Where is Fathi al-Obeidi?

As we breeze into the second year of Obama-administration stonewalling on Benghazi, details surrounding the abject abandonment of American citizens under fire in that Libyan outpost remain scarcer than hen's teeth.

The developments in the story have trickled out, effectively distracting from the larger picture. Of the reported 37 Americans trapped inside the consulate and CIA annex buildings in Benghazi, congressional investigators to date have been permitted to speak to nary a one.

The CIA weakly maintains that "CIA employees are always free to speak to Congress if they want," yet sources familiar with CIA internal operations indicate that operatives in the know on Benghazi are being intimidated into silence through an unprecedented schedule of polygraph examinations, in some cases as often as monthly.

Clearly, if we are to understand what really happened in Benghazi, we will have to tap non-CIA/ State Department sources.

Perhaps the best available source is Fathi al-Obeidi, the head of the Libyan Special Forces militia unit tasked by the Libyan government with rescuing U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens along with any other Americans in peril. Al-Obeidi, according to Sky News Arabia, later met the American security forces from Tripoli at the Benghazi airport and transported them to the stranded Americans at the CIA annex, where the "second phase" of the attack occurred.

Benghazi is only the tip of the iceberg. Why did the peace-loving, “Let’s solve this diplomatically at the UN” Democrat party overthrow the government of Libya?

In short, where JFK stood up to the Russians, BHO proffered his rump.

That is a theory I can believe.
