Why Was Security Stripped in Benghazi?
radicalislam.org ^ | 30OCT12 | Clare M. Lopez

Posted on 10/31/2012 2:03:46 PM PDT by bayouranger

Data points continue to accumulate about the September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya. The picture that is beginning to emerge from connecting those dots is deeply concerning on multiple levels. Two related issues dominate this analysis: The stripping of security protection from the Benghazi mission prior to the 9/11 anniversary attack and the refusal to send or even permit local help on the night of the attack.

As Fox News Bureau Chief of Intelligence Catherine Herridge suggested on the “Mike Huckabee” show on Oct. 27, both of these critical subjects may have been driven by a perceived need to cover up the existence of the role being played by the U.S. mission in Libya to serve as a command hub for the movement of weapons out of Libya to Syrian rebels fighting to bring down the Bashar Al-Assad regime.

It has now been established through the persistent work of Congressional leadership figures and such investigative journalists, media and talk show hosts including Fox News, Michael Coren at Canada’s Sun News, Aaron Klein at World Net Daily and Diana West that the Benghazi mission played a central role in a U.S. government policy of “engaging, legitimating, enriching and emboldening Islamists who have taken over or are ascendant in much of the Middle East,” as Center for Security Policy president, Frank Gaffney, put it.

Benghazi Staffed by CIA Operatives: What Was Their Role?

According to media reporting, Benghazi was staffed by CIA operatives whose job may have been not just to secure and destroy dangerous weapons (like RPGs and SAMs) looted from former Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi’s stockpiles during and after the 2011 revolution, but also perhaps to facilitate their onward shipment to the Al-Qaeda- and Muslim Brotherhood-dominated Syrian opposition.

President Barack Obama signed an intelligence finding sometime in early 2012 that authorized U.S. support for the Syrian rebels and by mid-June 2012, CIA operatives reportedly were on the Turkish-Syrian border helping to steer weapons deliveries to selected Syrian rebel groups. According to an Oct. 14, 2012 New York Times article, most of those arms were going to “hard-line Islamic jihadists.”

One of those jihadis may well be Abdelhakim Belhadj, former leader of the Al-Qa’eda-linked..

0bama wants to oust Syria’s Assad because his (Obama’s) illegal war in Libya and funding the MB in Egypt turned out so well?

I can put forward some conspiracy theories about this but would not be appropriate. Really, I can not think of any reasonable thesis for this to happen in Libya. Nothing good could possibly come from removing the security so am looking forward to some ideas.

What were these folks in charge thinking!

State Department Officials testified in Congress that their goal was to “normalize” the environment or words to that effect.

Translation: don’t assign security based on reality, but on what you wish was reality.

If you’re getting pulled out..
1) pull the employess out first
2) pull the security out last.. they could fight their way out if need be...

INSTEAD... the White House...

1) pulled the security out first..
2) hoping the employess would fight their way out...

Fire Marshall Bill must’ve been in charge..

Well, I can somewhat understand that if relations were already normalized. Have a real problem thinking that they could essentially normalize without reciprocal actions by the Libyan Government (which did not really exist yet).

If that was really the case, just what the hell were they thinking!

” - - - What were these folks in charge thinking! - - - “

But, but, Axelrod and Jarrett worked long and hard on this! They meant well. Really, they did. The Commie Party was counting on them!

Russia always needs a buffer zone of nations between itself and the mean old West that are somewhat hostile to the West.

Besides, Obama had promised Putin that he would be ‘flexible’ after the election, and what could be more flexible than to deliver Syria to al-Qaeda with Libyan arms?

BTW IMHO, when there is a coverup of a cover up, eventually “somebody gets left behind,” contrary to the latest ‘Obama Says.’

What were they thinking? I just told you what they said they were thinking, and I have a comment on that - Dumbest S*@#t I ever heard is what they were thinking.

The world exists as they want it to, so their thinking never makes any sense in realtiy.

you have to answer the real question: why were the Arabs gathered at the consulate, what was their mission, who were they after?

Were they mad that the CIA was gun running to the Syrians. I don’t think so.

To me the puzzle pieces have formed a clear picture:

1. The Video - it was the stalking horse and facade for the reason for Arab mob gathering;
2. The real target - the ambassador to be kidnapped;
3. The denial of security - to make the kidnap easy
4. The unexpected - the heroic Seals. All actions post their engagement are a FUBAR mission;
5. Allahu Akbar - when they found the ambassador breathing, a dead man is not a good kidnap victim
6.Standdown - now self explanatory, can kill your accomplices
7. The purpose - multiple of you are losing an election.
8. The video again - only thing that the could think of as a denial that made any semblance of belief, although it was a lie.

My last question is why was there a drone over teh consulate anyway. Why had the POTUS, VPOTUS, and SECSTATE gathered in the Whitehouse. What did they think they were going to watch?

Well yes, I understand that this Administration lives in a different world but reality does interfere and I guess this time it did - big time. After all, most are Marxists or Communists and have no contact with reality.

Answer: a kidnaping to give them cover to release the blind shiek and everyone held in Guantaimo BAy.. to the muzzies..

They must have been “giddy” for the propect of committing heinous treason.. and stealing the election when the Ambassador and staff were released...

EXCEPT IT WENT FUBAR.. and blew up in their faces..
