well that is an amazingly good question, did shrillery send him to Benghazi? Yes, he was to be kidnapped to be “exchanged” for the Blind Sheik
Since most of our illustrious government representatives are lawyers they learned this in lawyer 101: Don’t ask the question if you don’t know the answer already or don’t ask the question if you cannot handle the answer.
Orders from the Boss?
My question: Mr. President, didi you order “cross border authority?” That will explain a lot.
“.....Why on 9/11 does he leave our fortress-like embassy in Tripoli and go down to Benghazi with a light detail? Why? Nobody’s asking that question, and it blows my mind away that I haven’t heard anybody push the State Department on that issue or the White House.”
WE at the ranch haven’t “pushed the State Department on that issue, or the White House”, but we’ve asked precisely that question aloud, perhaps only to ourselves, and I’ve read several posts here at FR asking that same question.
Perhaps it’s time to ask the Sec. of State, and the White House, but then what’s the use!? They will just lie and persue their Marxist goals.
I have decided that what we’re seeing in Israel now is why 9/11 happened. Stevens was a sacrifice fly.
Ambassador Stevens going to unsecure Benghazi on 9-11 of all days stinks to me of a setup. The ribbon cutting at the new Benghazi school cover story is laughably lame. You can bet that given his own input in the matter, Stevens would have told the Turks, “No, 9-11 is not a good day for us,” and stayed in Tripoli behind many high and thick walls. For him to go to hyper-dangerous Benghazi on 9-11 means the Turks insisted on that day, but why would they care about the meeting date, unless they were in on an assassination plan as the Judas goat?
Alternatively, the order for Ambassador Stevens to meet the Turks in Benghazi on 9-11 might have come down our own U.S. chain of command. Stevens seems to have been wearing two hats as ambassador and CIA arms shipper. His job involved moving between the far more secure embassy complex in Tripoli, the Benghazi “consulate,” and the CIA “annex.” So his orders might have come down either State Department or the CIA channels. I am unclear on his job title and true position, but either the CIA or State sent him his final instructions, and copies of those orders still exist, to be discovered on computer hard drives by future historians.
Ambassador Stevens meeting the Turks at the unsecure Benghazi “consulate” on 9-11 of all days screams out to me of a deliberate ambush. The Turkish “diplomats” (or arms shipment middlemen) left the meeting after dark and perhaps flashed their headlights to the Al Qaeda attack team commanders lurking in shadows. A coded text, a word on a phone, meaning, “The Amriki ambassador is there, with minimal security—proceed with the attack plan.” But that is pure speculation on my part. (The smoking gun clue will be the official CIA or State Department message ordering him to Benghazi on 9-11, perhaps using the preposterous “school opening” as a cover story for his later meeting with the Turks.)
I leave that for future investigators and historians. What I know for certain is that the rescue mission stand-down issue revolves around granting or withholding cross-border authority. And that sword of authority belongs 100 percent to President Obama. No weasel words or smokescreens should be allowed to cloud that very basic truth.
President Obama owns cross-border authority, so he owns the failure to rescue the American heroes who were fighting for their lives in Benghazi for seven hours. More than a hundred gung-ho Force Recon Marines were waiting on the tarmac in Sigonella just two hours away for the launch order that never came.
Semper Fidelis, President Obama?
Seems like I remember seeing an “official” explanation for his being in Benghazi:
“to be present at the opening of a new school”...
Or, some BS like that... ??
Another question is why aren’t witnesses talking? Out of fear of the administration or what?
The boss didn’t want to annoy his buddies with a show of force. The Americans were sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.
