Shock New Benghazi book: Brennan was running secret operations in Libya
Daily Mail ^ | Michael Zennie

Posted on 02/10/2013 2:24:48 PM PST by JohnPDuncan

(Deputy National Security Advisor) John Brennan also ran a highly compartmentalized program out of the White House in regard to weapons transfers, and Stevens would not have been trusted with that type of information. Stevens likely helped consolidate as many weapons as possible after the war to safeguard them, at which point Brennan exported them overseas to start another conflict.

Elite counter-terrorist operators from America’s Delta Force were deployed to Libya as 'analysts,' which allowed President Obama to declare that America did not have any boots on the ground but was simply providing air support for the rebels.

Behind closed doors, President Obama had given his counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, carte blanche to run operations in North Africa and the Middle East, provided he didn’t do anything that ended up becoming an exposé in The New York Times and embarrassing the administration. In 2012, a secret war across North Africa was well underway.

With JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command), Brennan waged his own unilateral operations in North Africa outside of the traditional command structure.

With a small element launching from an airfield in a European nation, JSOC operations targeted Al Qaeda personalities within Libyan militia organizations. In the weeks before the Benghazi tragedy, they most likely hit a known associate of Al-Suri in order to get him to “up periscope” and increase his visibility, which would then make it possible for JSOC to run a targeted operation to kill or capture him.

The aftermath of one of these secret raids into Libya would have grave consequences for all of them, including former Navy SEALs Ty Woods and Glen Doherty. SOFREP believes the Benghazi attack on 9/11/12 was blowback from the late-summer JSOC operations that were threatening the Al Qaeda-aligned militant groups.

Who do you think Brennan was taking his orders from?

The man who nominated him for the CIA??

We are in the hands of the Muslims, the head one sitting in the White House.

Still in denial that our republican Senators put the traitor John Kerry as SOS.Unfrigginbelievable,

it’s quite possibly it... check the article I posted... I had to edit most of it for excerpt. apparently the WH were running operations in Libya and this is what led to the attack.

It was retaliation and Brennen was gun running from the CIA annex.

Apparently Stevens didn’t know what was going on and if he had they would have beefed up security. He had no idea he was a sitting target...

So is this why Panetta claims he and Hillary knew nothing about the gun-running? Brennan was doing it all?

This is a huge story. It should derail Brennan’s CIA nomination. I say “should”.

But what was Ambassador Stevens doing in Behghazi anyway, meeting with a Turkish official? It sounds as if Ambassador Stevens was coordinating a gun running operation and Sept 11 was as good a time as any (better, in fact) to strike.

The man from the State Dept. that was in one of the first hearings. “The Taliban is inside the building.” Or something like that.

Ill have it downloaded first thing Tuesday a.m. I’d believe a SEAL who has been there and done that over some administration tool driving nothing more than a large mahogany desk any day.
