WHY AMBASSADOR STEVENS AND THREE OTHER AMERICANS DIED
(Update october 24, 2012)
As horrible as it may be to contemplate, is it possible that the gruesome death of our Ambassador in Benghazi was acutally a part of a Al Quida Gun Running scheme gone horribly awry?
I believe that somehow it could be something along those line, because of all the unanswered questions there, the unbelievably chaotic and rushed manner in which the Obama administration tried to cover it up...and continued to cover it up well past all rational thinking would indicate that they were doing so...and because of common sense questions, questions like:
- Why were additional security requests for Benghazi denied after two recent attacks, one by an IED in June that blew a large whole in the wall?
- Why was the DOD Site Security Team (SST), funded by the Defense Department, and there to counter precisely this type of attak, removed from Libya in August, just a few weeks before the attack?
- Why was a U.S. Ambassador who had indicated he feared for his life and was seeking more security, sent to Benghazi, the hotbed for anti-Americanism, on the 11th Anniversyary of 911 (and the 11th anniversary of any event in Islam is considered "Holy") with no dedicated US security team?
- Why did numerous command centers watch the attack on Benghazi unfold for over SIX HOURS and not mount a large relief effort, or particularly immeidate support from potential US Navy vessels in the Med? or US Bases in Ityly? Navy F-18s can fly a long way and cover a lot of miles traveling at Mach 1.
- What was the relationship of Ambassador Stevens to the 17th of February Martyrs Brigade in Benghazi, the Al Quida leaders in Benghazi, and the already gun running operations coming out of Beghazi where Al Quida operatives there were arming their Al Quida sympathizer rebels in Syria?
- Why was the 17th of February Martyrs Brigade in Benghazi, an Al Quida affiliated, Sharia Law devoted, militia group tasked with providing any US security in Benghazi?
- Finally, what was the Turkish Ambassador or consulate meeting with Ambassador Stevens about just an hour before the attack. Turkey has vested interests in seeing Assad brough down in Syria and arming the rebels.
Could it be that Gun Running negotiations went bad and that some kind of an "October Surprize" was "supposed" to happen in Benghazi? After the kidnapping we would have seen an outraged Obama, stoked up and rightously indignant over this, on National TV claiming it would not be tolerated and that we would secure the release of Stevens. He would maybe even have "suspended his campaign to deal with it...for all Americans to see.
Then October would have been full of "that" story, and you can bet it would invariably have led to a Stevens release just before the election.
But even without a kidnapping, the gun running through Al Quida which appears almost certian now due to email releases, journalist reports, and the direct ties between the US and the Al Quida leaders who helped bring down Quadaffi which have already been made, would be far more than enough reason for the Obama administration to desperately cover up what went on there.
HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW OF THE ATTACK ITSELF:
Late that September 11th evening in Benghazi, at 9:40 PM, heavily armed and well organized attackers rushed into the compound and hour after the Turkish diplomat endfed his meeting with Ambassador Stevens, waving the radcial Islam flag. The American communications specialist saw it, yelling, "Attack, attack, attack," into the compund microphone and activating the Eminent Danger Notification system which turned the videos over to satellites feeds so the other command centers around the world, including in Tripoli, the State Department, the White House and others, could see it in real time. At no time on the videos, or according to the live reports from the communications building, or later testimony, was there any "demonstration," or "spontaneous protest" that somehow turned into an attck. This was a dedicated and well coordinated attack from the beginning. At the time, when scores of attackers streamed onto the consulate grounds, there were only seven Americans at the consulate. Four security officers, one communications specialist, the Ambassador and one state department specialist.A brave security officer, Agent David Uben, in the main consulate building ushered Ambassador Stevens and the State Department specialist, Sean Smith into the safe room which was protected by thick concrete walls, a very massive steel security gate, and a bending hallway back to a room where the three could "hunker down." BTW, Sean Smith sent PMs to a group he gamed with on the internet just a few hours before indicating that he believed he might not survive the night. Indicating that the Libyan Police Guards (from the Feb 17th Brigade) were "suspect".
As it was, the attackers tried to open the locked metal door and could not get into the safe room and it is clear that the three who were hiding there kept quiet and that the attackers did not know they were even there... so the attackers burned the building with diesel fuel as they left. If they had known would they have tried to get Steven's out, waiting for more heavy equipment to open that door? We do nt know.
The four other personnel could not get to the Ambassador in the main building because there were sinmply too many attackers and so they barracaded themselves into two other consulate buildings, now armed with automatic weapons, kevlar vests and full battle gear. Back in the main consulate residence, Uben pried one of the barred windows open enough to get out so they could escape the deadly smoke. When he went out, Stevens and Smith, for some reason, did not follow. Uben went back in to try and find them but could not and was driven out by the thick smoke. He tried again, but could not locate them. He was able to join up with the other four individuals and they were later reinforced by a six more Americans and sixteen Libyan personnel from the American "Annex" quick reaction force, a mile away. At that point, many of the attackers had left. The Americans went back to the main building to try and find the Ambassador but only found the body of Sean Smith, which the retrieved and took with them. At that point they came under heavy attack again and had to retreat, under fire from assault weapons and grenades, in an armored vehicle back to the Annex. They came under automatic weapons fire and grenade attack several times on their way, but made it back to the Annex before 11 PM, their vehicle riddled and barely running. But the fight was far from over.
At the Annex two former Navy SEALS, Glen Dorrity and Tyrone Woods were working with a total now of tweleve Americans and eighteen Libyan security personnel to defend it. It soon came under very heavy and sustained attack by mortars, grenades and automatic weapons fire from a larger group. During this attack Dorrity and Woods were killed and David Uben, the security officer who had been with Ambassador Stevens and Shawn Smith, was wounded severely. Finally, in the early hours of the morning, a reinforcement group, a Mobile Security Team (MSD), arrived at the airport in Benghazi from Tripoli, and they came to the Annex. Around this time, a Predator Drone had been launched from somewhere (unclear as to where yet) and was also providing video overhead coverage of the fighting. Altogether they were able to hold off the repeated attacks. This entoire group held off another attack on the Annex. Afterwards, they decided that even larger and more sustained attacks were possible at any time and so they determined to abandon Benghazi and after destroying as much sensitive material as they could, they all left for the airport.
Sometime during this time frame, emails to the Whie House form US Intelligence sources indicate that an Al Quida group, Aansar Al-Sharia, took responsibility for the attack and announced it on their web site. Nnothing of any video was mentioned...nor has it been by our enemies, before or since, regarding this attack.
In the mean time some time after midnight, other Libyans, entered the now abandoned consulate grounds and the main building. They supposedly found the body of Ambassador Stevens in the main building. Reports conflict as to whether he was dead, or barely alive at the time. The pictures of him being dragged and carried through the streets are from this time frame. Ultimately he was taken to the Benghazi hospital some time after 1 AM where doctors tried to revive him...to no avail. He was pronoiunced dead at the hosptial in those very early morning hours. On the way out to the airport, the main group of retreating Americans had found out that Sterven's body was at the hospital, so they picked him up and the entire group, now having all four bodies, made their way to the Benghazi airport and flew back to Tripoli.
Thus Ambassador Stevens, Sean Smith and the two former Navy SEALS, Dorrity and Woods, were killed in Benghazi. If a kidnapping had been planned, what might have been manipulated into a "great moment” for Obama in an arranged “tough” negotiation to “save” Ambassador Stevens (who himself would have had no clue about any of this and would never have gone along with it), turned into the death of the Ambassador instead. This may sound far fetched...but too many questions remain unanswered and the Obama administration has willfully misled the American people and sought to coverup the true nature of the events there. The gun running story has great merit and has been reported on to some length...except for the potential tie to Benghazi.
Several nights ago Fox News with Bret Baier interviewed the Lt. Colonel leader of the DOD Site Security Team (SST), Lt. Colonel Andrew Wood, who had been in Benghazi and who had alerted (along with the Regional Security Officer at the Embassy) the Defense Department and the State Department that the situation in Benghazi was untenable and required more secutiry. Their requests were not only turned down, the DOD Fast Response team of 16 special forces soldiers that Lt. Colonel Wood commanded was pulled out...just three or four weeks before the attack.
In that interview he detailed the dangerous situation and was asked why Ambassador Stevens would go to Benghazi under such circumsytances.
Lt. Colonel Andrew Wood replied that "he went anyway, because I think in his heart, the mission came first."

What was Steven's mission? Having himself asked for more security and indicating that his life was in danger...and having his own requests turned down, what Mission was so important that he would got to Benghazi anyway as the personnel representative of the President of the United States? (Which is what our Ambassadors are). Could it be he was involved with these very tense and difficult negotiations to arm the rebels in Syria? The families of the dead need to know. We need to know. All American citizens deserve to know.
Precisely because this was so horrible for these brave Americans. Presiely because this was so bad for America. Precisely because these questions remain unanswered. Presicely because numerous operations centers saw this in real time for over six hours and no major help was attempted from US forces at Sea or in Italy. Presicely because of the umitigated lies, deceptions, and now cover-up of this administration...this entire affair should actually be absolutely front page news in the whole country until it is resolved, campaigns or not. Luckily, the Majority GOP in the U.S. House of Representatives is already conducting a thorough investigation.
We have American blood on the ground. This was the first successful Al Quida organized terror attack on American soil that killed Americans since 911 2001, and we potentially have those amongst us who at the very least are covering it up for political purposes because it does not fit their narrative...or who, at the worst, may have helped to arrange it in an effort to create a new political narrative just before the election.
Knowing all of this, watch the following three videos. The first from FoxNews documents the gun running operation that is using Al Quida operatives to run guns to Al Quida rebels in in Syria. The second is of testimony exchange between the bureaucrats in Washington DC and the lead Security Officers on the ground in Libya. It is simply amazing...and shameful. The lead security officer in all of Libya for the US Government sums it up be saying, when referring to his Washingto DC support managers whom he had to ask for additional security that he felt like, "The Taliban is in the building,"...meaning within the US government. The third is of Glenn Beck on the Blaze connecting and documenting the dots regarding Benghqazi and the gun running operations emminating from Libya.

There is a stench of treason in the air...and it is hanging over our nation. God grant we can dispel it, and bring those responsible for these terrinble crimes to justice, both foreign attackers, and any indivduals inside our own government who may have been involved, or attemnoted to cover up the truth of it. Wherever that trail may lead.
