Frank Gaffney on Benghazigate scandal

http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/categories/C4

Gaffney talks about Benghazi's purpose was to try to secure weapons left over from Gadhafi's stock pile. The US was moving these weapons to arm our enemies.... jihadists & al Qaeda!!

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/oct/22/the-real-reason-behind-benghazigate/

GAFFNEY: The real reason behind Benghazigate Was Obama gun-walking arms to jihadists?

Thanks to intrepid investigative reporting — notably by Bret Baier and Catherine Herridge at Fox News, Aaron Klein at WND.com and Clare Lopez at RadicalIslam.org — and information developed by congressional investigators, the mystery is beginning to unravel with regard to what happened that night and the reason for the subsequent, clumsy official cover-up now known as Benghazigate

The evidence suggests that the Obama administration has not simply been engaging, legitimating, enriching and emboldening Islamists who have taken over or are ascendant in much of the Middle East. Starting in March 2011, when American diplomat J. Christopher Stevens was designated the liaison to the “opposition” in Libya, the Obama administration has been arming them, including jihadists like Abdelhakim Belhadj, leader of the al Qaeda franchise known as the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group.

Fox News has chronicled how the Al Entisar, a Libyan-flagged vessel carrying 400 tons of cargo, docked on Sept. 6 in the Turkish port of Iskenderun. It reportedly supplied both humanitarian assistance and arms — including deadly SA-7 man-portable surface-to-air missiles — apparently destined for Islamists, again including al Qaeda elements, in Syria.

What cries out for further investigation — and debate in the remaining days of this presidential election — is whether this shipment was part of a larger covert Obama effort to transfer weapons to our enemies that could make the Iran-Contra scandal, to say nothing of Operation Fast and Furious, pale by comparison.

I didn't read the article but if you analyze all of 0bama's comments and strange absence of his willingness to say "terrorist attack", "terrorist act" or "war on terror", it's CLEAR that he is going out of his way to PROTECT the terrorist organizations, including AL QAEDA.

WHY? Because he was either colluding with them to stage a kidnapping of Stevens OR he was colluding with them by funneling heavy weapons for their battle to hijack the revolution in Syria. 0bama should be immediately arrested and brought before Congress for prosecution for treason. There are MANY counts against 0bama, to include abandoning troops in distress (Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Ty Woods). 0bama's every movement must be investigated on that day/night and the following morning.. Who did he call, consult with, what time he went to bed, etc..

Nully explains Benghazi:

IMHO, the attack was pre-arranged as a hostage taking kidnapping; if not originated in the Oval Office, at the very least accepted and blessed there.

What the White House naïvely bought into IN ADVANCE was a scheme to allow Amb. Stevens to be kidnapped and held for ransom.

Obama and Valerie Jarret desperately wanted to show Obama as the Master Negotiator, a mensch capable of doing what even the Great Jimmy Carter couldn’t: successfully redeem hostages from muslims, and just in time for the election.

As an added bonus, it would provide the all the cover needed to release the Blind Sheik and all the “political” prisoners from Gitmo.

I believe Bronco and Val were astonished when the scorpion stung them in mid-river.

That they were so (dare I say it?) UNEXPECTEDLY betrayed caught them so utterly flat-footed that they still haven’t come up with a good cover story!

Just one old, tired and cynical guy’s opinion, of course.

Prove me wrong. Cite one demonstrable fact that says they didn’t commit conspiracy to commit kidnapping at the least, murder and treason, both capital crimes, at the worst, if you can...

There will be enormous pressure on the Romney admin to “be big abuot it” and to “learn to reach across the aisle” by not pursuing any of this. Hey, people need to go to JAIL —this is huge and involved life and death.

The strong Republican temptation will be to “get them to LIKE us” by letting all of this go.

This is amazing. With actions of our leaders such as these, then we are in big trouble. Where are our friends?

God help America. Forgive America our offenses and lead us in the way eternal with Thee LORD, in Jesus name, amen.

First, Obama/Hillary send thugs to whack Gaddafy so they can loot his billions, then when Obama sees he is toast in the upcoming election , he sees the urgency to whack Ambassador Stevens to cover up the trail of gunrunning to Arab Sprong

The thing about Dictators is that they get to say who can do business in their country. They also want a lot of bribe money for themselves and to give to their generals to keep the military from tossing them out. Now a businessman, a real businessman, always looks to get his best Return On Investment (ROI). He only has so much money to invest, so he wants to put it where he’ll get the best return (the most money back). Now, say you’re George Soros. Those dictators in Libya and Egypt and Syria are sitting on some countries that could be developed and bring you some real profits. The only problem is, they don’t like you or they want too big of a cut. So you think “how can I get rid of those dictators so I can go into their countries and make some real loot? Which country has the resources to go in and get rid of those dictators? Hmmmmmm....the United States! How can I get the US to go and overthrow the governments of Libya and Egypt and Syria? I guess I’ll have to buy me a President. I can get my best ROI there. Now, those Chicago Democrats appear to be easily bought. I’ll buy a Chigago Democrat! They’ll use American taxpayer money, personnel, equipment and facilities to overthrow these dictators. I won’t have to spend a dime! I’ll talk about what a peacenik I am all the while I’m making profits from my buddy Obama. It’s the sweetest deal ever!”
And now you know why Benghazi is being covered up. It’s part of the sweetest Democrat deal ever. People, innocent people, are getting killed so Obama and his buddies can make some bucks.

Stevens was left alive at the site. The alleged kidnappers just left him there. He was found alive by the looters and died at the hospital.

We need to be careful of swallowing false bait conspiracies leaked just to make our side look bad. The left always takes the false bait (911 inside job).

The primary benefactor from the attack is Syria/Iran. They have motive. Al Qeada was getting arms from Libya. Why rock that boat ?

I share your concerns.

99% of the public for example, don’t realize that when Clinton left office, he was disbarred, and fined for perjury in his testimony in the Jones case.

Queit, hush hush, move along...

That ain’t justice...

Stevens was an Obama/Hillary love child, just another victim of late term abortion

Christopher Stevens was designated the liaison to the “opposition” in Libya, the Obama administration has been arming them, including jihadists like Abdelhakim Belhadj, leader of the al Qaeda franchise known as the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group.

The U.S. provided military support with full knowledge that Al Qaeda was part of the Libyan opposition.

As the United States transfers control of the Libyan operation to NATO, officials say the American military will continue to be a part of the effort.

Since the operation began more than a week ago, the United States' "unique capabilities" have been referred to time and time again by U.S. officials, from the president to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. But what exactly does that mean? The U.S. has military tools that other coalition and NATO countries do not, or do not have as much of, including surveillance and communication jamming capabilities that are major keys to any successful operation or war.

http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/africa/03/28/libya.us.military.capabilities/index.html

“It’s almost a certitude that at least part” of the Libyan opposition includes members of al-Qaeda, said Bruce Riedel, a former senior CIA analyst and adviser to President Obama. Riedel said that anti-Gaddafi elements in the rebel stronghold of Benghazi have had “very close associations with al-Qaeda” dating back years.

It is by no means certain that Amb. Stevens was alive for that bit of theater of rescuers transporting him to the hospital.

We need to be careful of swallowing false bait conspiracies leaked just to make our side look bad.

Agreed.

I know for a fact that this isn't something leaked from the left.

It's mine. All mine. Clearly labeled as such, with no claim to inside information or accuracy.
