US consulate attack in Benghazi: a challenge to official version of events

A year after the first US ambassador in 33 years was killed on duty, Chris Stephen, one of the first western reporters on the scene in Benghazi, pieces together what really happened from witness accounts, official reports, and the ruins of the compound

The attack on the US consulate in Benghazi was striking for a number of reasons: the date, 11 September, the toll – four diplomats killed, including an ambassador – and the knock-on effects on the careers of senior American politicians.

But what is perhaps most striking is the inconsistencies: the US version of events compared with those of witnesses and the facts on the ground. The two do not tally. And so, a year later, there remain pressing questions about what happened that night – and what the Americans say happened.

Once again, we have to go offshore to get journalism.

don=o. No links.

With 0bama being so hot and heavy on attacking Syria, it also becomes clear that our presence in Benghazi was directly connected such a plan.

Interesting that of the 100 E-mails released by the 0bama administration regarding Benghazi NOT ONE mentions the video. Not one.

oops

Do not know how that happened. Mod - can this be tidied up?

What about the 400 MAN-PADS at the CIA annex?

That needs to be our war-cry over Behghazi.

"The bigger question, so far unanswered, is what the CIA was doing in Benghazi. Neither the accountancy review board, the state department nor half a dozen congressional committees investigating the death of Stevens have made any public comment on the role of the CIA; nor have congressional committees tasked with performing the role of scrutinising the government on behalf of the electorate."?

Never forget ping.

Boy our news media sure did omit a lot of very relevant info. Now why would they do such a thing?.../s

[Uncle Miltie]

"One year after the killings, no suspects have appeared in court, either in Libya or in the US. Until that happens, and until the gap between claims made in the US and reality on the ground is explained, the American public will remain in the dark about the events of 11 September 2012 in Benghazi."

In a normal world, all the Benhghzi players would now be in prison.

Why did Hillary and Obama use American personnel, equipment and facilities to overthrow the government of Libya?
Libya’s oil production is at 10% of what it was a year ago. Notice that the same people who attacked our compound also attacked that oil production facility. Why, it’s almost like someone is trying to reduce the production of oil and keep the price high. Russia? Saudi Arabia? Soros? Who knows? Follow the money.

“No suspects have appeared in court”... There’s a good reason for this. 0bama doesn’t want them to talk!!!

My initial guess, the day that it happened, was that Stevens was Fostered. The additional information we have learned to date, what of it that can be verified and/or appears to be credible, has done nothing but reinforce that hypothesis.

The fact that Hillary was ready with the YouTube video explanation the day of the incident is the smoking gun. You don't have a cover story ready before you know that you have something to cover up. Being pre-prepared with the coverup story strongly lends itself to the explanation that she knew that she had something to cover up - before the incident actually happened.

It is my opinion that Stevens was murdered at Hillary's direction, just as Vince Foster was, and for the same reasons - he knew too much about Hillary's dirty laundry, and had probably shown indications of a conscience, a combination too dangerous to her ambition for her to allow either man to live.

The manpads may be the real target of Obama. You think?

Possibly, to save his own sorry a$$, but I'd bet they're long gone, spread out all over the world by now.
