The CIA has been subjecting operatives to monthly polygraph tests in an attempt to suppress details of a US arms smuggling operation in Benghazi that was ongoing when its ambassador was killed by a mob in the city last year, according to reports.

The Benghazi coverup gets deeper.

This is something FReepers have known since the night we learned about Barry and Hillary’s Massacre at Benghazi.

We had Hanoi Jane; now we have Benghazi Hitlery!

[brownsfan]

We know about it. The Brits are covering it.

The msm will remain silent, and the stupid public will remain clueless.

I’m so frustrated.

[Defiant]

Refresh my memory: Did we declare war on Syria?

[SERKIT]

We had Hanoi Jane; now we have Benghazi Hitlery!

With the infamous pantsuits, it is more like Benghazi Britches.

This is not news, and also not what 0bama is hellbent on preventing us from finding out.. There's something additional, relating to that particular night that's devastating to Hillary and I think it might involve the words "Morsi, hostage-taking, Stevens, and Blind Sheik'.

The smoking gun is Hillary's initial hiring a security group for Stevens called F17MB (February 17th Martyrs Brigade) who had previously been accused of kidnapping Americans. F17MB backed out and Libyan locals were tasked with the job. But what did Hillary do next? She refused Stevens requests for additional security. These actions by Hillary are the smoking guns. Why else would she do this, other than to set Stevens up?

What color pants suit did Hillary wear during the Benghazi hearing? HAMAS GREEN! Her stunning Arab Spring fashion was a show of solidarity with the Islamists.

Begs the question ...

WHY then was it attacked?

Were the locals not getting the arms ?

[Road Warrior ‘04]

CNN, and now the Telegraph, are reporting this. Glenn Beck broke this many months ago! And, (nearly) everyone called him crazy.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Yep, like Obozo’s purple SEIU tie.

[Starboard]

Exposing the illicit arms smuggling operation to Syrian fighters with links to terrorists was too close for comfort to the Fast and Furious scandal. So Benghazi had to be covered up at all costs.

An administration caught twice being involved in unsavory gun running operations would have been politically weakened, right before an election. Even now, concerns that the public would view these operations as being similar strikes fear in the administration. This is one area where hypocricy might come back to haunt the president.

[SERKIT]

I’m sure Huma picked it our for her.

[Ohioan]

The preceding question should be this: Why, if we had so many counter-intelligence operatives on the scene, did we not know for certain that special forces were needed to preserve the lives at our consulate?

Unless these CIA operatives were on some unholy special mission--and we can speculate on what that might be, but let's hold off for the moment--it is inconceivable that so many could have been in the dark about what was coming--even after the thugs started gathering!

AND ... were none of them armed?
Or prepared for combat/protection?
ALSO TOLD TO STAND DOWN ???

[HokieMom]

So, BHO’s got his own Iran-Contra?

[Former Proud Canadian]

Yes. How does it feel to be almost a year ahead of the MSM? So why are they still around?

[no-to-illegals]

Mama come take this badge off of me.

[Calvin Locke]

The story making the rounds at the time, as other have said, was that the CIA was tracking down the shoulder-fired SAMs, and Stevens was involved in the project.

The rest-of-the-story is that Stevens was setup to be taken hostage by BHO (& knowingly HRC?) in order to give BHO a politically expedient reason to release the blind-sheik to Morsi in exchange for Stevens.

If you'll remember, Morsi called on BHO to release the blind sheik on "humanitarian" grounds, but it was too close to the election.
