Whistleblower Attorney: Benghazi Attack Was About 400 SAM Missiles Stolen by Some ‘Very Ugly People’
Washington Free Beacon ^ | August 13, 2013 1:10 pm

Former U.S. Attorney Joe DiGenova shed new light on the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack Monday on WMAL.

DiGenova, legal representative for Benghazi whistleblower Mark Thompson, revealed new information from intelligence officials with knowledge of the incident indicates the assault on the U.S. mission concerned 400 surface-to-air missiles intended for Syrian rebels that were stolen by some “very ugly people.”

The intelligence community fears the stolen missiles could be used to shoot down an airliner or blow up an embassy, DiGenova said:

JOE DIGENOVA: We had troops ready to deploy in Croatia to go [to Benghazi] that night of Sept. 11, 2012 to rescue Americans. We have learned that one of the reasons the administration is so deeply concerned — we have been told there were 400 surface-to-air missiles stolen, and that they are on or about in the hands of many people, and that the biggest fear in the U.S. intelligence community is that one of these missiles will be used to shoot down an airliner.

[…]

This is why we shut down the 19 embassies recently. They were afriad that there was going to be a missile attack on one of the embassies. Remember, you can take a shoulder held missile and shoot it into an embassy, not just into the sky.

DiGenova went on to allege political concerns about the possibility of future terrorist acts involving the stolen weaponry were the reason the Obama administration initially blamed the attack on an anti-Islam video.

President Obama, DiGenova said, is attempting to “cover his fanny” by publicizing indictments against the Benghazi suspects to give the illusion “he’s doing something when in fact he’s done nothing”:

WHERE WAS PRESIDENT OBAMA HIDING FOR 8 HOURS?

(Rush mentioned cross border authority a few times last week.)

400 missiles? Yeah, that was the number at the annex AT THE TIME OF THE ATTACK --many other missiles had transitted through Bengazi prior to that.

The total load of 21,000 MANPADS (5,0000 of which were non-servicable and destroyed) 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.

Some officials are claiming that the recent closure of numerous US embassies in the middle-east was owing to the Bengazi missile fears:

Can ***ANYONE** name me a man-portable SAM that can also target, lock onto and destroy a BUILDING...?

I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING.

The DNC has armed the Cartels and Al Qeda.

They” feel” only US citizens should be unarmed.

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...?

I sure hope Former U.S. Attorney Joe DiGenova doesn’t drive a late model, high end blue tooth equipped car.

Maybe I am reading this too close, but take a gander at the scarves of Huma and Hillary. They are tied the same with a solid primary color. Somebody with a Gaydar can tell me that these two are an item.
