Totally different era. Everything in 2012 was about purchasing and moving military hardware. The fewer people who know the inside story....the better off you are. Even today....it’s still not an admitted Obama-Hillary policy on the weapons being given to ISIS.
They have given aid to the enemy.
Of note: given to the House Select Benghazi Committee, May 15, 2015
Why exactly did Stevens and the Manager of Intel move to unsecured building from the hotel where they had been staying according to this report?
And why were his various requests for beefed up security so fastidiously ignored?
Who benefitted from the two men’s murder?
obamma and hillary, caught in selloff
....it all started to fall apart after Turkey siezed a shipment of arms....Odungo with his mooslem friends in the White Hut got caught with
their pants off and rather than deal with it...let
them die hoping to cover up.

She should have known that the mighty U.S. military was fully capable of responding to the Benghazi Consulate attacks within 3 – 4 hours.
Admiral Lyons – who commanded the Pacific Fleet and has extensive professional, direct knowledge of U.S. military capabilities – explains in detail what capabilities we had in the region and why F-16’s from Italy could have been buzzing the compound and strafing the attackers with machine gun fire within 4 hours or less....... the U.S. military could probably have saved the last two Americans to die in the attacks.....
==============================================
MILITARY.COM reported (during the post-Morsi ousting in Egypt), that US Pentagon officials declined to give specifics on conversations between DOD's Chuck Hagel and brilliant tactician Egyptian Gen al-Sisi (now Egypt's president).
(NOTE Then-Gen al Sisi, 58, received a masters degree from the U.S. War College in Carlisle, Pa, in 2006. President Al Sisi is revered by Egyptians for routing the Muslim Brotherhood which Egyptians consider a terrorist organization.)
Although officials would not discuss the specifics of the military-to-military talks, the US would have needed Gen al-Sisi's approval to move through Egyptian air space if Washington decided to send Marines to aid in the evacuation of U.S. personnel in the post-Morsi chaos.
READY TO ROLL About 550 Marines and their tilt-rotor MV-22 Osprey aircraft are at bases in Spain and Italy on standby if they are needed. A Navy Amphibious Ready Group with 4,000 Marines and sailors aboard, led by the helicopter assault ship Kearsarge, was also in the region following completion of the Eager Lion training exercises in Jordan.

AIN'T KARMA A *ITCH, HILLARY? the US helicopter assault ship Kearsarge, WAS in the region, ready to airlift Benghazi personnel to safety. If Hillary did not know the Kearsage was ready to roll, she's as incompetent as the rest of them..... her all-girl State Dept and the venal Obama admin.
Fact is, Americans were lied to----we were told men and materiel were not available to help endangered Americans in Benghazi.
General Petraeus could answer the questions about the weapons transfer and shed light on Stevens’ rescue.
That’s why he was railroaded wasn’t it? Backstop him as “untrustworthy” etc.?
So, she cannot explain why the embassy staff wasn’t saved without saying that weapons were stored there, to be delivered to groups destabilizing the Mideast? It does seem to be a lose/lose quandry for hillary.
Obama and Clinton are two of the worst people ever to occupy high office in the US, and there’s nothing bad about them that I wouldn’t believe.
But the introduction of US forces into unplanned urban combat in a third world hellhole against forces of unknown size and unknown deployment is completely and entirely discretionary for the Commander in Chief. It’s not his duty, he’s under no obligation to do it.
Anyone who voted for “Obama” would have known he wouldn’t order a rescue. There are no Hillary supporters who will change their minds because of this.
For goodness sake! Carter couldn’t rescue the Iranian hostages with six months of planning and a much stronger military than we have now.
That’s why this is not an election issue. I always say “nobody cares”, but I really mean “nobody who is not already voting for Trump will switch over this issue”.
It’s finished, and has been for years.
So, she cannot explain why the embassy staff wasn’t saved without saying that weapons were stored there, to be delivered to groups destabilizing the Mideast? It does seem to be a lose/lose quandry for hillary.

But why hasn’t the Benghazi Survivors told about the weapons stash?
Kris Paronto and the rest of the security team have to know if weapons were being stored there or somewhere else. Why doesn’t someone ask them?
That does bring us to the face of conspiracy, that both political parties and the global elite and the media are in cahoots with this stabilization and globalist agenda, doesn't it?
All true. In saying that, it isn’t an election issue. It is a character issue. Someone who is responsible for all of this saying, “what difference does this make?” is not fit to command US troops. It demonstrates that our ability to project strength from anywhere in the world becomes a hollow threat that our enemies will use to their advantage.
When added to every other lie that she has told over the course of her career, why would any ally want to stay partners with us and any enemy believe our rhetoric? That is the issue.
I agree with your assessment, except Turkey was the recipient of the arms. Stevens in fact had come back from a meeting with a Turkish official prior to the attack.
Russia blew the whistle on this operation when Putin went to the UN and presented evidence the US was supplying weapons to the rebel opposition in Syria.
I have a strong suspicion that Hillary’s server was compromised by Russia. They knew what Obama/Hilliary’s plans were for the middle east. There’s a good possibility the attack on Benghazi was planned and excecuted by Russian spec Ops.
When the UN didn’t respond to Putin’s request he outright warned the US to stop or else. After the attack he actually issued a “I told you so” press release.
They probably would if they could. These guys are special operators. They were hired to perform a covert mission and have been sworn to secrecy. They were probably hired for security and didn’t have full knowledge of what was going on in the compound. Additionally, if you remember, they came from a CIA safe house at another location. They saved 30+ people who have not spoken to anyone since the incident.
Loose lips sink ships. I’m sure they would love to tell what was going on, but doing so, could blow the cover of fellow special operators and cost lives.
It has consequence if it proves Hillary was arming ISIS through Libya and her and cronies were profiting from it.
