Aha. And what info was the Ambassador trying to get out of them?
Rendition, baby.... Obama-style!
Where our weapons were.
Prisoners but no extra security. None too bright of whomever chose to downgrade their security.
Since it was common knowledge of the affair, my guess is the FBI put this case together quickly. It probably didn’t garner much attention from other than middle management wienies. The biggies were to busy in election stuff. Holder was busy setting up Philly for the NBP. Then came an oh $hit moment. After the wild card whistle blower blabbed to Cantor the SHTF and became a political football.
People claim the government lies... isn’t that unpossible?

Why would the militia attack the mission first, if their brothers in arms
Were being held at the annex? They only attacked the annex when
The seals came back from the mission. I don’t believe it. It’s just another
Excuse by Obama.
So then Broadwell was correct in what she said. Maybe part of this was an attempt to shut her up???
If that is the case, I don't buy the proffered motive. Methinks this is "getting out" because gun running from Benghazi was starting to gain visibility.
Broadwell hiring Gloria Allred in 3.....2......1
Water boarding. 0bama. Water boarding. 0bama. Water boarding. 0bama.
I agree on all except #3. Guys dont care. :)
I get the feeling that over the next few weeks the intelligence community is going to be leaking like a porcupine’s water bed.
Romney had the perfect platform to break the Media silence on Benghazi during the third, “foreign policy”, debate. Yet, he let it go. He could have suppressed the Obama vote and moved people to his side of the aisle.
Apparently the bit about the detention center at The Farm are true, but I can’t buy the notion that the motives for the Consulate attack included the desire to free all detainees held there.
Spys are declared, or NOT declared, and the not declared guys neeeeever go to US government buildings because it would compromise their security —US govt buildings abroad are under heavy surveillance.
Obama’s cowardice you can count on, sure, but there are actually some really good tactical reasons for guys in charge at The Farm to have told the two SEALS to NOT rescue anyone at the Consulate, “If you guys get into kim chee up to your ears and have to scoot, then you’d bring all the attackers back here to The Farm, and then the US will get hit here, too, and not just back at the Consulate....those guys are history, so don’t go...”
I think The Farm got hit simply cuz the attackers followed the SEAL rescuers back to The Farm. Then, realizing that they’d come across a target of higher military value, they took 2 hours to scare up more attackers and weapons, and then they opened that attack also.
I think the Consulate attack was planned very well in advance and was executed mostly by amateurs, whereas the attack on The Farm had less planning but involved more serious weaponsAnd attackers.
The handing over of the 3 detainees —I wonder if that occured at the Consulate or The Farm...? And in either case, WHY..?
They hit the mission first because they wanted to grab the Ambassador to trade for prisoners. And no, it wasn’t Obama’s plan. The thugs did it. Where was the Ambassador after 8:30pm? We are told a lot of things. We see photos showing young men carrying him and we don’t know if he was dead or alive. I’ll be generous and say that he’s in the coffin that was buried, but what else do we know? Photos of him at the hospital? I think the thugs ran a “Snatch” raid to get the Ambassador. We traded two or three people for him. We got a dead Ambassador in exchange. So, we have Obama keeping prisoners in a foreign country after the Democrats screamed about Bush doing it AND Obama signs a law saying we won’t do it. They get caught without enough security at Benghazi. They lose some prisoners. They lose classified information. They lose four dead including a US Ambassador. They don’t send military rescue because they’re afraid a failure will ruin Obama’s chance for re-election(thereby writing off 40 Americans over a political decision). They trade for a dead Ambassador. The US gets run out of Benghazi with our tail tucked between our legs. And all this isn’t even the worst of it.
