No demonstration before attack on US Consulate, source says
An intelligence source on the ground in Libya told Fox News that there was no demonstration outside the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi prior to last week's attack -- challenging the Obama administration's claims that the assault grew out of a "spontaneous" protest against an anti-Islam film.
"There was no protest and the attacks were not spontaneous," the source said, adding the attack "was planned and had nothing to do with the movie."
The source said the assault came with no warning at about 9:35 p.m. local time, and included fire from more than two locations. The assault included RPG's and mortar fire, the source said, and consisted of two waves.
The account that the attack started suddenly backs up claims by a purported Libyan security guard who told McClatchy Newspapers late last week that the area was quiet before the attack.
"There wasn't a single ant outside," the unnamed guard, who was being treated in a hospital, said in the interview.

Re: No demonstration before attack on US Consulate, source says
Excellent catch, Sullivan. No demonstration at all, huh? That's no surprise. Benghazi is a stronghold of US-allied terrorists who supposedly demonstrated against the USA.
It didn't make sense to me, and now we know the truth.
I am beginning to suspect that the Green Resistance in Libya had become so strong that the USA arranged this video nonsense in order to distract the masses, and to maintain the lie that there is no Green Resistance.
Of course, the USA can always say, "Okay, you caught me in another lie. The Benghazi attack was not a reaction to that video after all. The truth is that al-Qaeda did it."
The NATO-installed bureaucrats in Tripoli say "No, foreign extremists did it."
I can hear Israel saying, "No, Hezbollah did it."
The "pro-Palestinian" people say, "No, Israel did it."
The GCC oil sheiks say, "No, Iran did it."
Turkey says, "No, Assad did it."
No one wants to admit that there is a Green Resistance.
Even the so-called "anti-imperialists" don't want to admit it. They insist that the Benghazi terrorists did it, and that the attack was "blowback" from imperialism.
