Ex-Diplomats Report New Benghazi Whistleblowers with Info Devastating to Clinton and Obama

More whistleblowers will emerge shortly in the escalating Benghazi scandal, according to two former U.S. diplomats who spoke with PJ Media Monday afternoon.

These whistleblowers, colleagues of the former diplomats, are currently securing legal counsel because they work in areas not fully protected by the Whistleblower law.

According to the diplomats, what these whistleblowers will say will be at least as explosive as what we have already learned about the scandal, including details about what really transpired in Benghazi that are potentially devastating to both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Stevens’ mission in Benghazi, they will say, was to buy back Stinger missiles from al-Qaeda groups issued to them by the State Department, not by the CIA. Such a mission would usually be a CIA effort, but the intelligence agency had opposed the idea because of the high risk involved in arming “insurgents” with powerful weapons that endanger civilian aircraft.

Hillary Clinton still wanted to proceed because, in part, as one of the diplomats said, she wanted “to overthrow Gaddafi on the cheap.”

This left Stevens in the position of having to clean up the scandalous enterprise when it became clear that the “insurgents” actually were al-Qaeda – indeed, in the view of one of the diplomats, the same group that attacked the consulate and ended up killing Stevens.

snip... likened it to the Mike Nichols film Charlie Wilson’s War about a clueless congressman who supplies Stingers to the Afghan guerrillas. “It’s as if Hillary and the others just watched that movie and said ‘Hey, let’s do that!’” the diplomat said.

He added that he and his colleagues think the leaking of General David Petraeus’ affair with his biographer Paula Broadwell was timed to silence the former CIA chief on these matters.

Obama does not want the low information voter to learn that his Libya policy led to Al Qeada getting their hands on MANPADs. It was important to get boots on the ground (leading from the front, if you will) to secure the weapons (and who knows what else). Obama refused.

I don’t know but there is something wrong with this guy, he has never been in charge, perhaps the put him back in his pod at night.

Maybe they wind him up.
The only thing he does is campaign and push liberal causes. yeah who really pulls his strings?

[penelopesire]

Valerie Jarrett, the Muslim Brotherhood and the far left, commie puppeteers like Soros.

Also, watch out for ‘government plants’ which end up disappointing those seeking justice in this travesty.

All of the AFRICOM commanders have retired early, the first two with accusations which could lead to court martial ( felonious) offenses. Gen Ham had no overt accusations but tons of rumor of a unlawful act(s). Something seriously rotten in that part of the world. Since Theatre Commanders (e.g. These AFRICOM Commanders) have unrestricted and sometimes independent access to intelligence and intelligence gathering systems/methods, I suspect all found something they were not supposed to find and objected to it.

Conspiracy tinfoil hat laughter aside, the above seems the most logical accusation. What has occurred in this theatre during the tenure of these three? Why the genesis of the Arab Spring, aka, the birth of a new Islamic caliphate.

Will never make the news.

The average citizen will never hear of this, and if it IS on the news, they’ll flip the channel.

It really doesn’t matter.

Religion used to be the opiate of the masses. Now, it’s electronic devices.

[RedHeeler]

The CIA has never been confused, livius.

[RedHeeler]

You cheer for Putin?

[livius]

Maybe “anger” would be a better word...

[RedHeeler]

Okay.

According to the Huntington Post she was a Director of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago from January 2006 through April 2007. It’s fairly obvious that Jarret is Barry’s main handler and is the one making all the day to day decisions in the White House.

"The part about Africom having assets in place to act quickly is likely in my opinion and the failure to act remains the most surprising part of the Benghazi story to me. My best guess is that someone in the White House decided based on known facts at the time that the political risks of a failed rescue operation outweighed the rewards of rescuing our people. They likely thought nobody had been killed and if we rescued folks the real story would come out that they were paying massive amounts of cash to the rebels we supported to buy the anti-aircraft stuff."

Interesting analysis. The one point of debate is about the intel on causalities.

Once the mortars started hitting, it was clear that the attackers were skilled and would cause death. Also, the Libyans would not commit assets, so our people were not only left to fend for themselves, but the admin also ordered special ops assets in Tripoli to stand down and not help with extracting our personnel from Benghazi. There was plenty of intel that our people could be wiped out without help. It's due to a few heroic individuals that any of our people survived.

Give Ohaha a break----jeepers, you conservatives are so unreasonable.

People still ask why Ohaha did not know what actually happened in Benghazi---and why Susan Rice obediently told the cockamamie tale about a video.

The truth is that Ohaha was getting blitzed on his Teeter Hang-up---(he thinks its a sex toy).

So when Benghazi broke on TV, Ohaha thought he was viewing a porno Godzilla movie.

Hey---it could happen---if you're hanging upside down---in the processs of getting blitzed.
