They also knew what would happen to an openly gay ambassador in the MidEast/N.Africa region if the terrorists captured him.
MY guess is that Stevens had to go, gay or not.He knew too much and was becoming a loose cannon, saying the wrong things to the wrong people and hill/obama found out about it.Perhaps that why they made sure there was no security and what there was had already been compromised so much so that when the fighting started they laid down their weapons and fled.
We see what happened.
The terrorists did to Chris Stevens exactly what they do to any gay infidel.They tortured, raped and humiliated him before the killed him.
The blame for his death goes squarely on obama and hillary both of whom are gay. So just how much do they really care about the gay vote,gays in general? Very little I would say.
In Libya the whole area was under attack by Raging groups of thugs and Tara types for months it was only a matter of time until Benghazi and the compound were hit. Other embassies had already closed down and left. you had to be an idiot not to know it was coming. that’s why Hillary did what she did with the security and got rid of everyone she could to make sure that the Stevens would be taken and killed. also they knew their days were numbered at Benghazi so this was a perfect solution for the problem at hand.
So ... they basically had Chris Stevens offed? Even though it might cause some ‘ripples.’
It caused a lot more ripples than they expected, but we know what they are capable of.
