Grab a cup of coffee because it’s a long read with over 350 citations and reference source links for confirmational material. We think you’ll get hooked and find 95% of your Benghazi questions answered. And if you can find a factual flaw I’ll buy the coffee.. SD
The CIA and Intelligence community had stated earlier the biggest concern anyone held about arming the Libyan Rebels was the possibility those weapons might leave the Libyan conflict and travel to other locations where they would be used against our own soldiers. More and more evidence of this happening was growing.
In 2011 a total of four air assets were destroyed by enemy fire in Afghanistan. Two of those helicopters happened at the same time in August 2011 when we lost the Navy Seal unit that killed Osama Bin Laden. 22 Americans killed.
We had been in close quarter full combat operations in Afghanistan for 10 years, and we never had a problem with close air support. We had never faced the concern of our enemy having MANPADS. 2002 through 2010 saw zero occurrences of SAMS, Stingers, or MANPADS in general.
Within months after delivering weapons to the Benghazi and Darnah rebels (May, June and July 2011) we began facing MANPADS in Afghanistan.
Four instances in late in 2011 including the 22 lives lost in what came to be known as Operation “Extortion 17″.
In 2012 it got worse, much worse: June 1st AFGHANISTAN:
A combined patrol discovered a weapons cache containing three shoulder-fired, surface-to-air missiles, three anti-tank mines, 423 RPGs, 118,600 7.62 mm rounds, 30 rifles and other ordnance in the Tarin Kot district of Uruzgan province. The cache’s contents were destroyed. (link)

What I find most disturbing is that the Manpads found their way to Afghanistan and were used to kill scores of American military personnel. The fact that they have confirmation of this thru serial numbers is quite a revelation.
Good question. There appears that a number of people had motives to kill him so that the the US policy to arm the Syrian rebels would be stopped. The Turks certainly were opposed to this policy and so would Assad and his Iranian supporters. And we stopped arming the Libyan rebels and were confiscating some of their weapons.
We can only imagine the conversation within the Benghazi compound as both Ali Sait Akin and Chris Stevens parted ways for the final time on September 11th 2012.
Outside the compound walls, the 17th Feb Brigade – Ansar Al Sharia – were also assembled to deliver their final goodbyes.
The Turkish delegation was able to navigate the roadblocks without issue. And within 30 minutes of Consul Akin leaving the venue, Ansar Al Sharia executed their attack.
“Why did Hillary and Obama work to overthrow the government of Libya?”
The Traitor Pres__ent’s agenda throughout has been consistent: put Al Quaida/Muslim Brotherhood/ISIL/what have you into power.
Arab Spring? Yes, if you admit to being one of those Mooslimbs who advocate jihad.
By his actions, CrapBama has shown himself to be not only a sack of leper butts, but a jihadist.
BTTT when I have time to read it.
I never connected the helocopter losses in Afghan to Libya.
That would be the Libyan war where Obama had violated the War Powers Act
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Was it because Qadaffi’s plan to sell oil for gold instead of US dollars would be a threat to the dollar as the world’s reserve currency and endanger the petrodollar?
The article is wrong in one particular statement, that now laws were broken.
Nonsense:
18 U.S. Code § 2339B - Providing material support or resources to designated foreign terrorist organizations
and/or;
10 U.S. Code § 904 - Art. 104. Aiding the enemy
and/or;
18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason
.
* that no laws were broken.
.
I don’t think so. I think that Soros, Hillary and Obama place their personal finances ahead of the nation’s finances.
Don't know just throwing it out there.
Qadaffi did give up his WMD to us after saddam fell, was fighting AQ in Libya and was supposedly giving us intelligence so there had to be an underlying reason.
We no longer need to put up with this kind of trash waiting for the off-chance that congress might make some feeble gesture in the face of evil, tyranny, corruption, and utter madness.
Let’s amend the Constitution and empower STATES to impeach, taint, and remove executive officials AND rogue justices.
Please consider the Common Sense Counterrevolution:

Benghazi ping.
Let Republicanprofessor know if you want on or off this ping list.
Items such as this remind me we cannot trust government on important issues, let alone the small things. It’s a sad state of affairs when Americans cannot trust our own government or the information it disseminates to the public.
Tonight FAUX news is lying more to the American People!!!

That ALL started with the Cairo speech creating the Arab Spring setting the Middle East on fire spurred by chaos there and North Africa!!!
If Trey Gowdy has enough cojones and allowed free hands, he could finish off Killary, Obola and the DNC-asses’ party for GOOD???
Mubarak???
The problem is that he will have to take down the Congressional leadership—GOP and Dem—who were part of this stupid decision.
Now that the election is over, maybe we'll finally get our report confirming the desertion?
..but then maybe not?
Wouldn’t doubt it.
