Editor, Manteca Bulletin, According to the British newspaper The Independent, the U.S. State Department had credible information of the attack on our embassy in Libya at least 48 hours before it took place. However, even with that warning and with the anniversary of September 11, there was no instruction for diplomats to be on alert. The result of Obama’s lack of focus is the murder of the American ambassador in Libya, attacks against the US embassy in Cairo, the burning of the American flags throughout the Arab region, and the torching of American businesses in Lebanon.
