Exit question: Has anyone come up with a solid explanation yet for how this militia knew Stevens was at the consulate that night? He wasn’t based in Benghazi, remember; the embassy is in Tripoli. He was there temporarily, and yet somehow the local jihadis caught him at just the right moment. Amazing how they managed to put together a “spontaneous” attack on a night when Stevens just happened to be in town, huh?
That goes hand in hand with Seal Team 6 being taken out in the helicopter.
How could that have happened??!!
The contracted Brit security firm, Blue Mountain, had their ex SAS and SBS people in the area, who hired....get this— ex-anti Quadaffi militia to guard the Benghazi consulate (a so called “safe house”). THAT is how they knew when Stevens was to be in the place. How utterly ridiculous to contract something in such a way.
An even better question is one of the Blue Mountain people— other than the fact they give a rat’s rear about anti- anything Libyan trigger scum simply to get a contract from the US—how could they be certain these “hires” wouldn’t be snitches at the least and murderers as a matter of form. One wonders what they are saying if anything, for their reputation is now worthless.
It is just like what Kipling said about Afghans— you can only rent them.
The Rudyard Kipling Poem “Dane-Geld” (Dane-geld is a bribe by the way, not too different than the dhimmi tax on infidels)
“IT IS always a temptation to an armed and agile nation,
To call upon a neighbour and to say:
“We invaded you last night - we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away.”
And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you’ve only to pay ’em the Dane-geld
And then you’ll get rid of the Dane!
It is always a temptation to a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say:
“Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away.”
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray,
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say:
“We never pay any one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost,
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!”
Do you think Hillary had read Kipling? I doubt it. Sheer lesbo idiot. What a collection of moral scum.
Deo Vindice.
IIRC: the Ambassador was there for the dedication of a hospital the next day. Probably known for days. Even less excuse for inadequate security.
My guess is the ambassador was lured to Banghazi to BR assassinated.
