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!!

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.

And they would have had time to destroy those kinds of records at the Annex...

Not much time at the mission...but I can't image there would have been that much there.

As I stated earlier, they ran into the mountains of Afghanistan and hid after 911. No way they would not expect a major counter attack for an attack just 2 months before an election. Heck, every President running for reelection wants the perfect October surprise. And this one was handed to Obama on a silver platter. Why did he not take it ?

Sacking of Benghazi consulate “a catastrophic intelligence loss”

That may have been more disinformation from 0coward and co. At this point it's more rational to believe that anything his admin says is a lie if it can't be proved true by independent means. For all we know the most exciting piece of info to be had at either compound was Stevens' credit card #.

Your guess is as good as mine.

No wonder it was so hard to get him to say yes to killing his holy sheikh bin laden.

I pinged you guys to this thread.....first I have heard of it:

New Pentagon timeline reveals military arrived in Libya 14 hours after attack ended

Actually this may be when they arrived in Tripoli.

I am sitting here wondering what sort of intel might be useful...to perhaps identify specific groups in Syria?

1. Written proof of the United States' intention to destabilize a Russian and Iranian client state.
2. Codes
3. The identities of agents working in Syria (so that they can kill or capture them)
4. Learning what is the long term US/CIA plan vis a vis Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc.

I think that alone would be enough.

The good stuff would have been in Tripoli.

Not necessarily.
