Exclusive: Confidential source reveals to me what really happened in Benghazi
allenbwest.com ^ | May 23, 2014 | Allen West

Today as I returned from Detroit, I had a moment that I truly felt was God sent, as I don’t believe in coincidences. It happened on one of my flights, and it was two hours I will never forget.

I was seated beside someone who personally knew one of the men who was there on the roof in Benghazi. This person was excited to share with me the “ground truth” of what happened September 11, 2012.

My seat mate drew schematics to orient me to the “time and spacing” and the direction of the attack. I learned about the repeated orders to the men at the CIA annex to stand down and do nothing — thank God two of them, Glenn Doherty and Ty Woods, lived up to their code of honor and ran to the sound of the guns, resulting in their loss of life — but the preservation of life for others, their fellow Americans.

I learned about the proximity of the staging area of the attack to the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, and the attackers were indeed Ansar al-Sharia, a group affiliated with al-Qaida. I came to understand why Ambassador Chris Stevens was there in the first place and that he had in fact requested better security but was denied – the question is, by whom? And I learned that the Martyrs of 17 February Brigade were in charge of security and were the ones who opened the gates, then fled.

I learned there are those who are being threatened with their pensions being cut off if they come forth to speak.

And I learned, as I presumed, that there was a covert weapons scheme going on in Libya, Benghazi.

The House has established a Select Committee — quite telling that the same has not been done in the Senate — and those involved, to include the President, MUST appear before Rep. Trey Gowdy.

Allen West:

Mayhaps zero will be subpoened, since he was AWOL/Dereliction of Duty as CINC. Thighness will also be subpoenead since Stevens reported to her, and she did not extract him and his team.

CNN just happened upon Steven’s diary when they thought it was going to be a kidnapping.

I don't know what you mean by that. The reporter found the journal three days after the attack when everyone knew he was dead.

What I mean by that is CNN was there covering the story, then CNN for the next 18+ months has completely spiked the story.

Ah, I see. Sorry, I was reading the sentence too literally and missed the inference.

Well, if there was clear evidence of fraud, why didn’t the gutless Republican party do something about it?

you perfectly answered your own question

Trey goudy needs to add “pension protection” for any military officer who testifies to the select committee. That would loosen a lot of brass lips.

I would like to know why the Doherty and Stevens families seem to be cooperating with Nancy Pelosi in the cover-up of what really happened in Benghazi .

Don’t they want to know the truth of what happened and why ?

I suspect that West has spoken to someone who was in Benghazi and has put this material out as if third party sourced ... to protect the one from whom he actually got the information. And yes, I’m still up, awaiting the meteor shower, for what it’s worth.

I questioned a non sequitur post to try to determine what a comment was actually communicating.
