A Deadly Mix in Benghazi -- David D. Kirkpatrick, New York Times

A boyish-looking American diplomat was meeting for the first time with the Islamist leaders of eastern Libya’s most formidable militias.

It was Sept. 9, 2012. Gathered on folding chairs in a banquet hall by the Mediterranean, the Libyans warned of rising threats against Americans from extremists in Benghazi. One militia leader, with a long beard and mismatched military fatigues, mentioned time in exile in Afghanistan. An American guard discreetly touched his gun.

“Since Benghazi isn’t safe, it is better for you to leave now,” Mohamed al-Gharabi, the leader of the Rafallah al-Sehati Brigade, later recalled telling the Americans. “I specifically told the Americans myself that we hoped that they would leave Benghazi as soon as possible.”

My Comment: Unbelievable .... the New York Times is still peddling the video lie .... ignoring the testimony of people on the ground as well as social media reports that revealed that there was no mention of the video in Libya on the day of the attack. What is even more ludicrous is their assertion that Al Qaeda was not involved in the attack but an anti-Western militia group called Ansar al-Shariah .... cough cough .... Ansar al-Shariah is an affiliate of Al Qaeda. Sadly .... this New York Times article is pure BS that is serving only one purpose .... protect the White House and shill for former Secretary of State Clinton.

Update: Why am I not surprised .... White House doesn't dispute report finding no al Qaeda role in Benghazi attack -- NBC.
