Just my thoughts.
To: Anitius Severinus Boethius
What if the MANPADS were actually the Soviet made ones from Ghaddafi’s arsenal, and were being run by Stevens through Turkey to Al Qaeda in Syria?
That would be treasonous.
And a reason big enough for infinite stonewalling and cover ups.

They could have dropped a smart-bomb from an altitude far beyond the reach of a shoulder-fired missile.

That is why the other 30+ people are being kept from congress. They knew what was going on. I pray those people are ok. But, someone must have their names besides the adminstration and state dept. Where are the family members?

It would have been impossible for “terrorists” to have used them since king hussein has declared them to no longer to exist. Kind of like “Mission Accomplished”.

There are videos on liveleak showing rebels firing SA-18 Iglas at Assad’s aircraft.

Where would you drop a smart-bomb? Onto the building where your people are holed up?

Here is a tweet from last night sent by Michael Reagan:
@ReaganWorld: Maybe Obama lies about Bengazi to hide the reason why Ambassador Stevens was murdered...Maybe Bengazi was a murder disguised as terror....
To: struggle
Exactly.
Did 0bama supply Al Qaeda with anti-aircraft missiles that can shoot down American Airliners?

It’s not like those kinds of missiles didn’t exist in Iraq or Afghanistan. Our forces are used to dealing with those things.

It would indeed be nice to know that they are at least okay, and not systematically and quietly being eliminated in some far away place. I wonder why their family members haven't been seen on the news crying out about what has happened to them all?

To: Uncle Miltie
Bingo. Also explains why the terrorist attackers have never been pursued and exterminated, despite knowing who and where they are (or were). Benghazi was/is a Libyan weapons running conduit to Syrian anti-government forces- also to Gaza and being used against the Israelis. Not exactly a winning re-election activity that squared up with the “terrorism is defeated” narrative.

The same reason Breitbart’s family didn’t want investigations of his death.

For somebody who knows so much, you don't seem to know very much.

My thoughts exactly. It’s not like pilots have never faced this threat.
I’m dismissing the threat, but I think combat pilots know the score.

For the benefit of the acronymically challenged like me, what is a MANPAD?
To: E. Pluribus Unum
I meant in the initial attack. Once the decision had been made not to send help during the initial phase, the decision to not send help at all had been made.
And I’m sorry that my opinions don’t live up high enough to overcome your sense of entitlement to be an asshole.
