It sounds like the CIA had an op going on there attempting to secure some of the 20,000 MANPADs that the government had before it was overthrown. It is a worthy objective to keep those from getting to the wrong hands.
he American special operators, Woods, Doherty and at least two others were part of the Global Response Staff, a CIA element, based at the CIA annex and were protecting CIA operators who were part of a mission to track and repurchase arms in Benghazi that had proliferated in the wake of Muammar Qaddafi's fall. Part of their mission was to find the more than 20,000 missing MANPADS, or shoulder-held missiles capable of bringing down a commercial aircraft. According to a source on the ground at the time of the attack, the team inside the CIA annex had captured three Libyan attackers and was forced to hand them over to the Libyans. U.S. officials do not know what happened to those three attackers and whether they were released by the Libyan forces.
I disagree, entirely.
We have another ‘hey Girl’ heartthrob
That Kyle Clark reporter out of Denver!!
He rocked!!

Finally....a MSM reporter with manly guts!!
Yep, and we’re still waiting.
Oh crap! I hadn’t heard about that but that could be what caused this. It definitely wasn’t a YouTube video. Thanks.
Middle East Fast and Furious? or something else?
FOR THOSE WHO MISSED RUSH TODAY, listen to what this patriot says, as opposed to what were being told....
this makes it much more damaging (regular type emails wasn’t making much sense to me)...12 minutes worth of enlightening info here.. .
Looks like Petreuas just threw Obama under the bus.

Maybe he will surprise us onyx and be the hero when this is all over. Maybe he is Jennifer Griffen’s source??
Praying it is so!!
Thanks. I feel that this had a lot to do with the “protest” by Al Qaeda that got those four Americans murdered.
He’s trying to act like the “bullshxxer” comment was made in an off the record conversation....lies lies lies.....there is nothing that could pass thru his lips that I would find credible!
Doesn’t “track and repurchase” sound like we sold them the weapons in the first place?
“someone is lying like a muslim prayer rug”
I’m stealing that phrase and using it frequently!
Hi JD! Yes, thank you very much. I’m A-OK and you?
I most assuredly agree with you, that it’s time for all patriots within this regime (if any) to come forward, or forever be stained and possibly tried, right along with the Marxist.
Like you, I’ve never feared our government as much as right now. We must vote him out and every other possible demonic-rat.
God bless and keep you, dear JerseyDvl.
I heard about the Al Qaeda fast and furious connection from Glenn Beck and it does make sense..Obama doesn’t want his hands dirty with another fast and furious scandal..I think a part of Obama wants to lose because if he were to win he knows he would have to go through an Impeachment hearing..I think in a weird way he is hoping he loses
I seriously cannot stand BoR. I’m on FoxBiz almost exclusively now - except for weekends when it’s repeat palooza or non-stop infomercials.
I just sent it everywhere...
I haven’t been able to get online for hours and it’s been driving me crazy! But petraeus has been dirty for years. He is NOT a ‘soldier’s soldier’. Allen West is a soldier’s soldier. Petraeus was involved in something like this in Iraq prior to the surge and someone died there too. He is dirty and that is what got him his ‘dream job’ at the cia and he will do whatever it takes to cover obama’s scrawny butt.
