we firmly believe that this was a precalculated, preplanned attack that was carried out specifically to attack the united states consulate. end quote. as we now know from everything i have read at least, the libyan president told the truth. contrast that with the statements by ambassador rice to the united nations. it forces one to wonder whether libya s intelligence was that much better than america s on september the 16th or whether libyan leaders were that much more willing to be candid or to avoid misstatements. secretary clinton, what evidence was there that was so compelling that it caused the white house through ambassador susan rice to make these representations about spontaneous protests, anti-muslim videos and the like despite statements of libyan s president to the contrary. where was the compelling evidence and what was it?
situation that was a long time in the making. and the story she told about a spontaneous event being caused by a video increasingly doesn t hold water. and the issue is if you look at all the evidence to show this was a coordinated terrorist attack on september the 16th, you put that in one pile, and you put the evidence that suggests it was a flash mob caused by the video, spontaneous in the making, in the other pile, what makes the most sense? she even went further on september the 16th. she reinforced the message that bin laden was dead, al-qaeda s been dismantled. and i would suggest that the intelligence surrounding the benghazi consulate attack was very rich with evidence that al-qaeda was involved and they had not been dismantled, and that s why we re pushing and we re going to keep pushing. we need to know how the system failed, how these four brave americans got killed, and we re going to get to the bottom of this. gregg: right.
compound. a quick response team was dispatched with 60 libyan militia men to try to stop the assault, but they were too late. by then the attackers already had set fire to the building where ambassador chris stevens was hiding. that account directly conflicts the description of the attack provided on meet the press by u.s. ambassador to the u.n. susan rice. this was on september 16th, five days after the attack. putting together the best information that we have available to us today, our current assessment is that what happened in benghazi was in fact initially a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired hours before in cairo. almost a copy cat of the demonstrations against our facility in cairo which were prompted of course by the video. what we think then transpired in benghazi is that opportunistic extremist elements came to the consulate as this was unfolding. that from the obama administration again on september the 16th.
