35. I agree with you. The attack on the safe house appears very well planned.

Sep 2012

My money is on the whole thing being related more to the AQ No. 2 who died in a drone strike in June. The British ambassador was attacked then, and I believe that this consulate saw a demonstration and possibly a minor attack.

According to the Libyans, Benzhazi and another eastern town, Derna, have some indigenous radical militias that have been causing problems.

I just don't buy Susan Rice's full explanation.

There have been some mention of Rice taking over from H. Clinton at the end of the year, but this performance isn't what I'd expect of a Sec. of State candidate.

I'm rooting for Kerry, myself.
