“trying to put things in chron order detail for detail”
...as if you don’t have enough on your over-sized platter. ;-(
BTW: Last week, I started to do the same! The time-line is complicated but absolutely CRITICAL.
IIRC, it was you who mentioned that they were willing to sacrifice 40, not “just” 4. It made such an impression on me because I had thought the very same thing on the same day just prior to reading your post. Don’t hear anyone talking about that (but it needs to be proved).
My own requirements are to source every detail, and for now, I am working in MS Windows within a little MacBook Air. Appreciative for the slick machine, but footprint not big enough for mega-research.
If I can be of any help with your project, FreepMail me. The Benghazi betrayal/treason will never be understood without a timeline (and the known positions of available assets).
Just a few points that stood out to me about the timeline that no one has dealt with:
Essential to post events both in Benghazi time AND est time (for one’s own and readers’ sanity). In the beginning, Adm was slippery about this and the media was sloppy.
IIRC, Stevens’ death was approx 1am Benghazi time (7pm, est) IMO. Hospital worked on his body for 45 min before pronouncing him dead. These details had to be known by Adm far sooner than it was reported, maybe by as much as 8 hrs prior. I think it can/will be proved when Adm first had knowledge of his death, and that fact will be important.
7:00pm (est) 1 am Wed (Benghazi)— an additional CIA team of about six security officers from the embassy in Tripoli had arrived at Benghazi. [Detained for 3 hrs!!!???]
At 1:15am (Benghazi time) CIA reinforcements arrive at Benghazi Airport from a 45min flight from Tripoli in a plane they hastily chartered. That team, which includes Glen Doherty, doesn’t leave the Benghazi airport until 4:30am. They are held up by Libyan authorities.
That team wanted to go to hospital to retrieve Ambassador Steven’s body, but couldn’t because the hospital, according to the CIA, was surrounded by the Ansar al Sharia militia, an al-Qaeda-linked group behind the attack. hmmm... to this point!!!
Have to go back to the beginning. In the beginning, there was a PLAN. Whose plan? What were the goals? Who were the players, top and bit?
Must define motives...and there were several, not just one. This was a plan that had to be carried out almost perfectly to succeed, but the bit players were out of sync. No one knew what the left hand was doing. The embassy idiots in Cairo jumped out there hours earlier than they should have. The marbles scattered from there.
That was the first red flag that made everyone else go “hmmmmm.”
