Can we just be frank here for a moment.
What is really going on here?
CNN doesn’t give a flying fig about the U. S. supplying guns to people Obama wants to have them. Anyone that doesn’t understand this should stay in the 14” wading pool.
This is CNN trying to act like the CIA has gone rogue, and that is intended to do two things. It is intended to make us forget Obama was AWOL on 09/11/2012. It is intended to take our eyes off the ball, that Hillary Clinton was the one driving operations that night.
CNN IS NOT doing us any favors here folks. Quite jumping up and down acting like they are.
Obama’s policy is to arm the Syrian rebels. There’s nothing here going to singe him. This isn’t a fruitful fork in the road.

As I posted on another thread, there is more to this than the transfer of out of date obsolete Russian weapons.
Forcing CIA people to take multiple polygraph tests, making them swear not to talk to Congress, moving them out of sight and even giving them false ID’s, lying to Congress, etc., is not something the administration would do over a few old rusty rifles.
My guess is that under the cover of old weapons, they are gun running sophisticated weapons that are classified as secret and that they are sending them to groups that are potential/actual enemies of the US.
All of which is illegal and treasonous.
Why else would there be such dangerous and expensive efforts to hide the facts?
Right now the gun running would be incidental. The important thing is that we've got more potential witnesses to question about the attack, and possibly events leading up to it.
