainly not President. B. Hussein Obama.
The Americans so much hate to be persistently confronted by the inconvenience of the inconvenient truth, they simply ignore it, and move on to the next delusion, bought and paid for by even more blood-and-treasure. Ariel Sharon advised George W. Bush not to linger in Iraq after an overthrow of the Saddam regime, and try to democratise the undemocratisable. Ariel Sharon has been proved undeniably correct, and the US has squandered over a trillion dollars of treasure, and the blood of thousands of US lives.
The US can say what it likes about the imperial British, but the imperial British made efforts to know what they were dealing with, and take note of reality, not the well-scripted convenience of Hollywood fantasy.
For example: At [Hebert] Morrison’s urging, top-level policymakers from the Foreign Office, the Admiralty, the Bank of England, and the Ministry of Fuel and Power joined to form a “Working Party on Persia.” It commissioned several studies to use as background in dealing with the crisis, including one on the psychology of Iranians. The author, a British diplomat, asserted that the typical Iranian was motivated by an unabashed dishonesty, fatalistic outlook, [and] indifference to suffering. . . . The ordinary Persian is vain, unprincipled, eager to promise what he knows he is incapable or has no intention of performing, wedded to procrastination, lacking in perseverance and energy, but amenable to discipline. Above all he enjoys intrigue and readily turns to prevarication and dishonesty whenever there is a possibility of personal gain. Although an accomplished liar, he does not expect to be believed. They easily acquire a superficial knowledge of technical subjects, deluding themselves into the belief that it is profound.
this was a breakdown in us intel
a very bad breakdown.
made worse by comments emanating from us egypt consulate and apparent lack of obama state dept concern about security in both libya and egypt
if republicans play this as a political game...they lose and maybe america does too
remember the events leading up to 9/11, starting from the first wtc bombing
this is not one small cell who carried out this operation in three countries...yes three, because vid was created as a cover for the operation
that vid has less than 3k hits in the english version and less than 2k in the arabic version, before operation
who linked up to it, other than a crazy pastor, who allowed himself to be used, the others were all connected to the muslim brotherhood, the ism and other radical islamic groups
and before we go bashing obama for his stupid apology about the vid, we must note that bush did something similar with the mohamed picture fiasco
the fact is, no american president has or will handle this the way it should be, for fear of pissing off 1.8 billion fanatic muslims
this war has been waged since the arabic hordes left their peninsula
it must end soon...for the western culture and the culture of the death cult...cannot coexist
Heres the foreign policy in the Middle East thats been going on thats Now reached a epic level !!!!!

(Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin signaled in an interview aired on Thursday that Russia was not ready to shift its stance on Syria, and suggested Western nations were relying on groups such as al Qaeda to help drive President Bashar al-Assad from power.

Obama has made it clear that he intends to remake America after the European model, that means Islamafied and Socialist! Unfortunately the nation has been in the grips of a purposeful dumbing down at every scholastic level for several decades, the university journalism schools are run by Progressive socialist professors. So what else would we possibly expect as an outcome? The November election can't possibly come soon enough, even then if Obama is defeated he will have until January 2013 to continue to wreak havoc. G-d help us and the world!
The Media....
Without the active cooperation, the leadership within the left of the media, none of this, in Israel or in the US would be possible.
These people are responsible for these and many other deaths, world wide. How much longer will people allow them to continue with these killings?
They were heard planning their attack upon Romney at his news conference, the audio has gone viral. What more does one need to know about their intentions?
They cause others to be killed and then blame it on someone else and it happens every time. That is not accidental. That is following a template which has an agenda which places their interests above the very lives of others and the truth.
The media is responsible but they hope that they can obscure their roll in the creation of this violence and these deaths. And yes, they are Marxist at their core no matter what they say publicly. Only Marxist politicians receive their support and only Marxist solutions receive their blessings. Everything and everyone else is their target for attack.
They lie to the people, look them in the eyes on the television without blinking and lie and people die because of it. Many more will die in the future because they have a free hand and no consequences at all from any quarter, especially the government, who's members fear them above anything else.
No wonder they feel they can do anything or cause the deaths of anyone they choose. They are in charge of public opinion and are using it to gain power and of course wealth, for themselves.
Is there a way to fight the ignorance of the American electorate regarding Iran? Something that would compensate for the years of the American press not doing its job regarding Islam in general and Shia eschatology in particular? Actually, there is. This paper by Dr. Matthias Küntzel, delivered at Columbia University in 2008, is a serious and comprehensive analysis of the Iranian threat, something the part of the electorate who think is looking for, but has been denied by the pc media.

Caroline,
thank you so much for confirming what these news stations Russian tv, CCTV (chinese tv)and ANI only hinted at, our embassies were attacked on purpose and not because of a silly low budget film (though the CAIR representative on al jazeera would have you think otherwise). I also heard confirmation of this, though not concrete details such as yours, from a pastor on www.hischannel.com just after the epicenter conference stop streaming online last night.
Just now I watched an interview on a show that I think is aligned with the left or muslim brotherhood or both, called Democracy Now. On the show they interview a man named Tariz Ramadan who wrote a book titled Islam and the Arab Awakening. They said that his great grandfather was the founder of Muslim Brotherhood. As I listened to him explain what was in his book, he sounded very intelligent.I'm not sure what his angle is, but not knowing if you've already checked him out, I thought that I should point him out to you. I don't think he's a trust worthy source of info for me, like you are, but he acts like he knows a lot about what's going on in the middle east.
Thanks for the link Mladen Andrijasevic. Fascinating.
Caroline,
You say:"It wasn't about a spontaneous protest against some ridiculous internet movie of Muhammad."
Sure it wasn't, and to pretend otherwise is ridiculous.
But even you felt the need to disqualify such a movie by adding, with no need, the "ridiculous internet" to the substantive "movie."
Whether ridiculous or not, whether a theater or an internet movie, in the context of your post movie was enough.
The adjectives simply contributed to the stream of people charging the blame on the movie and, by the way, insulting us, our culture and our way of living... and our common sense, too.
I believe we shouldn't play along, not even disqualifying or minimizing the significance of such a movie, even if it is blatantly ridiculous, marginal or simply wrong and stupid.
שנה טובה ומתוקה
FFS: As Robert Spencer on Jihad Watch remarked, the movie is immaterial. It could've been a Bugs Bunny cartoon that served as a pretext, or the imagined profile of Mohammad in an ice cream swirl (as happened in Britain). It didn't matter. The plotters trolled the Internet for something that would suit their purposes. That lousily made movie (and I have watched it, it's more like an extended Saturday Night Live skit with real amateurs in the cast) did the trick. But, be warned: Clinton and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation have been hankering to impose censorship on all forms of criticism of Islam. So has Obama. That explains Clinton's own taqiyya about the film being "disgusting and reprehensible." Why mention her own evaluation of the film?

I pose this question in my article yesterday:
http://mywtfblog.com/2012/09/admit-it-they-hate-us/
I enjoyed listening to Michele Bachmans' speech though I think something very important is missing.
Attributes are not essential. They are merely attributes no matter how inspiring they sound and they may elate us for a while, but eventually we find that they have no creative power.
Obama is not the reason why things go the way they do. He's not the cause. He's the symptom of a nation in peril. Americans voted for him, remember?
There is no person in the whole of America who is able to turn things around. Just like so many other well intentioned people Michele Bachman is hacking at the branches of an evil tree. No one is able to reach its root. But God can. And for Him to turn things around his people need to repent.
American christians need to go down on their knees, and
Israel, O Israel, please listen to your prophet Isaiah (ch.40).
Put your trust in the Lord.
Shana Tova!
