At this point I do not think there is any other politician more treacherous than Obama, that would by necessity include his teleprompter programmers that write his material. The Clintons are not even a half step behind Obama on the treachery scale.
Sounds like the Cold War all over again, except this time we armed the wrong guys.
” American officials and retired C.I.A. officials said the administration was also weighing additional assistance to rebels, like providing satellite imagery and other detailed intelligence on Syrian troop locations and movements. The administration is also considering whether to help the opposition set up a rudimentary intelligence service. But no decisions have been made on those measures or even more aggressive steps, like sending C.I.A. officers into Syria itself, they said.
The struggle inside Syria has the potential to intensify significantly in coming months as powerful new weapons are flowing to both the Syrian government and opposition fighters. President Obama and his top aides are seeking to pressure Russia to curb arms shipments like attack helicopters to Syria, its main ally in the Middle East. “
the last person who met with Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi was the Turkish ambassador?
very plausible
In addition to the possibility that when the SHTF no one in the WH was willing to call-in US forces on Barack Hussein and Hilary Clintons back-channel “allies”, blow the operation, and no NATO forces or NATO bases from which we operate were “in” on backing up a covert WH/CIA operation to bypass US Congressional oversight (and Russian objections) on arming Syrian jihadists with US and captured Libyan weapons
Wow my guesses are getting better all the time! Seems Stevens may have become a huge liablity to the regime,ya never know.
That means that Ambassador Stevens had only one personBelhadjbetween himself and the Benghazi man who brought heavy weapons to Syria. Furthermore, we know that jihadists are the best fighters in the Syrian opposition, but where did they come from? Last week The Telegraph reported that a FSA commander called them "Libyans" when he explained that the FSA doesn't "want these extremist people here." And if the new Libyan government was sending seasoned Islamic fighters and 400 tons of heavy weapons to Syria through a port in southern Turkeya deal brokered by Stevens' primary Libyan contact during the Libyan revolutionthen the governments of Turkey and the U.S. surely knew about it. Furthermore there was a CIA post in Benghazi, located 1.2 miles from the U.S. consulate, used as "a base for, among other things, collecting information on the proliferation of weaponry looted from Libyan government arsenals, including surface-to-air missiles" ... and that its security features "were more advanced than those at rented villa where Stevens died." And we know that the CIA has been funneling weapons to the rebels in southern Turkey. The question is whether the CIA has been involved in handing out the heavy weapons from Libya. In any case, the connection between Benghazi and the rise of jihadists in Syria is stronger than has been officially acknowledged.
