There was more than one thing going on in Benghazi. You had the CIA trying to recapture weapons from terrorists who hate America. And then you had the deal made by some unk own entity to allow the ambassador to be kidnapped in order to exchange him with someone else possibly the blind sheik. The Americans at the annex were unaware of the kidnapping scenario because that is the kind of thing that would only be known to the most trustworthy of trustworthy. So only a few people in the White House. Petraeus was not in that loop. Petraeus was not in the loop on the video nonsense either. Because it was a fabricated story by whomever in the White House was running the kidnapping show. Soooo, the attack on the mission began. The mission puts out a call for help. We know the rest of the story.
Just a theory.
Just a guess from here at my keyboard. The theory could go a number of ways. That’s the trouble with theories, a theory can go almost any number of ways. Since we do not have the truth, at this point, and are guessing and reading opinion articles. I’ll offer a guess or theory later up thread on the pings coming in. I’ll perhaps be wrong, but will try to make sense.
