This hostage theory has been here on FR almost since day 1.
How did that theory come about or what is the logic behind it? I’m trying to understand...
As I understand it, the muslim brotherhood in Egypt wanted the freedom of the blind sheik who is in prison in NYC for the first WTC bombing. So they came up with this plan which included the video, (that would have been blamed on ‘the Jews’,) to start riots to cover for the kidnapping of Stevens in Libya. THEN obama could ‘negotiate’ freedom for the sheik in return for Stevens and appear to be a hero all before election day. However, the SEALs defied orders to stand down, interfered with this plan, and they all died.
That’s the short version. It is really much more complicated than that.
