Why Was Security Stripped in Benghazi?

Data points continue to accumulate about the September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya. The picture that is beginning to emerge from connecting those dots is deeply concerning on multiple levels. Two related issues dominate this analysis: The stripping of security protection from the Benghazi mission prior to the 9/11 anniversary attack and the refusal to send or even permit local help on the night of the attack.

As Fox News Bureau Chief of Intelligence Catherine Herridge suggested on the “Mike Huckabee” show on Oct. 27, both of these critical subjects may have been driven by a perceived need to cover up the existence of the role being played by the U.S. mission in Libya to serve as a command hub for the movement of weapons out of Libya to Syrian rebels fighting to bring down the Bashar Al-Assad regime.

It has now been established through the persistent work of Congressional leadership figures and such investigative journalists, media and talk show hosts including Fox News, Michael Coren at Canada’s Sun News, Aaron Klein at World Net Daily and Diana West that the Benghazi mission played a central role in a U.S. government policy of “engaging, legitimating, enriching and emboldening Islamists who have taken over or are ascendant in much of the Middle East,” as Center for Security Policy president, Frank Gaffney, put it.

Benghazi Staffed by CIA Operatives: What Was Their Role?

According to media reporting, Benghazi was staffed by CIA operatives whose job may have been not just to secure and destroy dangerous weapons (like RPGs and SAMs) looted from former Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi’s stockpiles during and after the 2011 revolution, but also perhaps to facilitate their onward shipment to the Al-Qaeda- and Muslim Brotherhood-dominated Syrian opposition.

President Barack Obama signed an intelligence finding sometime in early 2012 that authorized U.S. support for the Syrian rebels and by mid-June 2012, CIA operatives reportedly were on the Turkish-Syrian border helping to steer weapons deliveries to selected Syrian rebel groups. According to an Oct. 14, 2012 New York Times article, most of those arms were going to “hard-line Islamic jihadists.”

One of those jihadis may well be Abdelhakim Belhadj, former leader of the Al-Qa’eda-linked..

What is one of the most memorable dates in U.S. history?

9/11 !!!!!!

WHY IN THE HELL would someone high up put Stevens there ON 9/11 to broker weapons?? This makes NO sense. He was put there on a SIGNIFICANT DATE to ENHANCE the historical aspect of the kidnapping. Think about it. Everyone would remember 'the OTHER 9/11' where an Ambassador was kidnapped and 0bama set him free!!! This was the election bounce 0bama was hoping for.

I believe 'the Anti-Islam video' narrative was fabricated to be used following the kidnapping and even though things went South, 0bama stuck to that narrative. Blaming a film maker in America (assaulting freedom of speech) was one of the byproducts to be exploited by 0bama following Stevens' kidnapping and release. His mention of the movie 6 times in his United Nations speech was probably written well before 09/11/12.

Reciprocity to al qaeda for the killing of yahya al libi...just as a helicopter full of DEAD SEALS was reciprocity for ‘killing’ bin laden. Quid pro quo.

That would be outrageous if so - can not believe anyone in the Administration (except Obama) could go along with that at all. I would have to be totally pessimistic about this government and country to believe that! No way!

Would you be skeptical about your country sending weapons UNTRACED to Mexican drug cartels and saying “90% of weapons used in violent crimes in Mexico come from the United States?” when everyone knew that isn’t true? THEY WERE WORKING ON MAKING IT COME TRUE to justify stripping American firearms dealers of their rights. If you can’t go after the gun owners, go after the gun sellers! This had ‘Eric Holder’ written all over it.

Apples and oranges. The ‘video’ was a plan to start riots and protests all over the arab street and blame Israel for the video. The only reason that didn’t work was because Walid Shoebat KNEW the filmmaker was NOT, as first claimed, a billionaire Israeli Jew. Only a fluke that the filmmakers’s partner just happened to be Shoebat’s cousin, a falsestinian terrorist.
EVERYTHING, including the deaths of Americans, would have been blamed on Israel.

Turkey? We’re in bed with Turkey?

Doesn’t Obama have some quasi-hush-hush, buddy-buddy relationship with some “he was like a father to me,” friend-of-the-family, mentor, spiritual-guide, Turkish somebody? Gave him guidance on raising his girls or something? Am I remembering that accurately?

Open your eyes. The clinton administration did exactly the same thing many times over.

Perhaps Stevens was not the target. He was found alive, after all. Wonder if any Syrians were present. Like for example, Obama’s weapons runner ?
