What if:
Amb. Stevens was set up to be kidnapped? The election was coming and this administration was viewed as weak on foreign policy. Send Stephens to a little town, with no protection. Tell the bad guys, that you are dealing with, where he is. They rough up Stephens a bit, he is gay, after all. Bam barks a bit, ‘You let him go or I will find you!’ He is released, as agreed. Bad guys get their arms shipment. Prez looks tough. Hillary looks good. Piece of cake.
Except... Two ex-seals answered the call of duty and screwed EVERYTHING up. Rescue attempts were not permitted for 7 hours and the bad guys couldn't get past two seals. Finally, they got in but in anger, killed everyone.
Then the damage control wizards came up with the video crap.
What if.....

If that could be proven it would be a criminal conspiracy from start to finish. Anyone involved would be an accomplice to some degree.

From the outset I was convinced the CIA was running a weapons deal with al Qaeda or the moose slime brotherhood and the moose slime brotherhood or al qaeda got wind of helping the others and put a stop to it and took the weapons. I do not doubt that hatellary clintoon knew what was going down but did not expect a second terrorist group to step in. The lie about the video was to stop anyone from looking into who actually took what was intended for a different terrorist group.

Or, what if he was set up to be kidnapped so he could be exchanged for the blind sheik.
