The John Batchelor Show ^ | October 27,2012 | John Batchelor

My fresh information is how to explain the surprising scale of the errors at Benghazi. It is useful to stipulate that the building where Ambassador Stevens was attacked was not a consulate.

It was a State Department residence that was maintained to provide an explanation for the presence of the CIA station that was about a mile distance --

The CIA station "annex" was responsible for recruiting and training Libyan assets in Benghazi, many of whom were directed to the so-called "Libyan Brigade" that is serving in Syria under the supervision of Turkish Military Intelligence. (This is part of the operation aimed at removing the Assad regime and replacing it with Jihadist/Islamists sympathetic and beholden to the Sunni lords at Cairo-Ankara-Riyadh-Doha.)

The attackers were fully informed of these facts, as they are part of the Cyrenaica networks of Jihadists/Islamists that have dominated the province for decades. (The attackers are commanded by the tribes/authorities of the province.) Why was the US dealing with treacherous gunmen?

This is the infamous big picture of Libya and the Obama administration. I am told that, following the fall of Tripoli in the fall of 2011,

POTUS believes this gesture demonstrates to the Arab Spring's newly-minted Jihadist/Islamist warlords (Tunis, Tripoli, Cairo, Sanaa) as well as to the old warlords (Riyadh, Doha, Ankara) that the US policy is not opposed to Jihadism and Islamism (despite the drone strikes and the assassination of Bin Laden.) In addition to this gesture of apologetics,

POTUS has directed the US and its allied security apparatus to train and equip the gunmen of Benghazi in order to send them to Syria in order to demonstrate how the US supports the Jihadist/Islamist cause not only in Libya, not only in Syria, but also throughout the ummah.

From article

The indication so far points to a decision by POTUS, VPOTUS and the Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta, meeting in the Oval Office approximately 5 pm ET, to maintain the fiction of the video protest riot in order to avoid dealing with evidence of the wrong-headed US choice made a year earlier in Libya and continuing in Syria and so forth.

I am told that the reason the Jihadists in Libya posted on Facebook that the attack was launched by the umbrella group “Ansar al-Sharia” — this was reflected in the 6:08 PM ET email to the White House — was to counter the US story that the protest was a video riot. The killers wanted credit for their betrayal.

Wikimedia's take on Cyrenaica: Cyrenaica; Ancient Greek: Κυρηναϊκή, after the city of Cyrene; Arabic: برقة‎ Barqah; Berber: Berqa) is the historical name of the eastern region in Libya, which self-declared autonomy. In a tribal meeting the National Federal Bloc party declared Cyrenaica as self-autonomous region, but no actual authority has been observed on the ground, as the National Transitional Council still the defacto authority in all of Libya.[4][5][6] Also known as Pentapolis in antiquity, it was part of the Creta et Cyrenaica province during the Roman period, later divided in Libia Pentapolis and Libia Sicca. During the Islamic period, the area came to be known as Barqa, after the city of Barca.

I read elsewhere the CIA was there to find out where 20,000 manpads had gone.

Manpads are these:

That many in the hands of terrorists could ground every plane in the world ... all part of the fallout of backing the ‘Arab Spring’ (i.e. radical Islamist takeover).

If Obama-the-Undocumented could,
he would give American nuclear weapons to al Qaeda
and the Moslem Brotherhood directly.

For now, only MANPADS, country after country,
the chemical weapons of Libya, UAV, and INTEL
have been tranferred.

Meanwhile the piggies in the US Congress enrich
themselves while America is slowly slain by Obama
and Clinton.

How does ANYONE in our military or various security agencies put up with this sh!t? This is aiding and abetting the enemy. ‘Fast & Furious’ on steroids. Making deals with terrorists never ends well. It’s time for the ‘George Washingtons’ in these agencies to speak up and speak up LOUDLY.

Wikipedia on Ansar "Anṣâr (Arabic: الأنصار‎, meaning aiders, or patrons) refer to a class of warriors who are renowned for their arsenal of weapons and for their speed and mobility on the battlefield. The quality of the Arabian horses quickly led to these soldiers dominating the battlefield, making ample use of their array of weaponry, which consisted of javelins, a sword, and bow and arrows. The one military unit that was present in nearly all of the Arabic expansion of the 7th to 9th centuries was the Anṣâr Warrior. These warriors participated as infantry, but most commonly rode on horseback and were famed to be the greatest horsemen/infantry of their time."

Hussein didn’t just surrender in the war on terror. He defected.

"Why was the US dealing with treacherous gunmen?  This is the infamous big picture of Libya and the Obama administration.  I am told that, following the fall of Tripoli in the fall of 2011, POTUS Obama ordered that the Jihadists were to be handed control of Libya. "

We're expected to believe it was a kind of scorpion and frog thing.. The American frog was helping the jihadist scorpion to cross the river and the jihadist scorpion could not resist killing the American frog. Is that it? Even if the killings destroyed a valuable resource for the jihadists?

This reinforces the belief that “our” drone strikes in Pakistan are practice for eventual drone strikes on U.S. citizens. Nothing like planning in advance!

Batchelor is one of the best at informing on foreign affairs, and yet, Cumulus just replaced him with Michael Savage.

Fortunately, I can still pick up WABC 77 streaming on IheartRadio.

LT. COL. Woods testified to a guestimate of 20,000 missiles missing in the region, when Issa asked him that question.

The four or so security guys weren’t in on the story and ignored instructions to stay away. They did some shooting and the jihadis thought they had been betrayed.

The only way to not put up with it is to quit.

Many are in the middle of a committment. They can’t just quit. Duh!

The military is NOT a democratic organization or culture.

The question, therefore is asked by the military, “why do the American people vote anti Americans into power who abuse us?”

In fact, Woods did not put up with beong told not to take the American side of the fight and look how it ended.
