Ambassador Stevens was doing gun running to the Syrian rebels.

In March 2011 Stevens became the official U.S. liaison to the al-Qaeda-linked Libyan opposition and began coordinating U.S. assistance to the rebels.

Fast and Furious Libya style. Confirmation of Turkish Ambs.

Now we know why he was meeting with the shipping company listed in the documents found.

If the new Libyan government was sending jihadists and 400 tons of lethal cargo to Syria through a port in southern Turkey—a deal brokered by Stevens’ primary Libyan contact during the Libyan revolution—then the governments of Turkey and the U.S. surely knew about it

Thanks for posting. I believe there is much more to the story and ME policy than is being told. But I have been watching MI5 every night so I could be jaundiced. Or not.

In the aftermath of the Embassy attack there has been a move to turn Stevens into some sort of Sainted Martyr.

In reality, he was an Arabist and an Milddle East Nativist who internalized much of the mind set of the Radical Arab world. He was a supporter of the PLO and maintained close connections dn ties to Middle East radical groups.

For this reason he was chosen as liaison and adviser to the Muslim opposition militias in Libya.

He took sides in the Libyan Civil War and help defeat and eliminate members of opposition groups that Clinton and Obama were not in favor of.

He made a lot of nnemies and while he may have been close personally to many individuals in high places in the Islamist militias, at the end of the day he was still the man who was the face of the Great Satan in the region.

He was also a useful idiot who had been insrumental to the Muslim Brotherhood gaining power in Libya, but in his new position he was becoming an obstacle to those who he had put in power using Libya as a spring board to further Jihad.

So, if I understand this correctly, the attack began 40 minutes after Stevens met with the Turkish diplomat who was also serving as his weapons broker that supplied the Libyan rebels but who is now facilitating the transport of weapons to Syria from Libya?

Engaging in regime change without a UN Security Council resolution? Didn’t that used to be frowned upon?

Also the questions American public should ask this admin (and themselves) are -

Where ELSE did F&F extend to?

Where the money is from, to be used on F&F - Libyan front?
Without a budget for 4 years, is Congress even made aware of such expenditures?

Does this help explain why the 2 Navy Seals were in the neighborhood as all this went down?
Or were they just tourist on vacation?

This is getting really interesting. Sounds like whomever is in charge of the farm set up this newest fast and furious!

Of course this again brings up that old Latin Phrase “Cui bono!”

Or who benefited from this.

Cui bono - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cui_bono - 27k - Cached - Similar pages Cui bono (”To whose benefit?”, literally “as a benefit to whom?”, a double dative construction), also rendered as Cui prodest, is a Latin adage that is used either

I had suspected that was going on, or something similar.

'I suspect something shady was going on by the Ambassador. Protocol would have required a detachment of Marines to provide security. I dunno what he was doing, I suspect he was favoring one faction over another instead of being the neutral party. '

this is surprising?
only to people who didn’t read Steven OWN secret cables,
reveal by Wikileaks.
...in it, he seem to clearly support the Islamists,
against Qaddafi. He even admitted, some of them,
had returned from trying to kill Americans,
in Iraq and Afghanistan.
...he cheerfully worked with them, to overthrow Qaddafi.
(who actually had been helping the USA AGAINST the Islamists, until USA planes in NATO started bombing him...)
-
so why should it be a surprise, that Stevens was using his Islamist friends, to help overthrow Assad, in continuation of Obama’s support of the Islamist “Arab Spring” ?

For years, former presidents and Washington officials have whispered that Jimmy Carter committed treason against the U.S. and should be prosecuted. The stigma of prosecuting a former POTUS, however, and the fear of political retribution have prevented any such against Carter.

If Obama’s administration is arming the Islamic terrorists who killed 3000 people on 9.11.2001, Romney must pursue charges of treason against Obama. Political consequences be damned, Obama must not get away with arming an enemy against whom we are at war. Period.

One of the first info drops by wikileaks published in The Telegraph was State Department cables discussing a training program in the US for protest leaders for the creation of the “Arab Spring”. We brought over Muslim militants from Egypt to train them to lead the Arab Spring. Global community organizing...

I think the US government and leftist activists like Soros, code pinko and Google were all involved in creating the regimes changes in the Middle East, knowing it would lead to the Muslim Brotherhood taking over those nations they targeted. The leftist media played their part by endlessly repeating the lies that it was a freedom democracy movement.

So...why would it surprise us if the ambassador was involved with Muslim radicals in Libya when we have seen State Department cables showing the US government and Obama’s political allies funded, organized and ran the show of regime changes to the Muslim Brotherhood?
