...but now I’m going with the gun-running operation. 30+ people is just too many people for a facility that wasn’t even an embassy.

I've been inclined toward the gun-running explanation myself.

But stop and think about that. If the admninistration admitted to "providing arms to the Syrian rebels", how big a deal would that be? We were already giving them money -- and what would they spend it on but weapons? And if somebody objected to arming the Syrian rebels without Congressional approval, they could always seek refuge behind Ronald Reagan and Iran-Contra.

I'm starting to think there may well be something more than gun-running to the Syrian rebels (which, we're pretty sure, was going on with Turkey's connivance). What it might be, I've no idea -- but it's apparently scandalous. At this point, I believe you've got to think like John Brennan...and I'm not up to doing that.

One of the things that bothered me the most was that pre-planned apology on the state department website. I saw it myself, before Benghazi ever went down. That’s huge.

Yeah, those are good points abut the gunrunning theory. If that’s all it was, that would make the cover-up efforts be way out of proportion to the original crime. Makes no sense.

It's a huge deal to the Russians.
