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?
The way I see it, yes and no. To Commander Xero's knowledge, what she was doing that he could see to please the Muslim Brotherhood was all skittles and rainbows. I don't know if he would have seen much less cared about her side deal with Sid Vicious and BP. Once TSHTF, his involvement was limited to doing anything to get reelected. Hence "the video," versions I and II.

On that we completely agree. But I'm not so interested in what happened during and after the attack as I am in what precipitated it. On where the stand-down orders came from, I have no freaking idea. Is it really important compared to providing weapons to al Qaida? True, four of our guys died, but tens of thousands of Syrians, Yazidis, and Copts have been killed for this end-times fantasy of his.

I've always seen Obama as an expensive bag-man vascillating between jihadi wet dreams and a revolution of the proletariat, anything as long as whitey takes it twixed the sheets. Sometimes I wonder if he gets his marching orders from his caddy.
If that creep has an angle, my take is that he either wants to propitiate a Sunni Shia war to bring in the twelfth imam to unify the Muslim world and conquer the rest, or he's out to destroy white Western civilization to empower the downtrodden of the third whirled. He's certainly helping to implant a jihadi army in the midst of the infidel, but then between the drug gangs and released prisoners here, he's doing just ducky on that prole food thingy.

Stevens was the gate valve on the information pipeline to arm the meltdown in Syria, perhaps to get their hands on Saddam's biological and chemical weapons? What I don't know is if his globo corporate communist handlers rigged it for the benefit of the Russians. I see these things as feeding frenzies of confluencing interests rather than coordinated actions.
Last point, I didn't understand something you said. Who was receiving the arms in Syria?
Supposedly Syrian rebels against Assad now fighting ISIS to boot.
We were recovering them, and then transshipping them to an Al-Q'aeda affiliate?
No, we armed the AQ affiliate to take down Ghadaffi, but they were but one of several groups. I don't know which group got his weapons. My understanding is that Stevens was buying them back and shipping them out because we were done with them.
OK, then why would the MB/AQIM crowd try to level our facilities and sodomy-murder our ambassador?
Don't know. To get them back?
My concern about these ManPADS is that they might smuggle them here to sit outside airports. We have a new air traffic control system, NextGen, which directs airlines to come into major airports in single file, low and slow like ducks in a row. A couple of terrorists with shoulder fired SAMs could have a field day. Maybe that's what AQ wanted and Stevens was foiling them. Don't know.
