This is just like Iran-Contra, which took down Col. Oliver North and Adm. John Poindexter, as well as Sec. Def. Caspar Weinberger, only worse because it's arming our enemies with the weapons they use against us.

Will the MSM have the appetite to follow this scandal in a similar fashion, or will the prostitute themselves to the Democrats and circle the wagons of protection when it's not a Republican administration doing it?

This is what I posted on FR exactly as the news was first breaking about gun running in Benghazi:

“Sunday, October 28, 2012 5:25:26 AM · 76 of 97
flaglady47 to Perdogg; MinuteGal

“I did not see Huckabee tonight, but someone on Twitter said that Catherine Herriage told the Gov that she had documents that proves the Obama Admin was running guns to Syria via Libya.”

I did see the program and she (Catherine) did say it. It appears we have a sub-story going on here, two stories for the price of one. There is the Obama & his henchmen didn’t come to the Ambassador/our Seals’ rescue story, and then there is the sub-plot of weapons transfers taking place. A ship appears in port in Libya with arms/munitions aboard it a few days before the Sept. 11th ambush takes place. The Turkish ambassador meets with the ship’s captain, and then, on Sept. 11th, that same Turkish ambassador meets with Christopher Stevens, our ambassador, shortly before the attack by Muzzie terrorists takes place.

Why was this Turkish intermediary meeting with our Ambassador? Was it for the transfer of weapons from Turkey through Libya to be delivered to opposition forces in Syria? Was this our conduit for getting weapons to the Syrian opposition, with Chris Stevens, our Ambassador, being right in the thick of it? Why did Stevens go to Benghazi on Sept. 11th, with no announcement or fanfare or protection to speak of. And to meet with the Turkish representative, right after a ship full of arms shows up in Libya coming from Turkey? Turkey, which sides with the opposition in Syria, and wants them armed. And our involvement being to grease the skids and facilitate getting these arms through Libya to Syria for opposition use. The thlot gets plicker. Perhaps this is why Steven’s visit to Benghazi that day was kept hush, hush. Because he was going there to help facilitate an arms transfer. Perhaps, if one wants to be more Machiavellian, that is why Obama & his minions that night thought it might be a better idea to just let the Ambassador and our navy seals be expendable rather than draw attention to what the real purpose of the meeting of the two Ambassadors prior to the attack was for. Just let the Ambassador die rather than let secrets get out.

Well, that worked real well, as I must say that Fox News’ Catherine Herridge, Jennifer Griffin, and Bret Baer, have all sunk their fangs into this story bigtime. Also one mightily irritated CIA is spilling the beans to House/Senate Pubs behind the scenes, blowing the whistle on the Obama regime as to what really is happening rather than take the fall for this goon Prez.

Stay tuned, in best Flash Gordon serial style, for the next episode.”

Which makes the reason why Mitt Romney did not push the Benghazi issue in the debates and election as a major breach of trust with the American people. It was already clear last fall this stinks to high heaven and Obama would not be able to come clean with the American people what the purpose of “this facility” truly was.

Hillary’s response to the question revealed the “ Thou protests too much” admission of guilt by denial. A simple yes or no would have gone unrecognized.

Sadly, here's my opinion of reality................

We could not respond to the Benghazi attack until all the inventories of weapons were taken away by the assailants and murderers.

Or until all evidence linking the operation to arms trafficking was gone or destroyed, which included not allowing the FBI access for weeks.

Oh, it was worse than that.

Obama had arranged for the Saudis to supply arms to the Libyan rebels during the seige on Gaddafi. There was no oversight of the militias that received these weapons. Then, Obama decided that those weapons should go to Turkey, but the Al Qaed linked militants didn’t want to give them up. So, they used them on the ambassador who was negotiating the arms deal with Turkey.

This has probably been touched on by others, but Mesta's Comment about Running the blockade caused me to realize something

The Whole Reason this has to be Hush Hush is because in the future once things truly go to Hell in the MidEast, that even the Liberals can't hide working with the Egyptian Version of the Nazi Party (Aka The Muslim Brotherhood) was a VERY bad move.

But Did Billy Ayers and His Broad of a Wife try to Run the Israeli Blockade in 2010 with "Vitamins for sick kittehs" and was promptly caught and impounded by the Mubarak Government?

So Ubama is continuing the Gun Running to Hamas/PLO/take your pic, that was started by his Friends Bill Ayers!

I just blew my own mind!

You two are far more knowledgeable when it comes to this, did I get anything wrong?

What went on at Benghazi was classified. It remains classified. Don't look for any patriots to stand up and tell it all. The senate and house all know what Benghazi was being used for. Telling us that is a violation of federal law and political ruin.

The silly part is that a senate hearing with no immunity is just a poodle show for fun.

Now call actual witnesses and give them immunity from prosecution, and viola'. Just call some of those who survived the debacle..........Oh wait! they are still locked away, as hostages by our own government. Most senators are lawyers. They certainly know which witnesses a case needs, and what questions to ask.

Does anyone know if Obama was granted by the congress to run guns in Libya?

Yep as always “Freerepublic was way ahead of the curve on this one”...have to admit I’m amazed at the FReepers innate ability to root out these treasonous actions!

Obama bypassed Congressional approval for intervening militarily in Libya. What’s a little gun running after the fact to keep the dominoes falling in the Middle East?

Obama said the War Powers Act did not apply because the USA was not involved in direct hostilities with ground forces. They were only providing logistical support like refueling and sureveillance, and enforcing the no-fly-zone endorsed by the UN.

"If we had a legitimate media I wonder how long it would take after some pretty pointed questions for Hillary to give out enough dirt to finish Obama. ~~~~~ As this point I wonder if Panetta was put up to it by His Majesty to finish off Hillary once and for all."

The silence on this issue by the government controlled media is a clear indication that some bad things are going on with this issue.
#1. They left our men there to die with no effort to rescue them.
#2 Now, the question is "WHY?" and who was responsible.

We know the SEALs who were killed had made some contact because they lit the target for air support. We know the liars are working hard to gin up a plausible story, but can't find something they can put out there without raising other questions. We also know that Obama was NOT in constant contact with the monitoring team as has been said.

Maybe someone in congress will find the courage to dig into this further. America deserves it.

"...I hate when stories like this are posted because it gets us all in a frenzy and heightens our hope that something positive will happen, when we all know that nothing is going to happen to these SOBs...They can commit all the crimes they want with impunity..."

It is times like these that I take console that God is in control and the deceivers will one day be held into account. They may live long prosperous lives on earth, but life is a vapor and they will give an accout before the Lord in eternity. And hidden crimes will be made manifest.

Isaiah 26:21:

For behold, the Lord comes out of His place To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; The earth will also disclose her blood, And will no more cover her slain.

To destroy all evidence, like a profession criminal?

They would ALL have died if not for the SEALs. And they know it. Where are the survivors?

Obama’s Witness Protection Program...I’m afraid to even ponder.
