If you have something to say, throw your punch and land it in the first sentence:
“Why did the State Department hire Islamists for American Consular defense?
That’s what the State Department did when they hired the “February 17 Martyrs Brigade.” What legitimate security contractor anywhere else in the world has “Martyrs” in it’s title? None. “Martyrs” tells you all you need to know: These are Muslim Extremists bent on Martyrdom for their religion.”
Good question - Lamb said it’s something they did before and it worked - while later they said each country is unique - which is it one might wonder. I listened intently to the hearing for the name, it was mentioned a couple of times as Feb17 - fine, but is was later mentioned as the Feb 17 Brigade - not fine. They obviously knew by mentioning the full title would be problematic so they ommitted it. They can’t even say the name “Martyr” at the hearing yet could hire them to guard our personnel. That’s a problem.
Feb 17th and al Sharia work together, from what one can gather, they weren’t skilled enough to plan and execute such a sophisicated attack since they just formed last year but they were the spies and perhaps the shooters in the aftermath. There’s speculation that it’s a north African al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb...in saying it’s al-Qaeda links all of them together and doesn’t tell us anything per se. They each have their own specific names, and their own specific government Party which means they have their own leader, and that’s the people that need to be tracked (it’s probably already known who they are by their mosque). Most of these groups are either Salafists/Wahabbis now or currently growing their beards. They’re growing in huge numbers. Germany’ intel in 2010 said they had 5-6,000 Salafists in their country.
Who was expert enough to pull off the attack...most say it had to be military. It was either the aforementioned al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb or perhaps some of the Green Military Brigade officers who defected. An opportunity to get back for the way Ghaddafi’ died and/or stay aligned with the hardcore al-Qaeda/Salafists.
