Purely speculative, but I heard another possible theory on the John Batchelor radio show tonight - that it was an Iranian directed attack in BenGhazi... That they were seeking to disrupt the supply to the rebels in Syria, where they are committed to propping up Assad.
That theory has recently been making the rounds and frankly, it sounds like more propaganda being put out by the regime to throw off the stench of corruption and treason emanating from this administration. It is meant to stop our pondering and connecting dots....to lull us back to sleep. We are to trust that our government is doing everything in our best interests. I saw this excuse making the most rounds on liberal sites in my reading tonight. Of course, they are trying to latch on to any excuse right now to keep from facing the awful truth of their treasonous, lying president.
