The ONLY scenario that makes ANY sense is that Amb. Stevens was to have been kidnapped and then exchanged for the Blind Sheik.
Thats why there was no defense in the first place and that is why the heros who did fight were told to stand down and not get involved.
And of course it explains why there was no rescue attempt, AND why Clinton and BO called it a night.
I read on another thread today that the group that attacked was named after the blind sheik. Gives credence to the fake kidnap/swap theory. Explains why military was ordered to stand down.
And here they are....
Obama: I got your one way to Cairo booked
Sheik: Thanks
Obama: How was that cultural side trip to a noodling competition?
Sheik: Great....I noodled an alligator.
