Jennifer Griffen and Katherine Herridge at Fox were all over that one. They were being shipped to Turkey for transshipment to Syria.
What's the deal, guys? Why would Beastie want Chris Stevens dead?
There is at least more than one reason, two of which are really simple. First, to depose Ghadaffi, arms were sent to Ansar al Sharia, an al Qiada affiliate. Al Qaida is a named enemy of the United States by statutory law. Providing aid to an enemy is... So, Stevens was aware of an act of treason on the part of at least Hillary. Second, the motive for said treason to destabilize Ghadaffi in addition to Xero's eschatological Islamic wet dreams was very possibly to make money for her buddy Sid Vicious Blumenthal and his sponsors at British Petroleum. I can't imagine Stevens didn't know, but both are knowing too much.
But may I suggest a couple of other questions?
One, Hillary wasn't off the leash in all this. She was working for the guy who went to bed early that night because he had to fly to .... somewhere .... for a political event. Vegas, I think. Yeah, don't bother me with crises, I gotta speech in the morning.
Two, Hillary wasn't in the DoD chain of command. So who relieved Gen. Ham and told every manjack in the Med basin to "stand down"? It wasn't Leon the Peon, LBJ's and Slick's former water boy, he's never had the stature to make big-league calls like that.
So what was Obozo's angle on this? He wasn't just The Man Behind the Curtain, he was the quarterback on a halfback pass option play. Other people were in motion and in the slot, but he was the guy who called the play in the huddle. </off endless sports analogies>
Obozo was the guy who said "stand down" and "let Chris die, and the MB do what they want with his body".
Last point, I didn't understand something you said. Who was receiving the arms in Syria? We were recovering them, and then transshipping them to an Al-Q'aeda affiliate? OK, then why would the MB/AQIM crowd try to level our facilities and sodomy-murder our ambassador?
Very sharp..!!!
Nice.
