Could the individual taking the video of the tape we saw be a CNN cameraman? It was on that tape we both saw...remember the man at the beginning, saying in English, “bet they’re going to kill him” - then we heard shots later in the video. The people going into the building behind him as he was speaking were, imo, F17 people, his security, they were clean shaven while al Sharia are the bearded ones - no razors when Mo was around. Just a while before that, eyewitness’ saw people attack the building from three sides carrying black flags - read that in a British newspaper. Thusfar the finger is pointing at al Sharia but I think the F17 were also involved. Anyway I thought it was weird that the man spoke to the camera guy in English. The people going inside later on, looked over and saw him, and it became obvious he was a familar face. One of them appeared to be carrying a computer. At the rate of all the people activity going inside, why not CNN, they were probably inside before the MB Intel even got there. CNN were hand and glove with Saddam why not the MB and their affiliates.
It’s hard to imagine that there were only 7 pages in the diary though, assuming there was more, what happened to the rest? Personally I can’t imagine any news org., in this specific situation, not calling the State Dept first thereagain I don’t know their protocol. This looks bad on the State Dept., lack of security reenforced but we knew that already especially since they were bombed a few months prior in June, albeit there wasn’t much damage, nonetheless, the Libyan intel told them to beef up security and Mark Toner from the State Dept played it down. Why didn’t they call in the marines at that time? It’s almost like they wanted this to happen - like a set-up by people higher up the chain. Al Sharia et al are only the assassins - they take orders from above. A General Younis was also murdered by these people..apparently he trusted them as well.
Here’s the tape -

A different tape...at 32 there’s some spent shells...some look old but one is new...wonder if it’s American? I know nothing about rocket-propelled whatevers...

One of our Seals, Glen Doherty, told ABC he was there looking for weapons. I just hope we didn’t supply the Feb17 and al Sharia with the weapons that killed them:

I really don’t know what to think Irenic, just trying to think outside the box. We’ll be hearing more, so much will be disinformation, but Freepers can smell BS a mile away.
What do you think of it all?
I am starting to believe that the State Dept did know this was going to happen and did nothing— they let it happen. Perhaps they did dub that movie and have it ready to roll as an excuse, not sure? I do think things went way worse than they had expected. The *why* is what I can’t figure out. I don’t think it was just about arms, either.
I suppose only seven pages could be because Stevens did know that the chit was about to hit the fan and he knew that nothing was going to be done? Documentation, documentation, documentation. ???
Not sure here and 7 pages does seem fairly sparse. I think CNN would say if other pages were removed/missing, they could figure it out. I doubt the attackers would have taken the time to be very careful in removing pages—what would they care if we knew pages were missing—they destroyed the consulate and murdered people already. Well, unless it was planted—which I doubt.
I think the reason there were reports straight away that there were files missing is because we have a mole in the group that did the attacking. He would know they took papers and report it to our people.
Otherwise, who from our side would have went into the burnt-out consulate, known what files he was looking for and scrounge around enough to determine that the files were missing, yet leave the ambassadors journal?
It only makes sense if we have a mole who was carrying out the attacks alongside the other attackers and our State Dept knew this attack was going to happen and let it happen, in an attempt to gather some other information? What information, I don’t know. The mole wouldn’t have picked up a journal but he could report what files were taken.
I think our State Dept, CIA had something going and it blew up in their face. The only possibility I see for them playing such a risky game with American lives is WMD’s. I doubt Obama and Hillary would want to scream about THAT—not after what happened with Bush. They would do that on the q.t.
They also wouldn’t want word of worries over WMD’s when an election is so near and they helped in the Libya revolution. Plus, there’s that Israel problem that this administration wants NO part of.
That’s my closest guess of the *why* but I haven’t sold myself on it yet...still pondering the whole ugly, tragic mess.
