This I agree does not fit at first glance, but the mortars did not completey destroy the building. Could have been, in their wacky minds, just an attempt to scare him into coming out, ...

That would have been wacky because Stevens was at the main compound, where he had a residence, and the mortar attacks were on the "annex" compound. The risk wouldn't have been that they might destroy a whole building but that a rocket or mortar round could easily kill someone they didn't intend it to.

(lol (sorry for the laughing) (like they'd care about that))

That supports the theory even more.

The heavy firepower was there, then (planned), suppressing help from the annex.

The attackers would have no problem killing everyone but Stevens if necessary.

This is why I think the fingerprints of Hillary are there: she could NOT have that team under Col. Wood that got sent home when their tour was up there protecting the ambassador. This is why the jihadis would need a large well-armed force. U.S. protection guys have a high kill ratio, so for this to work the numbers had to be overwhelming, basically no U.S. protection there, a skeleton crew. So Hill's job was to make sure the skeleton crew was there. Then various muslim leaders asked for these meetings on 9/11, and poor Stevens got sold out.

This is too nuts to believe. A U.S. Secretary of State and President in with subversives up to their eyeballs.

I just don't see how State Dept / CIA (?) would purposely serve up one of their own on a silver platter - especially one that appears to have been following orders. Incompetence ? They couldn't keep a protection unit there, or pick up the phone during the attack ? (sorry for ranting, this is just disturbing).
