“No one can possibly think the Obama administration knew the attack was coming and let it happen.”
I can.
A few days before Benghazi, the Tripoli embassy site was hit at the gate by a driver. Stevens barely escaped there.
We heard for a couple of weeks about an exchange for the Blind Sheikh. How would that have taken place?
We know there are a number of terrorist camps in Eastern Libya. It’s famous for them. And, we fought alongside AQ in the overthrow of Qaddafi.
US Spec Ops groups were in the Caribbean somewhere the night of the attack. What they were doing there, I don’t know. Sounded like a planned training to me.
In sum, for some reason, although Canada and the Red Cross left Libya the week before, we remained. Stephens even went to a secondary location, guarded by locals.
The evidence is asymmetrical, but it’s there. Someone knew enough to broadcast an “I’m sorry” message from Cairo that morning. That is an odd bit of political tripe if there ever was one.
Obama's ties to the MB crowd need no limning by me -- they're well-documented now, going back at least to the first "flotilla" incident, when it turned out that Medea Benjamin (Code Pink), William Ayers, and Bernardine Dohrn (both Obama "kitchen cabinet/politburo" members) were all in Cairo talking to the MB at the same time, and ostensibly carrying Obama's back-channel water for him.
President Morsi and the rest of the MB wanted their hero, the Blind Sheikh, released so he could come home in triumph to Cairo (and they could hoist "Mission Accomplished" banners over his head and rape a few CBS newswomen in celebration).
Yeah, sounds like a deal could have been had ..... if they'd had Ambassador Stevens to trade for the Sheikh.
