Exclusive: Confidential source reveals to me what really happened in Benghazi
allenbwest.com ^ | May 23, 2014 | Allen West

Posted on 05/23/2014 4:17:44 PM PDT by don-o

Today as I returned from Detroit, I had a moment that I truly felt was God sent, as I don’t believe in coincidences. It happened on one of my flights, and it was two hours I will never forget.

I was seated beside someone who personally knew one of the men who was there on the roof in Benghazi. This person was excited to share with me the “ground truth” of what happened September 11, 2012.

My seat mate drew schematics to orient me to the “time and spacing” and the direction of the attack. I learned about the repeated orders to the men at the CIA annex to stand down and do nothing — thank God two of them, Glenn Doherty and Ty Woods, lived up to their code of honor and ran to the sound of the guns, resulting in their loss of life — but the preservation of life for others, their fellow Americans.

I learned about the proximity of the staging area of the attack to the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, and the attackers were indeed Ansar al-Sharia, a group affiliated with al-Qaida. I came to understand why Ambassador Chris Stevens was there in the first place and that he had in fact requested better security but was denied – the question is, by whom? And I learned that the Martyrs of 17 February Brigade were in charge of security and were the ones who opened the gates, then fled.

I learned there are those who are being threatened with their pensions being cut off if they come forth to speak.

And I learned, as I presumed, that there was a covert weapons scheme going on in Libya, Benghazi.

It would be truly Breaking News if Allen West had a name and a witness that was on site and willing to testify.

What would keep this guy from coming forward? ...one can only imagine!

"And I learned, as I presumed, that there was a covert weapons scheme going on in Libya, Benghazi. We had been supplying radical Islamists with weapons against Libyan President Moammar Gadhafi, effectively supplying the enemy and destabilizing that country. And it seems that there was a CIA weapons buy-back program, the aim of which was to ship the retrieved weapons out of Libya through Turkey, and to the Islamist forces in Syria."

"Benghazi and the operations in Libya are shrouded in a fog of lies, deceit, manipulation, threats, intimidation, coercion, abandonment, and worst of all, potentially treason." - Allen West

When I read about them attacking the media and stuff, I know they probably have nothing or don’t want to really find anything.

The perps may have had this kidnap swap as a plan, but that would never have helped Obama. It would have blown him out of the water if he had tried it.

This country is not so far gone that we negotiate with terrorists all out in the open like that.

Three things ... makes the theory absolute if all three questions are answered in the affirmative ...
1. Was General Petraeus blackmailed?
2. Was the turk sent in to bird dog Ambassador Stevens?
3. Did someone, from D.C., send in the turk to bird dog Ambassador Stevens?
Find the answers to these questions and there is the gun being fired, if all are affirmative, and the rest of the theory falls into place with mop up questions (imho).

You hope who gets to testify? West? Because his airplane seatmate told him what the seatmate’s friend told him?

The WH call to YT was at 9:11.

Let that sink in.

More likely a dramatic rescue by the “courageous” Obama by sending in special forces.

He really looked like he was losing at one point before the election. I don’t put treason past them.

I find all this to be credible, but to be fair I sat on a plane next to a woman who ‘saw with her own eyes’ an object hit TWA flight 800 and swore by it. She couldn’t wait to tell me the whole story.

I take such situations with a grain of salt until otherwise verified.

Makes you wonder what McCain knows about this. Wonder how dirty HE is?

Respectfully don-o, the opposite appears to be true. I believe we have evidence that the obama administration has been doing exactly that and the administration has given us overwhelming clues that they have negotiated with and are negotiating with terrorists. Unless all these terrorists are our friends in Syria and as they were in Egypt and then Libya?

If Gowdy is thorough he will have the YT execs who took the call(s) deposed.

The weapons running is essentially a known known. <<

Yes....but why the intentional draw down and lack of security of the Ambasador??......makes no sense for the gun running....I think the Ambassador was supposed to be quietly captured and released for the blink sheik...with the lack of security and all the stand down orders its the only thing that makes sense...
