My theory: 30,000 Stinger missiles swapped for release of sheik and other concessions. Worked out with previous occupant released from Gitmo. Ambassador was to be kidnapped and ransomed for sheik without public knowledge of the SAMs. Raid failed, some reports ambassador died of smoke inhalation, so body was photographed as if it was carried off by a spontaneous crowd. Hide the evidence and blame the film which was funneled into Egypt by the CIA/State department as a deflection for unrest in the region. Hence the repeated statements by HRC and others without provocation that the US Government had nothing to do with the video. It's just my tin foil hat theory....
You have some good points. They might not be connected the right way or it may be exactly what happened.
Here is what I think:
This is a CIA FUBAR.
It involves those missing weapons.
It involves the Blind Sheik.
Perhaps to prevent a terrorist attack with the missing weapons -they made a deal with the devil they armed.
It went awry.
Their cover story blew up. Maybe because it is an election year. I don’t know.
In the past, the CIA involved Hollywood- The White Crooner and his brother -to make a porn tape in their efforts to overthrow a dictator.
It’s possible they were behind the infamous current tape.
