After several hours of thinking about it I think it's possible the same United States and Canada Institute analyst who came up with combining the Ambassador to Guatemala with the Invasion of Czechoslovakia was in on this as a two-fer.

Both groups of assassins were kinda/sorta ~ not exactly head-on terrorists of the sort usually found in their respective parts of the world ~ and at least the guys in Guatemala were also for hire if you really needed them because they were not well to do. The idiot militia crowd who did the attack on the embassy in Libya were similar and were run out of town shortly after by another more pro-American militia.

So, what was it the Russians intended to do coincident with the Libya thing that they needed a news cycle distraction for? Note also they had a riot in Cairo that dovetailed into this deal.

The other item that's consistent with the old USSR plan is there's somebody in the chain of command that doesn't get back to the guys on the ground. We were left hanging just sitting on the border watching (from a safe location on the otherside of the hill) for 6 days ~ yet we were the 'tripwire' that called in the deal at 3am ~ and I think all these deals happened at 3am.

Could this same Russian analyst now be working for Iran? They'd want any American gunrunning stopped if those guns were going to rebels in Syria.

That's a possibility since there's been chatter about Obama's crowd negotiating something under the table with the Iranians.
