How US Ambassador Chris Stevens May Have Been Linked To Jihadist Rebels In Syria

Michael Kelley | 46 minutes ago

US Weapons Are Going To Hard-Line Jihadists Fighting To Topple The Syrian Regime

The details of the September 11 attack that killed four Americans at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi are still murky and there's certainly more to be known.

Former CIA officer Clare Lopez argues that the key issue is "the relationship of the U.S. government, Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya with Al Qaeda."

That relationship, Lopez argues, could be connected to the rise of Islamic brigades in Syria, who recently created a "Front to Liberate Syria" to wage jihad against the Syrian regime and turn the country into an Islamic state.

OK, so WHERE are the arms the shipping company was to get to ship to Syria? Did they make it there?

Better question: was Stevens supposed to be killed all along by pals of obamao, hillary and huma abedin (ie. the muslim brotherhood— the benign islamofascist revolutionaries).

This is very much like a leftwing contra supply net, run terribly poorly and which killed our ambassador. We need to stay on this, for it WILL get buried otherwise.

Keep in mind that both Romney and Ryan, about a week after this event broke (you’ll recall the admin trashing Romney for commenting without knowing anything— that was their first block)— they began receiving full national security briefs (requiring top secret clearance).

So Romney and Ryan know the same intel (presumably if it hasn’t been washed) as Biden (or what he remembers of it). They went to the “video” explanation as a fabrication first, which was thereafter clearly known by Romney/Ryan to be false. Given this info now, Romney should be able to mop the floor with the lies— make the public see how either incompetent or even worse- how compromised (can you say “agent of the muslim brotherhood”?-obama and hillary/huma abedin).

Congresswoman Bachmann was onto this brotherhood connection and they slammed her down. Hope she wins her re- election.

Stevens converted to Islam, despite being openly gay and in favor of gay rights in Muslim countries. His embassy even encouraged gay relationships in its recruitment ads for security personnel! He was also heavily in favor of gay "marriage," and actively sought to promote its acceptance.

Too bad for this deranged ideologue that one of Islam's greatest hypocrisies is the fact that Muslim men commonly engage in homosexual activity, but do not think of themselves as homosexuals. Indeed, they are publicly and violently opposed to it. In Islamic countries sexual abuse of young boys is endemic. However, as it is considered acceptable, no stigma attaches to it. Ask any troop coming back from Afghanistan.

Stevens was the wrong man for the job, the wrong man to be posted to any Islamic country, and is indeed a martyr ... to his own left wing homosexual agenda.

I was watching something last night that included an interview with someone who seemed to know Stevens well. (May have been the Bret Baer special).

When asked if Stevens knew the dangers of being there, he replied, “He knew, but he believed in the mission.” (paraphrased)

The opposition groups that are receiving the most of the lethal aid are exactly the ones we don’t want to have it,” said one American official familiar with the outlines of those findings, commenting on an operation that in American eyes has increasingly gone awry.

If that is true, no amount of 'Cables' between State Dept and Amb. Stevens will exonerate Hillary. Hillary is done.

Especially after what I just heard Col. Anthony Shaffer state on the Judge Jeanine Show about ten minutes ago. Shaffer stated that help could have been had from a nearby US ship to the Ambassador and the three others in less than 30 minutes!!

Amazing statement here by someone who really knows his stuff.!!

My bet is Steven's was supposed to be taken hostage so he could work with al Qaeda in Syria without anyone knowing about it. Remember, there wasn't supposed to be any security there to put up any resistance.

Rumors were that Stevens was to be taken alive as a high value target and then traded for the blind sheik.My guess is that he willingly died of smoke inhalation rather than be a useful tool of the obama regime and terror types but we will never know.

He was even a muslim. He spoke arabic. The guy was incredibly naive. That was at least part of what got him killed. However its also naive to think that both state and the regime didn't want him gone. Get rid of his security refuse him any more give him only locals who were compromised and and then let nature take its course. Could well be what happened. IT all makes sense.

Another thing I just learned, Col. Shaffer said in an eight hour fight at the embassy they could have had help from a US ship in less than 30 minutes, this had to be a hit. Administration claims they couldn't get "permission" major leauge bullshitteee!!!

If he was in fact running weapons to Syria, then he was going where the weapons were going.

Syria has the potential to blow up out of control, and they certainly don't want anyone to know that we have operatives in Syria helping al Qaeda learn how to use heavy weapons like surface to air missiles.

To be honest with you there are so many possibilities I am just trying to put this entire thing all together and am still learning more and more all the time.

From what I have read about Stevens he seemed to have connections all over the arab world. You hear as much positive about him as you do negative. Its hard to pigeon hole this guy with any accuracy.

Nothing is what it seems, and they are definitely changing their stories almost on a daily basis.

Changing the story to create as much confusion as possible so as to create as small a group as possible that believes the same thing is a typical Clinton MO.

The Clintons view the American people as a jury, and the idea is to get a hung jury. Nobody agrees as to what happened.

That's another problem I have had, and thanks for that analysis. Its the only thing that makes any sense. Was the regime just letting Hillary run the 8 hours of hell going on in Benghazi knowing she would screw it up and unless they called for help from us ships just a half hour away Stevens was not coming out alive.Or, were they pulling her strings?

I don't know. When she took responsibility I knew the fix was in. There is no way the Clintons do anything for anyone but themselves. You know a deal was cut and its always the same deal; power/vs money. Assuming Hillary wants a shot at 2016 as much as we think she does, pragmatically speaking she needs the Chicago mobsters on her side.Only a fool would take them and us on in 2016 when Mitt will be a shoe in unless they can create some huge diversions.

I guess that bubba is helping the chicago mobsters because hillary wants a shot in 2016 and he does not want them putting up another obabma. Little makes sense these days however.

Obama’s not going to win because the dems want him out as bad as anyone else.

If Obama is reelected the economy will crash, good possibility it will anyway, so they cannot have Obama in the WH when it does.

Better for the dems to have Obama out and blame the crash on the republicans undoing Obama’s great economic policies and returning us to the oh so terrible Bush years.

I'm starting to get the feeling Steven's was off the reservation and wasn't representing the US as a whole anymore but was strictly working for Hillary with Obama’s blessing.

I’ve always believed Stevens was supposed to be taken hostage and held until the day Romney was sworn in to recreate the “October Surprise” of Carter and Reagan.

This would set Hillary up for 2016 to run against Romney. This would give Hillary 4 years nonstop of dems accusing republicans of planned the attack. It would be a repeat of “Bush Knew” for the first 9/11 attack.

I believe Stevens was supposed to be taken hostage, taken to Syria to teach al Qaida to use the advanced weapons, then when he is released on the day Romney is sworn in he is viewed as a hero and nobody would dare question the hero.

When planes start falling from the sky because al Qaida is well trained with surface to air missiles, it can be blamed on someone else and Romney has a problem.

Hillary is a psychopath. She has a habit of repeating herself. She will do the same thing over and over and over and she has developed a very clear pattern to her actions.

Problem for Hillary, she's an attorney and she always tried to create her own defense. You end up with a psychopath defending a psychopath. The patterns of her crimes and the pattern of her defense multiply themselves.

Hillary always projects. She accuses others of what she is guilty of. That is always her first line of defense and it is what I always look for first. What could possibly be going on that it would be blamed on someone else.

So much to take in here I thought I would do it a little bit at a time.

Obama’s not going to win because the dems want him out as bad as anyone else.

I can buy that,his first debate performance almost echoes that as well.

If Obama is reelected the economy will crash, good possibility it will anyway, so they cannot have Obama in the WH when it does.

I'm hoping Mitt can get things rolling fast enough so we avoid the crash,hard to predict.

Better for the dems to have Obama out and blame the crash on the republicans undoing Obama’s great economic policies and returning us to the oh so terrible Bush years. I'm starting to get the feeling Steven's was off the reservation and wasn't representing the US as a whole anymore but was strictly working for Hillary with Obama’s blessing.

IF you can predict what Stevens was doing when and why you are a far better man than I. I have tried and he is all over the map. On our side on Tuesday and representing hamas on wed. go figure.

I’ve always believed Stevens was supposed to be taken hostage and held until the day Romney was sworn in to recreate the “October Surprise” of Carter and Reagan.

My take was Stevens was supposed to be a high value target,taken hostage and traded for the blind sheik.He spoiled that by dying of smoke inhalation.Did he do it on purpose as a patriot or did it just happen? I don't know.Thought I did but not now. Maybe the video reveals what happened. Too bad we will never see it.

This would set Hillary up for 2016 to run against Romney. This would give Hillary 4 years nonstop of dems accusing republicans of planned the attack. It would be a repeat of “Bush Knew” for the first 9/11 attack. I believe Stevens was supposed to be taken hostage, taken to Syria to teach al Qaida to use the advanced weapons, then when he is released on the day Romney is sworn in he is viewed as a hero and nobody would dare question the hero. When planes start falling from the sky because al Qaida is well trained with surface to air missiles, it can be blamed on someone else and Romney has a problem.

Hard to tell,I was not able to get into Stevens' mind enough to say which direction he would go.From what I hear the shoulder fired missiles are not that hard to use. As to who gets the blame,as long as the Axlelrods are running the media we will always be on defensive.

Hillary is a psychopath. She has a habit of repeating herself. She will do the same thing over and over and over and she has developed a very clear pattern to her actions.

Agreed Hillary, Bill,the Chicago mob all easy to predict except for their diversions.

Problem for Hillary, she's an attorney and she always tried to create her own defense. You end up with a psychopath defending a psychopath. The patterns of her crimes and the pattern of her defense multiply themselves.

Brilliant stuff here.

Hillary always projects. She accuses others of what she is guilty of. That is always her first line of defense and it is what I always look for first. What could possibly be going on that it would be blamed on someone else.

The psyops that are used both by the Clinton mob and the Chicago mob are unending. Axel is a sleuth when it comes to astroturfing, projection and Hillary and Bill can triangulate like no one and of course projection is just standard stuff that goes along with the myriad of lies both mobs tell. In short we face a formidable enemy like we have never encountered before. How else could they get an illegal communist muslim elected.

Somehow, this doesn’t surprise me one damned bit, considering the muslim/liar/racist/0bummer-traitor-in-chief & Hitlery Rotten Klintoon running things at the White Hut/Crib, State and DoD. What a waste of 3 other lives; Stevens I could give a crap about. He was complicit in arms-smuggling etc for muzzie filth, trying to further the subhumans’ caliphate against the West. This is 100x bigger than Watergate, but will probably never be told, in full.
