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 >

Jezebel Killary is never going to sing or she will drag the W.H. down with her, and she knows it. But she is not stupid the “worlds smartest woman” making 100 grand from $1000 on cattle futures and still “broke”!!!
The real question IS: “What was 3 dozen+ CIA operatives doing in Benghazi and General Carter Ham NOT knowing that???
It is said that the shipment from Benghazi via Turkish port. So what was the Turkish “diplomat” talking with Stevens on the night HE was killed???
Here’s another cover-up, claimed Jezebel Killary whent on a secret mission to Iran that started the whole todays “deal” that johnSkerry took over !!!
I'll tell you what the schmuck will do....He'll bring as many of his fellow mussies into our country that he possibly can....trying his best to destroy the America we know and bringing about world domination by islam......
But....that's just my humble opinion....

Iran-Contra now looks like a parking ticket compared to the Benghazi DWI/reckless driving/using-a-vehicle-as-a-weapon event.
You’re probably right, though I sort of should have said what would he do differently if he thought the GOP would win, instead of the Rat.
Could our own weapons have been used on our navy Seals that died in Afghanistan? (For example, the missing Stingers from so long ago?)
I do realize that the Chinook was shot down in August 2011, and the Benghazi event took place only in September 2012.
