The bad guys killed us with our own weapons. Make sure you delay the FBI getting there. They might find this out.

Or...

Benghazi was a secret CIA prison. You know, the kind Obama DETESTS!! 37 evacuees, some prisoners? 'Prisoners' would be a good motive for the attack. Delayed FBI arrival to keep them from finding this out; Lotsa gray bars!

When planes quit dropping out of the sky, or start avoiding the region completely, whichever comes first.

Ping, things we knew in October , does anyone still have a copy of ambassador Stevens itinerary ? It lists the shipping company he met with. I did not save it and it is no longer available on line. I might be able to get it to the reporter.

I have the name somewhere.

National Review is one of the pillars of conservative media — which means, unfortunately, that it’s not mainstream. Gonna have to give this one a little time.

Stingers? Not SA-7s or SA-16s? That would really be bad juju, since Stingers are US-made and the top of the line. If we gave those things to the nad guys, this is nothing less than treason.

Possibly this newest whistle blower has the answer.
This story was on the Drudge Report and it is being reported all over the web. According to retired 4 Star Admiral James Lyons, Benghazi was going to be used to stage a false kidnapping of Ambassador J. Christian Stevens using a friendly group of Libyan rebels. This event was to be staged to enhance Obama’s approval before the elections. It was Obama’s Kabuki theater for the zero info voters. Those planned to abduct Stevens, were going to ask for for Omar Abdel Rahman an international prisoner, known as the Blind Sheik, in exchange for the ambassador. Obama was to stage a successful negotiation, get Ambassador Stevens released from the “kidnapers” and have the Blind Sheik released in exchange to the “hostage takers.”

According to Admiral Lyons, this effort fell apart when the CIA Navy Seals Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty refused a stand down order and went in to the embassy on their own to protect the ambassador using force. Their action killed many of the rebels. The rebels were not prepared for any kind of armed response to their phony kidnapping effort. They were enraged at this action and thought they were betrayed by Obama. They decided to stage a massive attack on the embassy in retaliation. The carnage that ensued was a result. If this report is true, Obama is toast.

After seven months (since mid-October last), what we all knew on FR finally hits the MSM, sort of.
