Yes, years ago there was a CH-47 Chinook flying along in Afghanistan: Suddenly an air-threat warning went off and they were struck by a MAENADS. They did make a safe emergency landing and after some fear and repairs they succeeded in returning to base.

A search found that lodged in an engine nacelle there was a missile fragment; it showed a serial number showing that it was a STINGER that had been sold to Qatar and then by some shady magic had found it’s way to Afghanistan.

There was also a female Hispanic helicopter pilot who was KILLED by a US MANPADS.

That story is very, very deeply buried.

All ‘rebel’ forces where ever they are found are just off shoots of the MB - AQ, ISIS, Nusura - whatever - make the distinction at your own peril.

We know Glen Doherty’s mission was to locate and destroy the MANPADS.

I remember the story. The version that I heard was that it was a gunship and the missle had been assigned to the CIA to be given to the Libyan "rebels".

Haven't been able to track the original story down though.

That is why they sent no one to help the 34 staff who were being shot to pieces in the attack. So, our own arms killed these 4 patriots and maimed many of the staffers. No help was sent. Ham should have resigned on the spot. Panetta should be tried for treason. Obama and clinton should be tried for treason. It boggles the mind to know the depth of depravity of those democrats that run the country.

It is my view that Trump should run with this. It is clear from you links to FOI review articles and the Assange work that there is irrefutable evidence that clinton knowing supplied a broad range of Jihadist with high level weapons— some , such as SAM 7 Man Pads are classified as WMD. She did so recklessly and knowingly and the consequences have benn thousands of innocent lives and the explosion of ISI onto the world stage. The MSM will not expose anything to deter the socialist takeover of this country. Nothing— we know that now. But Trump or Chris Wallace have a forum to expose her to millions who do not know. The time is now.

From my reading of Operation Zero Footprint, it was the CIA annex themselves who were arming rebels, why it was hush hush off the books and why couldn’t call help, out of the loop. Though DIA armed forces know a bit what’s going on in their theater with their drones but did they know specifics?

If he does he needs to break it down into a piece that even LIVs can understand - that she and Obama deliberately created ISIS, they lied about the video being the cause of the event, they withheld military units that could have been deployed and let them die intentionally to bury the the truth while addressing what role they played in the event and why Hillary and Obama had to ensure they died to bury the truth.

Well, excellent points. I agree with all. Trump in no pussy . Wallace may get wobbly on this but there is a simple direct question to hillary for Donald. I will posit that question. “ Hillary why did you supply weapons of mass destruction to the Libyan rebels , SA-7 Man Pad anti-aircraft missiles, that can be used on domestic passenger planes— KNOWING that AQIM, an al Qaeda affiliate , was embedded in them and would get the missiles? “ Then the follow up while she stammers into oblivion. “AND did you not send Ambassador Steven and his weapons experts ( EX seals) to their death trying to buy them back on 911 ( of all days!!) — IN BENGHAZI. “ Hillary answer me!! Answer us!!~

And AFAIK the Benghazi survivors never surfaced. Given new names, IIRC. Where are they now?
