Attorney for Whistleblower: 400 U.S. Missiles Stolen in Benghazi
breitbart.com ^ | 8/12/13 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 08/12/2013 1:06:47 PM PDT by ColdOne

On August 12, Joe DiGenova, attorney for one of the Benghazi whistleblowers, told Washington D.C.'s WMAL that one of the reasons people have remained tight-lipped about Benghazi is because 400 U.S. missiles were "diverted to Libya" and ended up being stolen and falling into "the hands of some very ugly people."

DiGenova represents Benghazi whistleblower Mark Thompson. He told WMAL that he "does not know whether [the missiles] were at the annex, but it is clear the annex was somehow involved in the distribution of those missiles."

He claimed his information "comes from a former intelligence official who stayed in constant contact with people in the special ops and intelligence community." He said the biggest concern right now is finding those missiles before they can be put to use. "They are worried, specifically according to these sources, about an attempt to shoot down an airliner," he claimed.

If true, they were only “stolen” to provide implausible deniability to the President. If you leave them in a truck with the engine running an the GPS programmed with an escape rout then it wasn’t really stolen.

The weapons were given to the Enemy to murder Americans.

The US Congress is complicit and has EAGERLY
left the borders open to permit these weapons in the
Homeland to murder Americans.

Bingo.

All the signs are now pointing toward the gruesome twosome, Hitlery and Odingdong running a fast and furious scheme this time with air defense missiles. I wondered where those ATF guys were, I guess they went over to either State or the CIA.

Benghazi must be really big because they’ve worked very hard to bury it and/or pretend it was “nothing”, when the murders of a U.S. Ambassador and security personnel AND a stand-down order all portend something very serious.

Let's reorder the facts DiGenova presents, in the words of the article:

"It is clear the annex was somehow involved in the distribution of 400 U.S. missiles diverted to Libya into the hands of some very ugly people."

That's a clearer, more straightforward statement of his alleged facts.

To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don’t add you to the list...

Postscript, I sure hope that Al Qaeda doesn't get the clever idea that a couple dozen of these missiles swarmed at Air Force One could overwhelm its defenses. Losing the president on his next ME trip would be very bad for the country.

This is the same federal government run by Obama that provided a massive number of assault rifles to Mexican drug cartels under Fast & Furious, got our Ambassador killed in Benghazi, disclosed which unit of our special ops killed Bin Laden and then allowed members of that unit to be exposed to an ambush and killed...

This is the same federal government wants an open border and yet want does not want its own American citizens to own guns...seems to me there is something wrong with this picture!!!!!!!!!!!!

I suspect more than 1/2 the folks here at FR suspected that it was about gun running from the start.

I honestly believe that even this is part of the cover up story. The real story is that they are actively arming our enemies. If they can say that 400 missiles mysteriously ended up in the wrong hands, they can say they don’t know how the enemy got the weapons when it turns up that they are used against us. The truth is they were selling them, or giving them to the enemy. But it will become an it was an accident story to cover up their traitorous acts.

The Fox report cited above:

Jihadists in Egypt’s lawless Sinai Peninsula are using U.S. weapons to carry out attacks against the temporary government in the wake of the military’s ouster of President Mohammed Morsi, according to the embattled nation’s Interior Ministry.

The government office posted an official statement on its Facebook page along with images of an exploded missile that hit the third floor of a building in the city of el-Arish last week. The post said terrorist forces targeted the North Sinai Security Directorate office with a ballistic missile that struck the third floor facade of the building, leaving three soldiers injured. While attacks in the Sinai, which borders Gaza and is a haven for terrorist activity, have become commonplace, the prospect that militants have U.S. weapons typically fired from helicopters at their disposal is especially alarming.

Three photos of the missile posted by the government agency shows that it appears to be an AGM-114F with a label written in English and the letters “U.S.” stenciled on the side.

“If, and that is a big if, it was a AGM-114, as in the report, that’s not a ballistic missile, which conjures Cold War images of something massive and long range, but a Hellfire, which is of the type carried on helicopters,” Peter Singer, of the Brookings Institute’s Center for 21st Century Security and Intelligence, told FoxNews.com.

Egyptian security forces apprehended three suspects at the scene, including one Palestinian citizen.

A request for comment to the U.S. Department of Defense was not immediately returned.

Reports of U.S.-made weapons turning up in the Sinai date back to at least January, when six U.S.-made missiles were found in a cache of weapons bound for Gaza. And in February, FoxNews.com reported exclusively that weapons left over from the revolution in Libya were being sold at clandestine auctions is the Sinai Peninsula. The U.S. has repeatedly denied arming the Libyan rebels, though it did assist them in other ways with the overthrow of longtime Libyan strongman Muammar Qaddafi.

Egypt’s military has been trying to rout terror cells across the Sinai Peninsula for several weeks. A recent attack on a military outpost left six Egyptian soldiers dead. Some 17 security force members and five civilians have been killed in the region since Morsi’s ouster on July 3. Egyptian intelligence estimates that there are at least 500 armed extremists operating on the Sinai Peninsula. As many as 30 attacks have been carried out against security forces in the region in the past two months.

The Muslim Brotherhood has denied playing any role in the escalation of violence.

While most reports focused on the unrest in Cairo leading up to Morsi being removed from office, the Sinai Peninsula has seen a large amount of civil unrest. Dozens have been killed in the past month during skirmishes between the military and guerrilla fighters

I agree with you, but if they were “stolen,” this gives us more to go after the regime over.

Even if we could not have saved American lives that day...we had a responsibility to the rest of the world to get in there and protect those assets. Instead, 0bama ordered a ‘stand down’ and was a bit more than stupid for days on end about his worldly responsibility.
