Exactly. You're one of the only people around who I've seen who is thinking about the sophistication of the attack, and what that means.
Think about the fact that they used MORTARS (indirect fire) effectively, and ANTI-AIRCRAFT weapons. That's amazing. Where did they get such heavy equipment? How did they learn to use it? I understand from some early reports that the indirect mortar fire was amazingly accurate, landing on our personnel as they retreated to supposedly secret safe houses. That means great intelligence, spotters for the mortar teams, radio comms, training, etc.
This was an incredibly sophisticated attack, and we've got nobody anywhere in public investigating that.
I want to know one thing that I believe will be the thread that unravels the whole thing:
Were the weapons American or Russian?
I'll bet they are American weapons, which means 0bama supplied them either to Islamonazis to defeat Ghaddaffi, or Morsi in Egypt sent in the teams. Either way, that fact would blow this Administration to smithereens.
“Were the weapons American or Russian?
I’ll bet they are American weapons, which means 0bama supplied them either to Islamonazis to defeat Ghaddaffi, or Morsi in Egypt sent in the teams. Either way, that fact would blow this Administration to smithereens.”
We’re thinking along the same lines. I believe many of the weapons were ours which is why the Seals were sent in along with 35 w/men, most likely CIA, to get them. I think Stephenson, who knew most of the Brigades (probably helped arm them), was also told to find them, he was to meet with the Febuary 17th MARTYRS Brigade on 9/11 but the meeting was cancelled.
Did the movie and the UN Resolution 16/18 curtailing our speech rights have anything to do with it...who knows. If one says, yes, then the attack wouldn’t have helped the MB/UN/H/O cause as that idea was quickly nooked after the attack (not unlike the fast/furious weapons on our second amendment rights). If one says, no, then whose left but the Ghaddafi Green Military. If that got out then the whole April Spring deal would become known as a total disaster. I think this might be what they’re hiding. The deputy of interior affairs of the national transitional council, ?al Sharif or ?al Sharaf, was very involved, he accused Ghaddafi’ greenies at the time - realtime. He was since fired, think on Sept 17th for his handling of the attack. Don’t know if he was trying to save his own skin or being truthful in the moment. If he was with the “in” crowd one would think they’d have kept him on therefore more likely he was being truthful.
Note: Many of Ghaddafi officers were hired by the National Transitional Council to help keep order in the choatic aftermath. They worked daily with all the brigades which would include Al-Sharia, the Febuary 17th Martyrs Brigade, and other Salafist brigades.
Aren’t we arming al-Qaeda and other rebels in Syria at the moment? The state department, per the hearing, stated they use successful strategies again, they deemed Libya a success therefore one might surmise they armed al-Qaeda and their affiliates in Egypt.

WASHINGTON — J. Christopher Stevens arrived in Benghazi, Libya, in April 2011 aboard a Greek cargo ship carrying a dozen American diplomats and guards and enough vehicles and equipment to set up a diplomatic beachhead in the middle of an armed rebellion.
