Thanks Matt for the excellent post. I agree. That doesn't happen often.
I just saw you on Caravan to Midnight and I understand. There is only one thing I would disagree with and that is what happened in Benghazi. I don't know if Hillary was partly engaged (as much as a stupid drunk can be), or if she felt there was a weighted political gain to their calculus. It exploded and our occupation media ran cover.
My opinion is they were working with the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in this operation. This was a kidnapping that went "wrong" because of some of the best patriots we could of ever had were on site. They lost their lives believing rightly in their actions and tragically believing wrongly in the integrity of our political leadership. The culpable is a discussion for another day and the gallows we will have to build.
Simply, this was a deal made with Morsi to exchange the Blind Sheik for the Ambassador. The exchange would have given the MB standing in the Egyptian Coup (at least amongst the American People) and "everyone would have been a winner." Just part of the islamic foreign policy plans directed by Jarret. It didn't turn out as planned and the White House has been in cover mode ever since. Of course this could not have happened with a compliant media of true believers.
Just my two cents. Excellent interview. A very lonely one at that. I understand under different circumstances after working in Whabbi Central for many years.
Bump your important and well written warning to the top.
That’s possible, and some day it might be proven, but probably not. But the fact that the media has still not drilled down to even ask about “cross-border authority” vs “stand-down orders” shows that they are both stupid and corrupt. The mere fact that Obama and Hillary hid all night, abandoning the mission to its fate, is to me the real scandal. An ambassador is equal in rank to a 4-star general. Ours was kidnapped and thought to be in AQ hands, and they literally hid, so no CBA could be granted.
I am not amazed by much, but that amazes me, that the media has still not focused on the most important issue. Where the arms were going? Embarrassing. Hiding, while a mission is murdered without sending the cavalry? Shameful and dishonorable on every level.
And the media is still oblivious to CBA.
