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.
And, if you notice, there were ‘uprisings’ against the ‘insurgents’ (terrorists) over the weekend apparently orchestrated by the head of Libya.
WTH? Where they PAYED?
You make excellent points. I’m still letting it soak in...Bottomline: I harp on about it but my gut tells me that this whole thing is about the UN Resolution 16/18. How much easier for them to implement Sharia, not only over there, but also here.
A new thread on the diary:

I typed Feb17 into google as I had seen something else named like that (forget what), and wanted to see if there were others, there was, one of the top results was the May 19 Communist Organization, clicked it, turns out it’s the Weather Underground coalition. Apparently they call(ed) themselves the May 19th Coalition, or, M19CO - “name was derived from the birthdays of Ho Chi Minh and Malcolm X”.
On a brief scan of the wiki page the name Odinga popped out - havn’t gone further for a linkage to his African family but it’s too much of a coincidence. I haven’t gone further, sure many others found the same thing, will be interesting to read about it on the net.
Wiki - Weather Underground and Black Panthers:-
This alliance between the Weather Underground and the Black Liberation Army had three objectives:
1. Free political prisoners in US prisons
2. Appropriate capitalist wealth (armed robberies) to fund the third stage, and
3. Initiate a series of bombings and terrorist attacks [4]

No wonder Holder wouldn’t arrest those thugs at the voting booth.
