I agree, Turkey has zero interest to attack the US. I have posted the anology that the firefight was a “drug deal gone bad”. Turkish Consul General Ali Sait Akin might have been there as a last ditch effort to mend the deal or present the demands to Stevens to prevent the attack. Stevens must have not been able to comply...

The Turks may have been apprehended on their way out at one of the roadblocks that was being setup. Who knows. Maybe they made a deal to get themselves out safely and part of the deal was to not warn Stevens. Or maybe they had to fight there way out. This is a good report below. Watch the video. The Turks had just received their largest shipment of weapons to date destined for Syria just days before the attack.
Was Syrian weapons shipment factor in ambassadors Benghazi visit?

Turkey, no. Ambassador, maybe.

Also, apparently there was an argument over who would get what weapons on that Libyan ship docked in Turkey near the Syrian border. The argument was between the Muslim Brotherhood and another Islamic Faction. Now if that other Islamic faction was Al Qeada affiliated, and Turkey was asking Stevens to decide who gets what, perhaps Al Qeada was not going to take no for an answer. That fits a lot of the known variables, but I still think this was one of the opening shots of WWIII. The bombing in Syria that almost killed Assad was another.
