Obama Calls Benghazi Al-Qaeda Linked Terrorists: “Those Folks”
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, October 26, 2012, 8:27 PM
This email was sent to State Department officials, White House officials, Secret Service officials at 6:07 PM EST on 9-11.
This was one of three emails sent to the White House the evening of 9-11 on the Benghazi attack. Barack Obama was meeting with his security team in the Oval Office that evening.
The email clearly blamed Al-Qaeda linked group Ansar al-Sharia for the attack on the US consulate.
This was before the lifeless body of Ambassador Stevens was dragged from the consulate ruins.
To this day Barack Obama still refuses to call the Al-Qaeda strike on our consulate in Benghazi a terrorist attack.

Today he called the Islamic terrorists – “these folks.”
Yahoo reported:
President Barack Obama on Friday forcefully denied deliberately misleading Americans about the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi, telling radio host Michael Smerconish, “I’ve always been straight with the American people.”
Speaking to Smerconish during a 15-minute Oval Office interview, Obama also declared he was “absolutely” prepared to kill those behind the assault but would prefer to capture them and “bring them to justice.”
Asked whether the administration’s shifting explanation for the September 11 strike reflected the intelligence he was receiving, Obama replied: “What’s true is that the intelligence was coming in and evolving as more information came up.
“And what is true,” he continued, “…This is something that the American people can take to the bank—is that my administration plays this stuff straight. We don’t play politics when it comes to American national security,” the president said. “As information came in we gave it to the American people. And as we got new information, we gave that to the American people.”
When and if the location of those behind the attack is known, Smerconish asked, “Will you take that person out without regard for the election timetable?”
“Absolutely,” Obama replied. “But I think our goal would be to bring them to justice.”…
…Asked whether he knew Americans in Libya had asked for more security, Obama replied: “I was not personally aware of any request. Obviously we have an infrastructure that’s set up to manage requests like that,” in reference to the State Department.
“But we’re going to find out exactly what happened,” he said. “Ultimately, though, any time there is a death of an American overseas, I want to find out what happened, because my most important job as president is keeping the American people safe.”
“And we will get to the bottom of what happened, and we’re going to make sure most importantly that those who carried it out, that they are captured,” Obama said.
He also said he takes “full responsibility” for the circumstances in the attack, in which Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed. The suspects have not been publicly or conclusively identified, though Egyptian officials say a man suspected to have been involved was killed on Wednesday in a shootout in the capital, Cairo.
“My biggest priority right now is bringing those folks to justice. And I think the American people have seen that’s a commitment I always keep,” the president said, an apparent reference to the bin Laden raid.

we are going to get to the bottom of this, we are going to bring these “folks” to justice. when? after the election dumbo.
i hope everyone has noticed that every bit of information that has come out about benghazi has come from other sources then the administration. the same administration that promised to tell the american people immediately whenever any new information became available.
also the democratic party-media complex has had a virtual blackout of this information. there is an enemy of freedom in the united states and it is the american media.
Oliver commented:
Given how well Obama “had the backs” of his diplomatic staff in Benghazi, what do you think Israel’s chances are when Iran gets close to the Red Line?

The POTUS is promising to “capture” those who committed this act? WTF?
This moron thinks the US military operates like a police department?
Lies…all lies, people! This man needs to be impeached, and NOW!

When he addresses the American public, he calls us “folks” … so, according to obama, American Citizens are the same as terrorists.
Patty commented:
I can’t wait for the words, “these Folks” no to be heard for a long time and in the White House come Jan. 20, we won’t have to.
Put so many more of Obama words he uses over and over again. But in place of saying Terrorist, he has to say something and “these folks” come to his mind. Seems Obama calls so many these folks. Well, something interesting in all this about Obama.

And I would too. Wouldn’t anyone of us. It wasn’t necessary for this administration to lie like they did but NOT TO PROTECT OUR MILITARY AND THE AMERICANS IN HARMS WAY, IS ANOTHER.
Bigkahuna commented:
#4 exactly…with friends like Obama, who needs enemies. I hear a military guy on Rush today say something to the effect of…what he just told all military people was…screw you …you are on your own if you are in a tight spot and Obama is making decisions. old anyone ? Ok. Don’t golf…lets jump on AF1 and fly to Hollywood for a party babe.
Patty commented:
And when Mr. Woods said to Hannity that this generation lies like it was nothing at all with NO MORALS.
I am sorry to compare this election to these words of a loving Father who lost his son needlessly but MORAL CHARACTER IS WHY, EXACTLY WHY, ROMNEY IS SURGING.

Obama and his team of misfits should be called “these folks” from here on in.
President Obama said Friday he was “not personally aware” of any request for more security by U.S. diplomats in Libya before the Sept. 11 strike on the consulate.

This is worse than Watergate and why we have to wait until after the election to get to the truth is beyond me.
Patty commented:
Obama is NOT PERSONALLY AWARE. UNBELIEVABLE, OOOPPPSS HE HAS NEVER BEEN AWARE AND WHEN IT HITS HOME he is going to lose this election THESE FOLKS WILL BE literally in Shock.
And what will be most note worthy is THESE FOLKS, won’t see it coming.
msr commented:
Whenever I’ve seen “folks” called out in regard to an Obama speech lately, this quote has come to mind.
“The demagogue is usually sly, a detractor of others, a professor of humility and disinterestedness, a great stickler for equality as respects all above him, a man who acts in corners, and avoids open and manly expositions of his course, calls blackguards gentlemen, and gentlemen folks, appeals to passions and prejudices rather than to reason, and is in all respects, a man of intrigue and deception, of sly cunning and management, instead of manifesting the frank, fearless qualities of the democracy he so prodigally professes.”
