[don-o]

Well, Allen West's news from Friday did not merit the PropAgit machine. Thanks to a few Sunday Show regulars who contributed to the thread. I still find the thing strange on several levels - one of which is why West would release it on the Friday of a three day weekend.

Perhaps our John Dean will be the person who comes forth with testimony about threats to kill his pension.

Exclusive: Confidential source reveals to me what really happened in Benghazi

I saw that thread about how Allen West just happened to sit next to a guy on a plane who knew someone who was at Benghazi. Needed a little work no doubt.

I read that Don-o and...well first, I think every word West revealed about Benghazi happens to be true.

As I understand it, there was a gun running operation bringing guns to Libya to fight Ghaddafi. Then there was a buy-back program and the guns returned were ferreted out to the rebels in Syria?

Maybe Kabar, my cousin by a different mother, can elaborate, but I understand that gun running operations, secret and away from public eyes, are something every president indulges in. It’s just easier to sneak in weapons to those who are trying to depose those we don’t like. I am reminded of Iran-contra of the Reagan admin.

However, West says a friend of a friend of a friend’s beautician’s brother-in-law told him all this but still and so, I think it’s probably the truth.

I just sort of scanned the West comments in the FR thread. Not sure it revealed anything new.

I recall while the Benghazi attack was happening, we had thread posts about the CIA being in Benghazi because of 20,000 missing SAT missiles.

Ralph Peters, a frequent consultant on FoxNews, was almost in tears defending Sec. Shinseki yesterday:

...one of which is why West would release it on the Friday of a three day weekend.

Could it be, that he wanted to get it out right away? And, will there be follow-up articles/comments/appearances by West? Could he be going in front of Gowdy's panel with the info?
