There was never any intent of Stevens being killed, the intent was for him to be held hostage and paint Obama as Carter II..
He was supposed to be held until the day Romney was sworn in, then released. The dems would then claim Romney and the repubs arranges for his capture to bring down Obama.
Even if Romney starts to undo Obamas policies on day one, the economy will more than likely crash anyway.
Better for the dems to have a repub in the WH when it crashes than a dems in their 2nd term.
By getting Romney into the WH they have both domestic and foreign policy covered as to blaming it on the repubs.
I think it was to keep Hillary out in 2116.Maybe what you think is true and it was a double cross.
