The Libyan revolt started mid Feb. 2011. Soon after, July 1, 2011,Leon Panetta ( Bill Clinton’s former chief of staff) was appointed to head the DOD, leaving his post at the CIA. At about the same time or shortly before, CIA and British SPEC-OPs were inserted into Libya. Purportedly Hillary was lobbying for increased active efforts to support the rebels, with Huma Abedin whispering in her ear.
Soon after the first reports of the missing MANPADS surfaced. Did the Obama gun running idea originate at that time? I think this might have been the jump off point.
Whatever role the CIA played in the Benghazi/weapons debacle, it originated with Panetta at the head of the CIA.
The deep rooted moles from the Carter-Clinton regimes have their fingerprints all over the foreign policy failures.
The damage to our armed forces and intel operations exceeds that of Carter and Clinton at a time of active global islamist aggression. And I suspect the CIA under Petraeus will ultimately be more damaged then under Adm. Stansfield Turner.
“The Libyan revolt started mid Feb. 2011. Soon after, July 1, 2011,Leon Panetta ( Bill Clinton’s former chief of staff) was appointed to head the DOD, leaving his post at the CIA.”
A very salient point we need to remember, although that still doesn’t absolve petraeus of responsibility for what happened after he assumed the office at cia.
I have been saying all along from day one that this is classic clinton. CLASSIC.
