Was the Administration hiding something at the Benghazi embassy? It seems to me that the Benghazi scandal may not just be that the administration was not helping our men in trouble over there, but that they were working hard to keep Americans away from the compound. Why? Was there something they were hiding at that embassy?
SEALS Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were told not to go help Ambassador Stevens, and they are certainly heroes because they went anyway, saved the lives of thirty embassy workers and lost their lives in the process.
General Ham was going to offer help to Ambassador Stevens even after being told not to do so. He was summarily relieved of his job less than a minute after he made that offer. There was military support less than two hours away; were they also forbidden to help?
It seems to me that the Administration was actively working to keep Americans from the Benghazi compound. Why? What were they hiding? Does it go beyond incompetence?
I had thought the rumors of gun-running were far-fetched, and maybe I have been looking at too many TV shows like Sons of Anarchy, but two warehouses do seem to suggest something going on. Then again, if there were guns in the warehouses, why did they not use them to defend themselves?

Lyons adds, citing a Clare Lopez article at RadicalIslam.org, "…that there were two large warehouse-type buildings associated with our Benghazi mission. During the terrorist attack, the warehouses were probably looted. We do not know what was there and if it was being administrated by our two former Navy SEALs and the CIA operatives who were in Benghazi. Nonetheless, the equipment was going to hardline jihadis."
What else is the Administration hiding? Was there an operation in Benghazi that we know nothing about and that the administration is working actively to conceal? These are only some of the questions we need answered.
Just an amazing lack of curiosity by the media..... Where is Wikileaks??
Great questions all. Ping for reference.
I have been asking that as well since the second day after the bombing and a Reuters article talked about how many people had to be evacuated. I think I have read somewhere that most (CIA personnel) have been scattered around the world. I know one person was in Walter Reed. The Lamb lady testified that she was one the phone with these people the entire time. They knew exactly what was going on.

I believe this is the original source of this story about General Ham:
http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1621.htm
It’s by a propagandist for Russia - Sorcha Faal. She’s pretty famous for generating panic in kookville with tales of some facts woven with a lot of nonsense. Even most of the kookiest kooks know not to beleive her/his articles because they have been stung so many time. Faal put the derangement in the Bush Derangement Syndrome. The source for the shocking information is often said to be from “the Kremlin” as it is for this story.
Just so you know.
Why do you describe Navy SEALS being involved?
How did the AFTER of the fire fight happen? Something/someone stopped the terrorists and made them go home. Who, when, how?
But I saw a story, with video, showing the plane, supposedly carrying those rescued AND the bodies of the Ambassador and the other 3.
I don’t think the SEALS were involved with any conspiracies. They were brave enough to come to Stevens’ rescue when called, despite being told not to go. I’m just asking questions about what doesn’t make sense, and I’m glad that others opened more questions on this thread.
Why would Obama block the FBI from investigating Benghazi?
The Obama/Chicago Administration wanted control over evidence'. Obama said it was 'too dangerous' for the FBI to go to Benghazi - while watching CNN sift through the wreckage finding diaries etc.
It was NOT too dangerous. That was a lie.
I'm guessing the administration wanted certain kinds of evidence found - evidence that might not have been there at the time of the slaughter.
We'll know 'the evidence' is a lie when the New York Times and Washington Post jump up and DISCOVER Benghazi just in time to help the Obama campaign.
Watch for it.

I found this:
Evacuation
The bodies were taken to Benina International Airport and flown to the capital, Tripoli, and scheduled to fly to a U.S. airbase in Germany. From Germany, the four bodies arrived at Andrews Air Force Base near Washington, DC, where President Barack Obama and members of his cabinet held a ceremony in honor of those killed.
After the attack, all diplomatic staff were moved to the capital, Tripoli, with nonessential personnel to be flown out of Libya. Sensitive documents remained missing, including documents listing the names of Libyans working with the Americans, and documents relating to oil contracts.
Thanks for letting me know about the source of the General Ham story. I’ll have to be more careful next time.
You missed my point, there were no “SEALS” there, an Air Force veteran and two Navy veterans were there, the Navy were ex-SEALS, but not active duty, nor was the Air Force man.
People have backgrounds but THE SEALS were not there and it is misleading to say they were, Obama did that and led us to believe that the US military was protecting Stevens.
Yeah. And the Ambassador’s diary was there to be found by CNN four days after the fact....
Found it.
“Complicating the investigation, the officials said, is that many of the Americans who were evacuated from Benghazi after the attack are now scattered across Europe and the United States. It is also unclear, one of the officials said, whether there was much forensic evidence that could be extracted from the scene of The attacks”

TWO top brass fired within minutes of expressing intention not to obey the ‘stand down”?
They are covering up far more than we are likely to ever know...

See post 54, I wasn’t describing the entire area, just the men with Stevens.
