BENGHAZI: Libyan protesters ousted a jihadist militia (Ansar Al-Shariah) from its headquarters and seized a raft of other paramilitary bases in second city Benghazi... tens of thousands took to the streets on Friday to protest the power of the militias. The group’s members took flight as hundreds of protesters stormed and then torched its compound... to the alarm of senior officials, the demonstrators also stormed a raft of other paramilitary bases in the city controlled by former rebel units that had declared their loyalty to the central government. Demonstrators paid tribute to Ambassador Stevens and the other Americans killed in the September 11 assault on the US consulate in the city that Washington now says was a “terrorist” attack.

Why post a story from September?

Arab News? September? Muslims? Yeah, that is a credible source. Let all Islamists burn in hell. Don’t ask me how I really feel.

” - - - It drowned out a smaller rally attended by just a few hundred people over a US-made anti-Islam film and blasphemous cartoons published by a French magazine.”

Is this quote a CYA plant by the White House with The Arab News?

BTW, just why did the WH include the French Connection then, but not keep on promoting it the way they did the video?

Surely the French would have chipped in to help defray the $ 70,000 cost that Hilly had to spend promoting the video to the Arab Street.

The longer Hilly takes to “get to the bottom of this,” the more obvious it is that the Benghazi Cover Up was designed to hide a VERY BIG US SECRET TOPIC.

My guess is that the CIA had discovered that some of the 20,000 Libyan Missiles were found in the possession of Al Quida, and Obama knew it.

I forget: are these the good jihadis or the bad jihadis?

I just did a search for FBI Benghazi, to see what was going on with the so-called investigation they’re supposed to be conducting. According to an NPR article, (via BBC), they spent 12 hours at the attack site on October 4th. A U.S. military security force accompanied them. No info provided as to when they expected to have their investigation complete. I doubt they found much there to help them.
