Obama is terrified that the truth of Benghazi might come out.

This cannot just be about a CIA operation gone bad. This has to be about covering for something really damning about Obama. Really bad!

The CIA is in panic mode, or the White House is in panic mode?

It’s my take the CIA was doing Obama’s bidding.

It’s like blaming your ambassador for doing exactly what you asked him to.

This is Obama’s fiasco. It’s Hillary Clinton’s Fiasco.

He was AWOL. She was AWNB.

AWOL = Absent without leave

AWNB = Attending with no brains

“You don’t jeopardize yourself, you jeopardize your family as well.”

Just another day at the office for the Chicago thug-in-chief. Didn't some Austrian guy use the same tactics back in the 1930's? Looks like the current White House occupant studied something well enough to actually put it to use instead of the usual pretending to know what he's talking about.

“Thirty-five Americans on the ground.....”

Could such a large contingent had something to do with one of those conspiracy theories floating around in the aftermath having to do with an “October surprise?”

I recall one had a kidnap/rescue theme. It seemed bizarre then, but the whole Benghazi matter is bizarre.

Here’s a thought:

The house leadership knows what happened. But they are too scared to make it public because they KNOW the conservatives will DEMAND impeachment.

The house leadership does not have enough guts to do their job. That is why the Benghazi scandal is not going anywhere fast.

Thoughts?

The total load of 21,000 MANPADS included mostly SA-7's --old and very vulnerable to such simple countermeasures as flares. BELOW:


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/97/Sa-7.jpg

Also with the SA-7 featured above the target must be silhouetted against bare sky for the seeker to "see" the target. So if I'm a hilltop rebel trying to fire on a helicopter approaching from low in a valley using the SA-7 Grail, then forget it, the missile sees nothing, since there is a mountain behind him.

But After Reagan's air attack against Khadaffi (much later it turned out his daughter was not killed in the raid, as he'd claimed for many years), Khadaffi imported newer Soviet AA missiles, also, like the SA-24 Grinch, below, and THIS is the real problem:


http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j5TUVPrTpqA/Tmh48bS0bOI/AAAAAAAAAXM/T2e2iOPYRrw/s400/SA-24_Grinch_9K338_Igla-S_portable_air_defense_missile_system_Libya_Libyan_army_001.jpg

It flies at Mach 2, reaches up above 10,000 feet, and the aircraft needn't be seen against empty sky for targeting. Also the Grinch needn't score a physical hit for detonation --it also comes equipped with proximity fusing, so if senses an impending bypass, it will still trigger. Also if there is remaining fuel, this, too, will be blown in the explosion as a kicker. Even with jamming and flares, about one in four Grinches will score a hit, generally.

What type of success might it get against commercial aircraft in their current form...? The Obama Admin does NOT want to talk about this at all.

PAULA BROADWELL

"Another thing we're looking into is if the attackers were motiviated by a desire to liberate captives held at the annex..."

How many people think you could have THIS long and large an operation with SO many marginal actors there in Bengazi but have NO need to sometimes hold them...?

No hard proof, but I think the idea that there was no black prison there in Bengazi is very remote.

A real flyer is that over the course of this large-scale op they developed relationships with actors who had run across WMD's smuggled out of pre-invasion Iraq.

That is A GUESS.

I don’t trust CNN. They are making the story for a reason. Yes, it’s important, but it must be a deflection from something more insidious.

If this is the bone they are throwing at us, then it is somehow letting Obama off the hook for something else.

Why did Hillary and Obama use US taxpayer funded personnel, equipment and facilities to overthrow the government of Libya? Why did Hillary and Obama produce and star in a commercial disparaging that phony video when they knew that video had nothing to do with what happened in Benghazi? Where is Qadaffi’s money?

Wonder how long it will be until the next airliner is brought down by a missile?
I’d ask if they press would even report on it, but that would be silly, they are too busy reporting on Zimmerman’s bowel movements.

This is only the latest smokescreen to keep Hillary safe for her decision to put an openly homosexual at a post surrounded by Muslim fundamentalists.

We have only seen the tip of the iceberg where Benghazi is concerned.

This very real scandal will make Watergate look like a Sunday School picnic.
