There's A Reason Why All Of The Reports
About Benghazi Are So Confusing

Business Insider, by Michael Kelley

Original Article

Posted By:vastrightwingconspirator, 11/4/2012 1:26:20 AM

At this point it's clear that the US had something to hide at Benghazi, and that's why reports coming out of the Libyan city have been so confusing. (Snip) WSJ reports that the State Department presence in Benghazi "provided diplomatic cover" for the previously hidden CIA mission, which involved finding and repurchasing heavy weaponry looted from Libyan government arsenals. These weapons are presumably from Muammar Gaddafi's stock of about 20,000 portable heat-seeking missiles, the bulk of which were SA-7 surface-to-air anti-aircraft missiles.

Obama feels if he can just get past Tuesday, he is home free. What if this election drags on like 2000? There are senate hearings for the 15th regarding Benghazi that will be hard for the pressitutes to ignore and more of this botched mess come more into the mainstream, will he be able to ride it out then as well?

Finally, we are starting to get to the bottom of this. Fast and Furious on steroids! 0 & Co. had the CIA gun running and something went haywire. Hence the coverup and deception.

The video didn't make them do this.

How the heck did Gadaffi get hold of U.S. made heat-seeking missiles, just the thing for shooting down civilian or military aircraft?

There is no way they can control 20,000 portable missiles. They will become "Obama's Ultimate Revenge" some day. The takedown of multiple commercial airliners with these weapons would be a crushing economic blow and a spectacular future attack. If it occurs, Obama, Holder, and Jarrett should be arrested and tried for treason.

I have never understood the ability of this government to trust Muslims. It usually ends badly for us. Benghazi is a perfect example. Another example is the fact that they are killing the soldiers who train them. What have they done to earn our trust? A little more cynicism and a little less kumbayuh, please.

Benghazi must have been an October surprise that blew up in their faces. The ambassador was probably supposed to be taken unharmed, held hostage and then "saved" by the Great One on or about 5 November.


Reply 7 - Posted by: Kitty Myers, 11/4/2012 7:47:51 AM     (No. 8986584)

FTA: "The U.S. effort in Benghazi was at its heart a CIA operation," officials briefed on intelligence told the Wall Street Journal, and there's evidence that U.S. agents—particularly murdered U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens—were at least aware of heavy weapons moving from Libya to Syrian rebels.

White House Insider (at Ulsterman's blog) said back in September: “What my gut is tellin’ me on this…that guy was no ambassador. Officially yeah – but off the books. He was CIA.”

On Oct. 4th, Canada Free Press asked, "Was Ambassador Stevens’ death a hit?"

There is ugly speculation that the Obama regime has been and still is, arming al Qaeda with sophisticated weapons, which have been and are intended to murder Americans, that the reason Benghazi dragged out for 7 hours, was because the terrorists were trying to prod a response in order to kill more SEALS.

Obie, Bite Me, and Piaps got caught with their hand in the cookie jar one too many times. As we peel the Benghazi onion a little bit more, we now see how Obie was going to intervene in Syria. Absolutely F&F on steroids. Another poster asks, how did Gaddaffi acquire SA-7 missiles in the first place? Let's peel the onion a little more and see what we find out.

Read an article in Red State and on Drudge days ago with the comments of WHY was a DRONE over Benghazi almost from the moment this incident began.
Red State comments it has a 675 distance capability and flies at approx. 135/mph....so it had to be ordered about 3 hours in advance.
WHY? WHAT were they planning to scrutinize?
WHERE did the Drone originate? WHO gave the order for the Drone?

I want to her something from the 30+ people who didn't die in the attack. Are they some of the ones who are speaking off the record?

I understand that they were, for the most part, probably CIA, and they are not likely to come out in the open and talk, but it would be nice to know what they have to say about the minute-by-minute happenings.

30+ people didn't die, and they are the first-person witnesses to the entire event, and could clear things up fast.

Again, just like with Egypt and Libya, our own government is actively trying to dislodge Syria's Assad by arming the ''rebels'' who just happen to be al qaida and/or muslim bro'hood.... do I have that right?

Now why in heaven's name would we want to do that?

My skeptical nature tells me Obama and his gang of muslim sympathizers are actively engaged in extremizing (that a word? should be...) the entire Middle East to force out Israel because muslims hate Israel.

And us. What weapons are flowing here (Fast and Furious?) that are meant to end up in the hands of islamist extremists HERE?

Is that not AIDING AND ABETTING THE ENEMY? Say it loud, say it over and over: THIS IS TREASON.

I remember the press reports about the missing missiles during the conflict. This is what happens as a result of ineptitude. There was going to be only one way to secure these weapons. Boots on the ground. A good reason to have left Qaddafi alone. But not to "Mr. Drone" Obama. Those missiles may still come back to haunt us.

No/ No no no.

It's not "clueless people in over their heads"

It's a determined effort to spin a narrative that will keep a whole lot of people out of prison for Treason. Say it again, TREASON.

Spin a reasonable story of incompetence, cowardice and gross negligence. That, the pres and America will believe. Better to do down as a fool than hung in prison for Treason.

How can the Administration come clean on their plan to kidnap Stevens then trade him for the blind sheik as the infernal October Surprise just before the election???

The "clueless people" are the ones who listen to the Admin's efforts to spin this maelstrom of bovine leavings.

People are not mentioning that Obama was willing to allow 30+ people to die in Benghazi, not just the 4 who DID die. If Ty Woods & Glen Doherty hadn't stepped in as the heros they are, countless others may have perished.

Did he and his minions just think that 30+ consulate staff would be "collateral damage" in all this??? I can't fathom it.

Sarah Palin said Friday that the elite media would never let a Republican president get away with what Barack Obama has done in his push for new gun laws. The former Alaska governor recalled that the national press “tore apart” George W. Bush for using “fleeting images” from Sept. 11, 2001, during his 2004 reelection campaign. At the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting, Palin slammed Obama for flying the grieving parents of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Air Force One and then “making them backdrops” at rallies. “That same media is now the reliable poodle-skirted cheerleader

The Pentagon has released a statement confirming that soldiers could be prosecuted for promoting their faith: "Religious proselytization is not permitted within the Department of Defense...Court martials and non-judicial punishments are decided on a case-by-case basis...”. The statement, released to Fox News, follows a Breitbart News report on Obama administration Pentagon appointees meeting with anti-Christian extremist Mikey Weinstein to develop court-martial procedures to punish Christians in the military who express or share their faith.(From our earlier report: Weinstein is the head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, and says Christians--including chaplains--sharing the gospel

To say that Sarah Palin shook things up by taking to Twitter to express her displeasure at the nonchalant nose-rubbing going on at the White House Correspondent´s Dinner Saturday night would be an understatement. It doesn´t matter who you are. If you watched the White House Correspondent´s Dinner and simultaneously possessed one shred of passion for the future of our country with regards to crony capitalism and corruption, it´s pretty easy to determine the overwhelming consensus of the event. The media is supposed to exist to hold these people accountable. Instead, they choose to play

The surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings should not be treated as an enemy combatant, Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said Sunday morning. “I do not believe under the military commission law that he is eligible for that. It would be unconstitutional to do that,” Feinstein said on “Fox News Sunday.” Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the sole surviving suspect in last Monday’s bombings, was taken into custody Friday. Federal officials said they plan to use a public safety exception to delay reading Tsarnaev his "Miranda" rights.

Mainstream media publications immediately exploited the passing of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on Monday to again advance their political agendas by falsely smearing former Alaska Gov. and Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. In a rush to write whatever they could to tarnish both, outlets like Politico and the Washington Post resorted to "reporting" on a fictitious story and an imaginary trip that have already been debunked years ago. The Post, a publication known for its liberal agenda, immediately "re-upped" the debunked story about Thatcher having snubbed Palin when Chris Cillizza,

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate, is gearing up for 2014. Her SarahPAC came out with a video on Wednesday aimed at fueling the conservative fires for a dramatic comeback in the midterm elections. The “Loaded for Bear” video features tea party favorite Sen.

Former GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin mocked President Obama, GOP consultant Karl Rove and the mainstream media in a folksy speech to a gathering of conservative activists outside Washington Saturday. During her address to the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, Palin accused Obama of failing to lead, instead maintaining a permanent campaign approach of demonizing the opposition. True leadership, she said, means "ending the poisonous practice of treating members of different social, ethnic and religious groups as different electorates, pandered to with different promises."

In 1995, Sen.

Reflecting on those moments, Feinstein said: I know the sense of helplessness that people feel, I know the urge to arm yourself, because that´s what I did.

Recently the former secretary of state -- rumored to be a Republican -- has been quite vocal in criticizing his own political party. In no way am I saying Republicans are above criticism and do everything right. But there´s something about Colin Powell´s recent attacks that sound so, so, well, so Democratic National Committee-ish. Take, for instance, this gem: "There is a dark vein of intolerance in this party. They still sort of look down on the minority." Sounds ominous, no?

When it first became clear that the CIA’s Benghazi talking points had been altered, many of us viewed the White House as the prime suspect. After all, it served President Obama’s political purposes to claim, at the height of a political campaign in which he was taking credit for the fall of al Qaeda, that the death of a U.S. ambassador was down to spontaneous outrage over a video, rather than pre-planned terrorism. It turns out, however, that the State Department was the prime culprit. It was State that pushed back hard against the original talking points.

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

Former Gov. Mark Sanford completed the trail to political redemption Tuesday with a win over Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch to reclaim his old seat in Congress. Sanford defeated Colbert Busch 54 percent to 45 percent, according to full unofficial results. Turnout was heavier than expected, with about 32 percent of the district’s 455,702 registered voters casting ballots. Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001.

There was tragic incompetence, plainly, in the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attacks, and even possibly some political calculation. It is a record that may well come to haunt Hillary Clinton, the first Secretary of State to lose an ambassador in the field in more than three decades, if she runs for president in 2016. But the obvious Republican effort to turn this inquiry into the Democratic (Obama) version of the Iraq intelligence scandal that has tarred the GOP since the George W.
