Tell Me Again Why the U.S. Used Jihadists to Guard Benghazi
Townhall ^ | 5/10/2013 | Diana West

Uncle Sam's open support for jihad is an epic scandal that is never even acknowledged.

Farenthold [Congressman-Rep-Texas]: "Were you aware of any ties by that militia to Islamic extremists?"

Nordstrom: "Absolutely. Yeah, we had that discussion on a number of occasions, the last of which was when there was a Facebook posting of a threat that named Ambassador Stevens and Sen. (John) McCain, who was coming out for the elections. That was in the July (2012) time frame. I met with some of my agents and also some (CIA) annex personnel and we discussed that."

More news: Nordstrom seems to be saying that the February 17 Martyrs Brigade actually threatened both the U.S. ambassador and a U.S. senator -- and still served as U.S. security guards. This is shocking to read in black and white, although, again, when it becomes clear that Uncle Sam supported the same, exact jihad in Libya that al-Qaida supported, it makes -- if not sense exactly, then certainly a pattern.

Farenthold: "Mr. Hicks, you were in Libya on the night of the attack. Do you believe the February 17 militia played a role in those attacks, was complacent in those attacks?"

Hicks: "Certainly, elements of that militia were complicit in the attacks. The attackers had to make a long approach march through multiple checkpoints that were manned by February 17 militia."

More news: Most media accounts identified al-Qaida-linked Ansar al-Sharia ("Supporters of Sharia") as the militia manning the checkpoints around the compound that horrible night.

This thing has so many avenues - dark alleys actually - to explore. A Special Prosecutor is called for and Boehner needs to get busy. Has the WH released those emails that Boehner called for?

Because they didn't want Marines around to object to the gun running.

Uncle Scam has been in the business of hiring violent Jihadists for at least forty years. First it was against the Russians, then the Serbs, then Lybians, now the Syrians. Why stop now?

Easy question. You can't run a "reach out" program if you don't actually "reach out". What better way is there to "reach out" than to hire the enemy you are fighting to guard your embassy staff.

Plus there is a bonus in doing so. It allows an easy implementation of the plan for "dialogue" with the enemy. As you know, nothing beats "dialogue" when it comes to fighting a war. Particularly if you have no interest in winning that war.

Didn't the money clear into your account?"

They were deemed a kinder, gentler Al Qaeda when we moved against Ghaddafi. We ARMED them. Were we TRAINING them, too? The very same terrorists we fight in AfgPak?

There were even affirmative action incentives for the local guards if they were homosexuals

Why? Sequestration, of course.

Caused by the Bush recession and some other things that were Bush's fault and/or the fault of the TEA party.

What other administration in the history of this country would even contemplate placing the safety of Embassy staff in the hands of a muslim terror group. Only a f***wad like Obama would sign off on crap like that. This is what happens when this country fails to elect someone to the White House who actually has an AMERICAN worldview.
