How the Taliban got their hands on modern US missiles

...on July 25, 2012, Taliban fighters in Kunar province successfully targeted a US Army CH-47 helicopter with a new generation Stinger missile.

The next day, an explosive ordnance disposal team arrived to pick through the wreckage and found unexploded pieces of a missile casing that could only belong to a Stinger missile.

Lodged in the right nacelle, they found one fragment that contained an entire serial number.

The investigation took time. Arms were twisted, noses put out of joint. But when the results came back, they were stunning: The Stinger tracked back to a lot that had been signed out by the CIA recently, not during the anti-Soviet jihad.

...sources in the US Special Operations community believe the Stinger fired against the Chinook was part of the same lot the CIA turned over to the Qataris in early 2011, weapons Hillary Rodham Clinton’s State Department intended for anti-Khadafy forces in Libya.

We are really starting to see learn why Trey Gowdy decided to lead off with the Benghazi investigation instead of the IRS investigation. This is infinitely worse than Iran -Contra ever was

Some 400 surface to air missiles disappeared during Benghazi...never found, it was thought they ended up with Al Quaeda so ‘at this point, what difference does it make?’, it seems Hillary either has no clue, or is just as traitorous as the rest of the DOJ...and Zero.
