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

Glenn Beck nailed it at the beginning...but he's just a nut case.

Ol’Joe’s a nice fella but I’m throwing the BS flag on the whole spiel. Even the improved version above isn’t really creditabobble.
I’m not buying the 400 part. That would have been more missiles than Quadaffy Duck had airplanes?

I’m not buying the “diverted to Libya” part either. What would the purpose of that have been after Quaddafy died?

How is it that some of our people had a free run inside Libya? They didn’t and couldn’t have been escorting around large loads of weapons without a uniformed, armed, sort of force——which would also have drawn fire before long.

“Distribution”? whiskey tango foxtrot! If we needed to distribute our weapons to someone friendly we would have done it by ship. We have weapons supply ships constantly in both the Med and the Arabian sea and delivering a few sling loads at night is just not difficult.

If anything it seems to me we have a whistleblower here who has his kazoo stuck in his sphincter and is making up more smokescreen diversionary stuff to keep Obamuzzie’s stall clock running. Nothing like a little fresh BS to keep the heap covered.

The media for the most part didn't even attempt to figure this out.

I know the story on the ship with guns on-board heading for Syria was before 09/11/12.

There is NOTHING that will start the revolution ball rolling. We've become too fat, too lazy, too busy watching Honey Boo-Boo or Dancing with the Queers. We've become the frog in the pot of water. It's slowly heating up, be we aren't going to be jumping out until it's too late.

Military Scramble Order Overseas, How They Work
First, I've got over 26 years working in military control towers, most of them as the watch supervisor/crew chief on duty.
Scrambling aircraft to respond to urgent situations normally starts at the North American Aerospace Defense Command.
The scramble order comes down through a secured phone call on a direct line.
In the attack on the U.S. embassy on Benghazi, the drone control would have been from MacDill AFB, FL, by U.S. Central Command, and would have been in direct contact, or maybe even remote control to the situation room in the White House.
Watch this 4 minute 48 second video Inside the Situation Room.
The pResident SHOULD HAVE issued to order to scramble fighters to Benghazi, to get there in minimum time.
Then he SHOULD HAVE issued a second order scrambling AC-130 gunships to respond to Benghazi, and have them stand by for more orders. This should have been controlled by the pResident, who should have monitored and responded with guidance from his Situation Room, Read
Here's one more piece of information.
Like Rush said:

Now we know that Obama was in the room watching Benghazi attack live.

I know from experience in the government (over 30 years) that the communication system allows for IMMEDIATE NOTIFICATION to the SITUATION ROOM,
as well as other agencies, of notification of a critical situation such as this.
I'm sure technology has changed and only gotten better since I retired, but read this with focus onFLASH OVERRIDE and FLASH.
There is more you need to read.
Read post #48 of ""Under God" Removed By Obama During Inaguration Pledge" and know that we were warned of this.


This has been planned for a VERY LONG TIME.
Obama is solely responsible for this.
Hillary claimed “No Knowledge” of gun running
and told Rand Paul he needed to ask the CIA
.


Let's look at some of the facts.
So, let us remember. For a better understanding of the issue, read HISTORY of Mohammed ( spelled variously; Mahomet, Muhammed, Mehmet, etc. ). then watch William Federer explain it, from Jan. 25, 2012 at CC Chino Hills, CA. It's a MUST WATCH for everyone,Christians, Athiests and even Muslims!

As retired military myself, I've seen the damage of "keeping secrets" about bad leaders.
Obama is EVIL, pure and simple.
Please watch Glenn Beck with Trevor Loudon & his book "Barack Obama and the Enemies Within".
Then watch the 29 minute 13 seconds video Trevor Loudon- An Urgent (and chilling) Message for America.

Obama may be feigning "incompetence," thinking he's too sly, being a "wolf in sheep's clothing" since his mentoring was from Fabian Fascism..
The "Establishment Republicans" will probably NOT want to IMPEACH the TREASONIST Barack Hussein Obama II.
But it's better for the country that Obama suffer the penalty, the strongest penalty for his actions, and his inactions.
Let's look at the Presidential Oaths of Office.
Now who among us really believes Obama did any of that ?
To Obama, that was "Just words. Just speeches! "
Damn him ! Damn him to hell !

I'll finish this with asking you to read Watch the 18 minute 56 second documentary video "Absolutely Uncertain" at "theBLAZE.com" or on YouTube.com, narrated by Irina, the 23-year-old “Jewish New Yorker” and a former Obama supporter .

One other suggestion, read DID OBAMA WANT STEVENS DEAD?
The language is a little abrasive, but spot on. Also read:

He does have an uncanny ability to fit the pieces together, then present them in a compelling fashion.

Problem is, he's mostly accurate....but he's a nut case according to some here.

"Never ascribe to malice what can best be attributed to incompetence." In this case, however, I can only conclude malice. In the extreme. Between this and Britain's now missing "air defence" system sold to the late Col. Qadaffy Duck immediately prior to his demise, I'd say we're pretty much screwed. Incompetence has its limits. This fustercluck was planned.

The total load of 21,000 MANPADS included mostly SA-7's --old and very vulnerable to such simple countermeasures as flares. BELOW:


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/97/Sa-7.jpg

Also with the SA-7 featured above the target must be silhouetted against bare sky for the seeker to "see" the target. So if I'm a hilltop rebel trying to fire on a helicopter approaching from low in a valley using the SA-7 Grail, then forget it, the missile sees nothing, since there is a mountain behind him.

But After Reagan's air attack against Khadaffi (much later it turned out his daughter was not killed in the raid, as he'd claimed for many years), Khadaffi imported newer Soviet AA missiles, also, like the SA-24 Grinch, below, and THIS is the real problem:


http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j5TUVPrTpqA/Tmh48bS0bOI/AAAAAAAAAXM/T2e2iOPYRrw/s400/SA-24_Grinch_9K338_Igla-S_portable_air_defense_missile_system_Libya_Libyan_army_001.jpg

It flies at Mach 2, reaches up above 10,000 feet, and the aircraft needn't be seen against empty sky for targeting. Also the Grinch needn't score a physical hit for detonation --it also comes equipped with proximity fusing, so if senses an impending bypass, it will still trigger. Also if there is remaining fuel, this, too, will be blown in the explosion as a kicker. Even with jamming and flares, about one in four Grinches will score a hit, generally.

What type of success might it get against commercial aircraft in their current form...? The Obama Admin does NOT want to talk about this at all.

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.

If there was any selling involved, those doing the selling were pocketing the money. Hitlery, Odungo, Odungo's masters, etc.

This would explain why 0bama is making no real effort to apprehend the attackers. If they’re captured, they’ll talk (especially if put on trial). And what they know could deeply embarrass 0bama. But nothing could oust the King. Not even this.

Hillary said "What does it matter?". In other news, California politicians are seeking a new law banning buying lower receiver blanks for "assault" rifles, to stop people from building their own kits.

Maybe we need a law banning importation of stolen missiles from the M.E. Damn politicians have their heads up their a$$es.

I have remarked about the curious similarity between Benghazi and Fast & Furious....it doesn’t seem to have floated anyone’s boat, other than you two. You make an excellent point, there. Bengazi Arms Smuggling FITS the Obama profile EXACTLY:

Swap Mexy Narco Kingpins for AQ fundamentalists, and you're 90% of the way there. They used almost the exact same playbook, to include betrayal of their own folks who were risking a very lot in order to pull off the plan as it had been represented to them:

In F&F at the last minute GayMuzzie's legal eagles tried to switch the tables on the cooperating gun shops by pretending the dealers had been ROGUES in selling the guns, instead of the truth that they'd been begged specifically begged to do so.

And in Bengazi the men tasked with a protective role did so until their very deaths, with blood splashed all over the rooftop M2 that they'd been manning.

Different continent, 'zact same M.O --nice and neat.

In either scandal anyone acting in good faith became a victim, while the treacherous folks at the top faced NO physical risks and stood to collect the benefits.

I think the unproven fliers are that there might have been a black prison site at the Annex and that Annex personnel or agents connected to them might have formed relationships with Syrians who'd come across WMD's smuggled out of pre-invasion Iraq.

Why does the Admin decry Bengazi as, "fake"...? Because Bengazi is an ENORMOUS POLITICAL SH*T SANDWICH, and the Admin knows it.

I listened to this interview on my way into work this morning. I work in D.C. and listen to WMAL every morning on the way to work.

They had two callers after the interview, one of whom correctly identified the Hildebeest and the the Kenyan-in-Chief as "bastards," and the second of whom, obviously a low-information voter, started ripping de Genova "whoever he is" for referring to the Kenyan-in-Chief as a "talk show host."

I tried to call in from my car but the line was tied up, not surprisingly. Kudos to Joe de Genova and his whistleblower clients!

“He (Beck) does have an uncanny ability to fit the pieces together,”

Apart from the birther issue, Beck doesn’t mind wading into conspiratorial waters. And he was right on in this rendition of OweBowMao’s Contra Arms Deal.

It always amazes me how skittish Rush is when it comes to the utter depravity of this administration. Rush won’t get his toes wet in these kind of murkish waters. He wouldn’t touch the arms deal scenario when Beck proposed it.
