Report: Ambassador Stevens Said He Was on an Al-Qaeda Hit List
Yahoo ^ | Sept. 20, 2012

Posted on 09/20/2012 4:20:09 AM PDT by nuconvert

American intelligence officials insist that the attack on the Benghazi consulate was not pre-planned, but a new CNN report says that Ambassador Chris Stevens had expressed concerns about the safety of the mission in the months before his death.

According to "a source familiar with his thinking," Stevens was worried about the growing threat of al-Qaeda and other extremists in Libya and even mentioned that he was on a terrorist "hit list."

“mentioned that he was on a terrorist “hit list.””

Of course he was. He fought against them. Everyone had to know that he was target.

So in light of this, what would we call the Hillary led DoS planning as per the lack of protection?

It would seem this diplomatic post needed more direct-armed protection than most, not less.

I’d say so! Let’s see what Hillary has to say - I’m sure she was ‘concerned’

I am sure Hillry’s “friend Huma Abedin” advised her that the Muslims were nothing to fear. Her close ties to them made her an excellent advisor.

Not to mention the two graduates of seal team six that were deep sixed in the raid. One cannot help but associate the bin laden raid by a US military unit, and the two deaths supposedly incidental to that of the Ambassador, and a certain idiot of a vice president officially naming the very unit responsible for the previous bin laden raid.

It sure is difficult to process the seeming oddities.

There is a word that fits the situation, and as hard as I try to remember the word it isn’t coming. Oddities isn’t it, but still fits a bit.

Of course not having loaded weapons would force Al Queda to love them. Should be brought up on manslaughter charges.

Pray for America

I read a lot of the comments and did not find a single one favorable to Obama and this is Yahoo. This may be the straw that breaks Obama’s back. Pray that is the case.

Who should be charged with manslaughter? I'd say that you can charge Hillary and Obama with manslaughter after they are tried for treason.

Can you be very 'concerned' when drunk and dirty dancing with women in Colombia, I think it was?

Might as well have had a "Gun Free Zone" sign posted prominently outside.
