The first thing Obama did overseas after his first election:
He went to Egypt and gave a prominent televised speech in which he essentially announced he was OK with the Muslim Brotherhood and there was this whole new Period of American Understanding of Islam that would be coming in. There were also heavy rumors that Obama would be negotiating somehow behind the scenes for release of The Blind Shiek, imprisoned in SuperMax for the first WTC bombing.
How to repatriate him w/o causing a yuge American uproar..? How to turn lemons into lemonade..?
They’d SWAP The Blind Shiek for some important American:
Hey, how about a freakin’ AMBASSADOR..? Problem was no muzzie had ever kidnapped one before:
They hatched a plan: They’d GET one kidnapped..!
He (or she) wouldn’t even have to be witting to the scheme..! It’d be like a naked chick jumping out of an oversized cake —the guy would be genuinely surprised, no acting needed:
They’d send this hypothetical Ambassador to somewhere pretty risky, then provide only token security. Then Sidney Blumenthal —who was already in charge of setting up Hillary’s ‘Pop-up CIA’— would prearrange with some really scummy local friends already looting the country to get him kidnapped:
“HOW IN HELL DID THE M.B. *KNOW* WHEN AND WHERE CHRIS STEVENS WOULD BE..?!”
Problem is people always frame that question rhetorically; they should be taking the extra step of ANSWERING their own really great question:
CUZ THEY TOLD THE M.B. WHERE HE’D BE AND WHEN. Yeah, they told them. The attack would be as spontaneous as high mass at St. Anthony’s.
When the attackers finally started pulling the job, the local hire “defenders” physically OPENED the gates and the attackers told them, “Dr. Morsi SENT us”.
I’d say that’s a pretty good clue, eh..?
Why when they found the dazed, sooty Stevens did they boisterously shout Allah Akbar..? Because they were counting their money, more or less, and a little premature, as it turned out.
It looked so bad —hmmmm, they don’t seem much like rescuers— that Hillary very high-handedly jumped in, “America praises and thank the *RESCUERS* of Chris Stevens..!!! Though as it turned out they were too late...”
It was vintage Hillary damage control, skills well-honed from Bimbo Eruptions. I really have to admire her chutzpah and calm, as they airplane risked nosing into rocky public perceptions terrain.
And after the snatch had taken place, cool Obama, who the public knew had once attended a madrassah and could speak Indonesian, would use his worldly savoire-faire to negotiate the innovative swap:
They’d get great visuals of Stevens triumphantly walking down the airplane steps at Andrews AFB, to the cheering throngs.
It would be like Reagan’s Iran Hostages return, but ten times more.
AND RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION..!!!!
The election was then widely forecast to be a squeeker, and this innovative “under the radar” plan would put him over the top by a whisker, and just in time.
BENGHAZI WAS ABOUT A RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN.
I forgot:
Why did the “rescuers” take Stevens to a hospital locally famous for being controlled by Al Qaeda..?
Cuz the rescuers were NOT rescuers, they were KIDNAPPERS.
Sadly, all of it believable.
When they were scrambling that night to come up with their cover story, how did they latch onto the Eeeevil video?
The day after Benghazi, Obama left DC to go to a fundraiser somewhere out west. Calm and collected like nothing had happened.
