The four or so security guys weren’t in on the story and ignored instructions to stay away. They did some shooting and the jihadis thought they had been betrayed.

Thank you. I can see how that was a factor.. but as someone who was a news junky throughout the Cold War I can't help wondering..

who was the major beneficiary of destroying the secret weapons supply chain to Syrian rebels? (If that what it was.)

Who are experts with tons of experience with things like getting Americans killed or -- in the case of the USS Scorpion and the 99 crewmen -- killing the Americans directly?

Who are the experts at throwing Washington into turmoil? Even when Washington was run by adults.. not the radical, spoiled brats stuck on an imaginary campus somewhere.

Russia.
