I seem to recall making the identical points a day or so before this.
Why do you suppose it is rightwingers have so much trouble wrapping their wee wittle minds around such simple concepts?

Fox is getting their story from The Independent, who claims the State Department had 48 hours notice that something was going to happen somewhere.
According to senior diplomatic sources, the US State Department had credible information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and the embassy in Cairo, that American missions may be targeted, but no warnings were given for diplomats to go on high alert and "lockdown", under which movement is severely restricted.
The world is a big place. There are hundreds of embassies and consulates in it. A vague warning about "something" happening on the anniversary of September 11th is hardly tantamount to a specific warning about a specific place.
But Fox will flog this so-called "warning" because it gives them a chance to draw some kind of weird and bizarre equivalence between what happened in Libya and George W. Bush's failure to heed a far more specific warning more than a month before the 9-11 attacks occurred. http://crooksandliars.com/karoli/romney-rehab-day-3-fox-news-says-obama-igno
