I had this live this morning on the commute to work. Astounding news.
No, no, you are confused. How many million dollars does an Air Force One cost? That would be the big loss. We would save billions upon billions if the president was lost. Of course I understand your sincere feeling of loss should the president be lost. /s/s/s
It's only a matter of time before somebody's sense of self-preservation kicks in.
Possibly, they were diverted from Egypt to the Benghazi region by the Morsi B’hood and whoever was helping / advising them.
Why? To help the fanatic militias keep control of Benghazi from the fragile new central gov’t.

John Brennan, director of the CIA:
They say he converted to Islam while he was CIA Chief of Station in Riyadh.
Oh! Almost forgot...!
He was an exec at the DC company responsible for stealing GayMuzzie's passport data from the State Department, with the culprit later SHOT IN THE HEAD in his car in front of his freaking church.
Meh..! Could happen to anyone, right? I mean, I'm sure that's completely coincidental, right?
And since that happened right before Obama appointed him to HEAD OF THE FREAKING CIA, I guess ole GayMuzzie just LOST HIS MIND, and up and APPOINTED HIM, right?
I mean, I'm sure that a career CIA operative wouldn't know a thing or two about control and leverage, and even if he did finally learn such things, then he would NEVAR apply those lessons to his own professional life, right?
Perish the thought..! I mean THAT would be nasty..!!
They say that in addition to the ole' LIBYAN MISSILE SMUGGLING thang he was rocking down there that Johnny gradually DID NOT LIKE some of the nightshirted gentlemen running around the dunes down there. And that there was some mission creep and that he, uh...
STARTED PINK MISTING a good number of 'em. And their buddies DID NOT LIKE THAT.
SO WHAT THEN HAPPENED, HMMM...?
The WH and Brennan were smuggling Libyan MANPADS and micro-managing the program in a way that involved frequent killing of baddies who didn't exactly see things the same way as we did, sometimes. And even the people who got them were (and are) very, very bad people.
WHO WILL WANT TO BOARD AN AIRLINER...?
“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act” ~ George Orwell...
Aren’t the two situations...TOO similar..? Almost seems so, no?
2K rifles @ $1K a pop....seems like chump change for them to have done F&F for money...that seems like an enormous risk and exposure (to 1 or 2 or 3 out of 100 possibly blabbing gun dealers) $200K or even $400K, this is a low grade fundraiser...
Now 400 MANPADS..even 200....still, I have to be a tad skeptical this was for money....but we have seen the greedy do execrable things that were far beyond stupid in hindsight.
Stolen? Thats a good one. Bet they want to sell me beach front property in Arizona next.
So they have had almost a year with these supposed stolen missiles, and no aircraft have been shot down? Why not?
It’s hard to get too excited when this kind of news only shows up on conservative news sites. My guess is it will end there.
The sad thing is obama and the hag couldn’t have done this by herself. Many more people, including members of congress and members of the military, helped them pull it off.
That was not a manpad. It was a hellfire and you cannot shoot it from a handheld rail due to the hellfire coming out the back. The article does not mention what kind of missiles these 400 were. Are they manpad or hellfire ?
Exactly. I would think if they had them, they would use them. today. It’s kind of like the rumors of terrorists having nukes ....if they had them they would use them and we’d never hear anything of it until they lit one off
Look on the bright side. When the people who got the guns are killing those who gave them to them, you and me don’t have to use our ammo defending them.
You’re right.
Hmm.... seems this might be a big deal.
Everything is out of whack.
Impeachment starts in the House.
wow, that doesn’t sound “phony” so much at all...
You're not negative.
I doubt the lamestream will even make mention of this NEWS!
Right.
first time they use one is going to give away their position
I would be more worried they were planning a many multiple target attack all at once
Since the missiles were for an insurgency, it is almost a certainty that the 400 missiles in question were MANPADS, and not Hellfire or a similar AGM analogue.
Something not mentioned —the 400 mentioned were probably only the ones at the Annex at *that particular time*.
Since this op had been going on for months involving a pretty high headcount I’d say very many other missiles had already transited through the Annex, on to their mostly intended end-users.
They’re making great hay of the fact that these 400 fell into the hands end-users unknown, but who is to say these attacking theives are LESS worthy of trust than the end-users of the other missiles that cycled through The Annex previously...?
Attacks and pilfering or not, THIS WAS A VERY HIGH RISK OPERATION.
This loose-canon reasoning fits the, “We are the ones we have been waiting for”-mentality to a “T”.
The fit is perfect.
Exactly. When you put 400 missiles in Libya what could possibly go wrong?
...they can say they were stolen, but why were they there in the first place?
They are more valuable if unfired. 400 would provide substantial leverage in an ahem, “prisoner release. “
BTTT!!!
Key words - “U.S.missiles”
Some of those ended up in Honduras did they not?
The Obama regime knows one of those missiles are going to be used real soon. That missile will be used against US or against an ally. That missile will be identified as a US missile and the truth of the Obama regime ignorance and treachery will be known.
It is just a matter of time and that is most likely behind the closure of all those embassies. So far, they have lucked out. Only because the enemy will strike when nobody is expecting it.
Wait for it!
Maybe the Chicoms can deactive them; they made all the chips in those missiles.
After Lockerbie, Reagan paid back Khaddafi with a large trans-Med US airstrike (which also hit Bengazi, incidentally). Khaddafi had what was then an unsually deep experience with air threats.
To guard against that recurring, Khaddafi had gone around the world snapping up MANPADS missiles.
Libya was full of MANPADS missiles and for a time after Khadaffi's death those arsenals went almost totally unguarded.
So GayMuzzie and his henchmen correctly saw that as an opportunity.
Then there was warehouse that was supposedly broken into and everything stolen. Was the door left open and a FREE sign posted out front?
It's almost certain the PRC cannot. It would surprise me very much. Generally their affordable MANPADS do not contain PALs (permissive action links).
That is also true of gear sourced from former WTO countries.
I still do not understand why Al Qaeda would attack a fellow Muslim...
Think of how many of our enemies he's put up in the Lincoln Bedroom. How many has he already stationed and armed right here in our cities?
The Frog and the Scorpion.
I don’t know if you’ve got the right “PAL” there.
In the electronics industry, “PAL” is near-synonomous with “PLA” (I don’t know the difference) and PLA is “Programmable Logic Array”.
I would have thought “Permissive Action Links” were generally associated with nuclear devices.
AQ needs to be given a rope and a GPS with 1600 Peen ave coordinates
From your keyboard to God's inbox. Thanks for the Ping, btw.
Because the fellow Muslim is insufficiently devout (fanatical).
bttt
I’m sort of confused. An Obama administration homosexual gun runner for Al Qaeda was killed and I’m supposed to be getting upset.
Well the military guys’ deaths suck.
The article is mixed on what type of missile.
The statement by DiGenova is a U.S. made missile. Recently, terrorists in the Sinai have used that Hellfire, which leads one in that direction. If we had given Hellfires to Al Qaeda in Libya to defeat Ghaddafi, that would be a source.
Separtely, the picture that accompanied the article was of an old Soviet Strela 7, many of which were in Ghaddafi’s arsenal.
So, there is still some confusion as to which type of whose missiles we were running to whom which ended up where.
Blame:
Bush,
YouTube,
Republicans,
Tea Party,
sequestration,
ATMs,
Wall Street Bankers,
Fox News,
James Rosen's parents,
Israel,
or anyone except the people charged with the protection of the nation!!
Have you noticed that Watergate has been a focus on the MSM as of late? “Squirrel!”
Ping for later
It would be tough. But I think the republic would survive. I am not advocating it. There are several good pilots and USAF personnel on AF1. I would hate to see them hurt.
