This Is What Benghazi ‘Consulate’ Really Was
KleinOnline ^ | Oct. 17, 2012 | Aaron Klein

The U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, actually served as a meeting place to coordinate aid for the rebel-led insurgencies in the Middle East, according to Middle Eastern security officials.

Among the tasks performed inside the building was collaborating with Arab countries on the recruitment of fighters – including jihadists – to target Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria.

The distinction may help explain why there was no major public security presence at what has been described as a “consulate.” Such a presence would draw attention to the shabby, nondescript building that was allegedly used for such sensitive purposes.

The security officials divulged the building was routinely used by Stevens and others to coordinate with the Turkish, Saudi and Qatari governments on supporting the insurgencies in the Middle East, most prominently the rebels opposing Assad’s regime in Syria.

Stevens served as a key contact with the Saudis to coordinate the recruitment by Saudi Arabia of Islamic fighters from North Africa and Libya. The jihadists were sent to Syria via Turkey to attack Assad’s forces, said the security officials.

In August, KleinOnline quoted a senior Syrian source claiming at least 500 hardcore mujahedeen from Afghanistan, many of whom were spearheading efforts to fight the U.S. there, were killed in clashes with Syrian forces last month.

Also last month, KleinOnline reported Jihadiya Salafia in the Gaza Strip, a group that represents al-Qaida in the coastal territory, had declared three days of mourning for its own jihadists who died in Syria in recent weeks.

So it was mostly a CIA operation not unlike Iran-Contra.

Still, arming the muzzie bros is not a good idea.

Klein believes that Obama would prefer the discussion be about his competence in defending a US outpost rather than have the discussion be about him arming Islamic jihadists.

I wonder whether the building was also used to warehouse the weapons being handed out — or, at least, whether the attackers believed that weapons were being stored there.

According to Bret Baeirs report, Amb Stevens met with a fellow diplomat, from Turkey at the site formerly known as the consulate.
Knowing as we do now, that Amb Stevens was getting more and more worried about his plight in the days immediately before the attack.

Was he asking for help from the Turkish diplomat? Or was it regarding plans to move the weapons?

Okay, since this appears to have been a site used to work against America’s interests, do I have to cheer for the “ambassader’s” murderers? I already have to side with Russia on the situation in Syria.

Well then it was very stupid to have the ambassador’s office there.

RE: "side with Russia on the situation in Syria."

Benghazi.. who really done it?

GAFFNEY: The real reason behind Benghazigate

[Who done it?] Jihadists don't like us and would attack us, just as they would any enemy, is plausible on the surface, ... but under closer scrutiny doesn't pass the smell test.

Assad benefits from the destruction that just may end the U.S. activity in Libya, who is ruthless as hell and helping Assad?

I know! I know! I know who done it! Putin.

LBJ and Nixon covered up the Soviet destruction of, and deaths of all aboard, our USS Scorpion.

Pleased to meet you. Hope you guess my name.

But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game.

Didn’t obama and Putin have a spat over Syria? Putin was sending troops to Syria to evacuate their people. That was his story anyway.

Well, I’lbee,, if this story is anywhere close to what happened in Benghazi, I may not feel so bad about the ambasador and his people, amd I might begin to understand why the President choose to lie and blame that movie, after all it is much the lesser of two evils, much as that blue dress and I did not have sexual relation with that woman was better for Clinton than the money laundering donation from China and Indonesia. that stupid movie might just be the blue dress with stains on it, time will tell, but likely not until after the election, no mather who winns it

Yes and over the past year various Internet sources like Fox report: "Mar 19, 2012 - Reports of Russian anti-terror troops on the ground in Syria is raising new concerns . . . ."

Vladimir Putin’s comments on events in Libya

Oh yes, yes she was.

I would say at this point that the enemy infiltration of our government is complete and it goes to the highest office the land. There is no doubt in my mind at all.

I think that this is going to get much, much worse very quickly.

It is then very possible that Syrians were behind false flagging this attack.
