How US Ambassador Chris Stevens May Have Been Linked To Jihadist Rebels In Syria
Michael Kelley | 46 minutes ago
US Weapons Are Going To Hard-Line Jihadists Fighting To Topple The Syrian Regime
The details of the September 11 attack that killed four Americans at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi are still murky and there's certainly more to be known.
Former CIA officer Clare Lopez argues that the key issue is "the relationship of the U.S. government, Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya with Al Qaeda."
That relationship, Lopez argues, could be connected to the rise of Islamic brigades in Syria, who recently created a "Front to Liberate Syria" to wage jihad against the Syrian regime and turn the country into an Islamic state.

Same here.
I guess the question that needs to be answered is: Who benefits?
Loved that series.
Stevens was certainly a useful idiot and an islamophile, just like his bosses, Hillary and Bambi. They probably expected Al Qaeda to love them and reward them for their generous support by at least pretending not to be the savages that they are.
The attack on the consulate was clearly planned in advance and they wanted specifically to get Stevens. Was it because he knew too much or maybe was having a sudden attack of conscience (or had even been told by Hillary or Obama to see if he could get the weapons back?).
It had onviously been planned well before his meeting with the Turk, but maybe the Turk gave the go-ahead signal. Or maybe not. Someone else pointed out that there must have been a mole in the operation somewhere.
Also,I think they wanted to get documents and information that was being kept at the consulate.
Thank you, The documents found and posted on this site showed he was meeting with a shipping company, Al Marta Shipping company. They control the ports in Libya. He also met with Arabian Gulf Oil company.
bttt
If the rockets that landed in Turkey from Syrian territory belonged to Assad’s forces (government), then your parenthesis statement that the rockets are “ours, I guess” couldn’t be more wrong. We don’t provide rockets to the Assad regime in Syria. Russia provides weaponry to them.
What you need is to make a distinction between the Assad regime (government side) in Syria and the opposition that is fighting against Assad. And at the same time, remember that the opposition has apparently been hijacked by al qaeda, whatever name they might call themselves.
There are, tragically, thousands of Syrian citizens who have been killed or who have fled Syria and become refugees. Just ordinary people. They hate Assad and they don’t typically cheer for al qaeda either, they just wanted to be left alone to live their lives. But they have been trapped in the situation and their lives have been destroyed.
I wrote on this topic days ago, to answer the claim that we (America) should do nothing...even if Romney wins...just let them over there kill each other off. Let Assad slaughter his own people, let the opposition do their thing without our involvement, etc. My anwer was...and it has become evident by events now...that al qaeda is a huge factor and it wouldn’t be good if the Assad dictatorship continues the slaughter NOR would it be good if al qaeda dominates Syria, right on Israel’s doorstep.
To do NOTHING is bad, just as doing the wrong thing (Obama regime actions) is bad.
Does this help explain why the 2 Navy Seals were in the neighborhood as all this went down?
Or were they just tourist on vacation?
Oops. The frog helps the scorpion cross the stream and then the scorpion stings the frog anyways.
Clearly Stevens was the frog.
The jury is still out on whether Butch and Bambi are frogs or scorpions.
Will there be a transcript Beck reporting this on his site?
Remember, there wasn't supposed to be any security there to put up any resistance.
This is getting really interesting. Sounds like whomever is in charge of the farm set up this newest fast and furious!
Of course this again brings up that old Latin Phrase “Cui bono!”
Or who benefited from this.
Cui bono - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cui_bono - 27k - Cached - Similar pages Cui bono (”To whose benefit?”, literally “as a benefit to whom?”, a double dative construction), also rendered as Cui prodest, is a Latin adage that is used either
'I suspect something shady was going on by the Ambassador. Protocol would have required a detachment of Marines to provide security. I dunno what he was doing, I suspect he was favoring one faction over another instead of being the neutral party. '
this is surprising?
only to people who didn’t read Steven OWN secret cables,
reveal by Wikileaks.
...in it, he seem to clearly support the Islamists,
against Qaddafi. He even admitted, some of them,
had returned from trying to kill Americans,
in Iraq and Afghanistan.
...he cheerfully worked with them, to overthrow Qaddafi.
(who actually had been helping the USA AGAINST the Islamists, until USA planes in NATO started bombing him...)
-
so why should it be a surprise, that Stevens was using his Islamist friends, to help overthrow Assad, in continuation of Obama’s support of the Islamist “Arab Spring” ?
.
That’s true. I think Butch may be a little on the frog side still, but Bambi may be a scorpion dressed as a frog.
