Exclusive: Confidential source reveals to me what really happened in Benghazi
allenbwest.com ^ | May 23, 2014 | Allen West

Today as I returned from Detroit, I had a moment that I truly felt was God sent, as I don’t believe in coincidences. It happened on one of my flights, and it was two hours I will never forget.

I was seated beside someone who personally knew one of the men who was there on the roof in Benghazi. This person was excited to share with me the “ground truth” of what happened September 11, 2012.

My seat mate drew schematics to orient me to the “time and spacing” and the direction of the attack. I learned about the repeated orders to the men at the CIA annex to stand down and do nothing — thank God two of them, Glenn Doherty and Ty Woods, lived up to their code of honor and ran to the sound of the guns, resulting in their loss of life — but the preservation of life for others, their fellow Americans.

I learned about the proximity of the staging area of the attack to the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, and the attackers were indeed Ansar al-Sharia, a group affiliated with al-Qaida. I came to understand why Ambassador Chris Stevens was there in the first place and that he had in fact requested better security but was denied – the question is, by whom? And I learned that the Martyrs of 17 February Brigade were in charge of security and were the ones who opened the gates, then fled.

I learned there are those who are being threatened with their pensions being cut off if they come forth to speak.

And I learned, as I presumed, that there was a covert weapons scheme going on in Libya, Benghazi.

When and if this story makes it to abc.com or even foxnews.com we’ll know it has veracity.

"When and if this story makes it to abc.com or even foxnews.com we’ll know it has veracity."

IMO it will never get legs on the MSM...even fox.
What you have here is basically hear-say; a 2nd (or even 3rd) hand story.
I do think that is how this would be considered.

Personally, I believe it and have great faith in Mr. West - but I do not for one New York minute think this faith is shared by the "media."

But, has it gotten much exposure even on Fox?

***
Fox is covering for the Soros Administration as much as the other networks are. Don’t be fooled.

There was a ‘recreational’ reason for Stevens being there, in addition to the weapons dealing. It probably wouldn’t have any direct bearing on Gowdy’s hearings, but it may have contributed the method of Steven’s murder.

Sorry, I can say no more about it. Even that is borderline of betraying a trust. But I hope it eventually becomes part of the official record.

A friend grew up an avid reader, but had little real-world experience about how some words were to be pronounced.

Only upon turning 20-ish did she learn that there was no tribe called “Sucks” Indians (Sioux).

Of course it won't and probably shouldn't.

Anyone can say anything. It's why if West felt enough to go public with this, he clearly felt this individual was credible and in a position to know. And why I mentioned he might as well have identified this mystery person since anyone with access could find out who was seated next to him.

Col. West should read FR and he’d have known this from the get go.

Given there is no evidence or proof, they would be nuts to cover these stories.

I do not understand what would be so surprising that we funneled weapons to Libyan rebels. I also do not think it is a big deal that we were buying them back and sending the weapons to Syria. Quite frankly I would expect this to happen.

Pardon me Colonel West, if am correct. A counter? Hope this individual volunteered.

Aaahhh! The only ones in the nation-wide government taxpeasant-pillaging operation that will be denied a share of the swag...

My point is, this is a pretty weak “exclusive” by West - “I met a guy, who knows a guy . . .” He can do better.

I dunno - Katie Couric, who gets paid somewhere in the neighborhood of $7,500 an hour, would use the phrase "some say"...
