Exclusive: New Emails on Secret Benghazi Weapons
Fox News ^ | 2015 September 11 | Catherine Herridge, Pamela Browne

Posted on 09/13/2015 12:06:35 AM PDT by CutePuppy

On the third anniversary of the Benghazi terrorist attack, emails reviewed by Fox News raise significant questions about US government support for the secret shipment of weapons to the Libyan opposition.

During the Spring of 2011, as the Obama administration ramped up efforts to topple the Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, a licensed American arms dealer, Marc Turi, his business partner formerly with the CIA, senior US military officials in Europe and Africa as well as a former staffer for republican Senator John McCain considered logistics for arming the rebels, according to the emails exclusively obtained by Fox Business and Fox News.

Turi is facing federal trial this December on two counts that he allegedly violated the arms export control act by making false statements. Turi denies the charges, and alleges there was a rogue weapons operation run with the knowledge of Mrs. Clinton's state department.

The email dated March 22, 2011 was sent by Admiral James Stavridis, when he was the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, from his government email account to Turi's business partner David Manners.

The email was also copied to General Carter Ham, then head of the defense department's Africa command. Stavridis vouches for Manners as a United States Naval Academy classmate and "former CIA Officer with deep connections throughout the near Middle East."

Also copied on the email is Mike Kostiw who worked for Senator John McCain until February 2011 on the Senate Armed Services committee. It is not known from the emails reviewed by Fox whether the parties responded, or whether others were brought into the discussion.

Stavridis tells Manners "The person in charge of the operation from a US DoD perspective is General Carter Ham, the commander of AFRICOM... Clearly, what you are describing is a State Department lead." ..... < snip >

I still believe that when the veil is parted, we will find out that Obama armed and covertly supported ISIS to overthrow Syria.

designed to keep Hillary the Unwiped off balance(?)

I don't think so. It is designed to lessen the negative effect and shock value to Hillary. Because being released one at a time with each one reduces the cumulative effect if several were released at the same time. This way , when number two is released, number one is old news and forgotten. Same with three, four, five......

But Hillary is not worried nor concerned. This type stuff has been happening all through her political life. She is still here. Quite a few are not though, Vince Foster, Jim McDougal, their White House chef, Ambassador Stevens, to name a few. Our Alamo Girl has a excellent record of the Clinton body count if you are interested.

On that we agree. It was part of the “Arab Spring Uprising”.

And, since he’s the smartest man in the world next to
Hillary! He did it knowing there would be a tremendous
migration of Muslims to Europe as a result.

Made It Happen On Purpose.

I am fully convinced that Obama/Hillery set up the embassy, that it was attacked by order of the WH, that the stand down order was violated by the CIA which made the whole get messier than it would have been.

I am not a conspiracy guy, I believe 911 2001 was carried out by 19 Islamic terrorists who trained in Afghanistan, but there are too many things that don’t make sense about 911 2011.

“You outsource it and that’s what they did.”

They also outsourced security on the compound to Libyans. Is it because they wanted every trace of this (every “speed bump”) cleaned up.

Is there any question? All these years that terrorists wanted to rebuild the caliphate and it’s happening now?

Gen. Ham was arrested and relieved of Duty by his XO on Sept 11th, 2012.

He was sending a rescue team against a direct order from the POTUS.

Hasn’t the administration been ‘leaking’ the weapons story since the time of the ‘movie trailer’ story? Buncha bunk.

Just do a search on Gen Carter Ham.

There was a Fleet Admiral relieved the same day for the same reason.

The big secret of Benghazi was that we were arming Al Qeida and jihadis all over the middle east with Gulf State money.
First Libya, then Syria.
And they got caught. Steven was a weapons smuggler for ISIS and was right in the middle of it.

President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorizing covert U.S. government support for rebel forces seeking to oust Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.

If it is provable that it was known to the President that he knew those "rebels" were Al Quaida affiliates, this is physical proof of statutory treason, without need for any witnesses.

.....and so we have the story of the origin of ISIL.
All armed by the Obama administration and John McCretin.
Now they are pissed because Putin is crapping on ISIL to protect Assad.
Obama never had any intentions of actually “bombing ISIL” and it’s all been a ruse.
