Seems there are others who question Chris Stevens assignment and unfortunate demise. Found the following comment on another site very interesting:
Is this what really happened to Ambassador Chris Stevens?
Theres a lot of weirdness and unanswered (and unasked) questions circulating around the recent tragedy in Benghazi. For instance: What is a top diplomatan ambassadordoing in Benghazi? Thats like wondering around East Palo Alto after dark with a sign on you saying fat wallet, unarmed. And ambassadors dont travel in the hold of cargo ships to enter a country like his public bio has stated. Why was he in Benghazi in a regular unarmored car? Engineers in Iraq rode around in up armored cars and theyre no where near as important as an ambassador. Why did the SEAL protecting him state just a couple weeks earlier in an interview on ABC that he was rounding up weapons in Libya? Security detail do NOT double as weapons collection. And why did Sean Smith, one of the two SEALs, just minutes before his death, post a message on a gaming site that he might not live past the night?
Is this whats really going on. . ?
Chris Stevens was not a pressed suit, pencil pushing, clean hands diplomat. He was a high level CIA operative. During the Arab Spring, Obama signed authorization to aid the Libyan rebels. He made it very public that this was not aid, it was approval to send aid. Any actual aid would be classified. And we heard nothing more on the question of aid since then.
Chris Stevens was the CIA operative in charge of funding the Libyan rebels (who used Benghazi as a stonghold) and equiping them with arms. Now fast forward to today. As a matter of routine or as a special case the US now needs to round up the weapons it distributed. It would be a tragic embarrassment to have Americans in Libya killed by weapons issued by America. Other operatives gather the weapons in a place in Benghazi. The Libyans want to deal with the man himself who brokered the original deal not his delegate for security reasons. So Stevens gets a short notice call while in Europe that he needs to get to Libya ASAP. He flies into an undisclosed location and gets in an unarmored car to not attract attention. Something goes wrong with the deal and he is transfered to a consulate safe house which is nothing more elaborate than a rental house with burglar bars on the window. He and his security detail are inside and Sean Smith notices that cops are taking pictures of the exits (very strange and alarming) and posts his situation on the gaming website not because he has a hankering for some gaming but because he sees his situation is very bad and this is the only way (or the established way) to get a message out.
Rockets hit. The SEALS die. Stevens dies of smoke inhalation. Then the attackers make a phone call to the organizers that the riots should now begin (Stevens died very shortly before the riots began. Coincidence? You would expect him to die after they started since the violence in the protests is blamed as the cause of his death.)
And now weve learned that the State Department has been in negotiations with Egypt to release Omar Abdel Rahmanthe blind sheik responsible for the first World Trade Center bombing. Would this have been another appeasement to the Muslim Brotherhood had not the story been broken? (Since the story broke, a group of congressmen have issued an unequivical warning to the State Department that they should not and will not release the blind sheik.)
Whats going on here?
If your scenario is true, then it sounds as if he was lured to his death, but by whom?
***It would be a tragic embarrassment to have Americans in Libya killed by weapons issued by America.*** F&F 2.0
IMO, Chris Stevens was not “murdered” or “killed.” He was ASSASSINATED.
And why did Sean Smith, one of the two SEALs, just minutes before his death, post a message on a gaming site that he might not live past the night?
***********************************************
That’s the same mistake Beck made.-————
* Sean Smith, the Foreign Service Information Management Officer assigned to the American consulate in Benghazi.
* Sean Smith was ex-Navy, spent 10 years in.
I am assuming you have a reliable source for such an unequivocal statement. I'm not saying that Stevens was not a spook, but to state it in such stark terms seems to draw a conclusion that is at least a little beyond the evidence.
I don’t disagree with you outright, but some clarifications:
1. SEALs on site were not SEALs. They were private contractors whom were once Navy SEALs. They were detailed by the State Dept. to find ground-to-air missiles. They had been fairly successful in this effort.
2. Those SEALs were not his security detail.
3. Sean Smith was a USAF Communications Spec., not a SEAL. He was Stevens’ comms guy.
4. You don’t make your CIA man the Ambassador. But Sean Smith could have been the active CIA man on scene. Which is why he was there. It’s possible, but not a definite.
5. All four of these men were not protected because Hillary Clinton is not a smart person. There was, apparently, no security detail for Stevens; neither in Bengahzi, nor Tripoli.
6. Steven’s State Dept. rise/career has been public. He’s in the diplomatic corps and his trip to Libya was pretty well publicized after Hillary swore him in her self.
7. Sean Smith posted that comment on his game because that is how he communicates with the CIA handler... and his buddies in the game. It’s a two-fer!
8. I believe that Stevens never made it to the safe house. From what I understand.
Summary: So why would an Ambassador, a weapons destruction team, and a comms guy (God knows, maybe the CIA man) be in the Bengahzi Consulate at 10PM on 9/11?
A very private and important meeting about a cache of missiles.
Which it turns out was an ambush.
great info in #12. thanks!
