Ambassador Chris Stevens’ family: Don’t blame Hillary Clinton for Benghazi
Yahoo News ^ | 6/29 | Dylan Stableford

Posted on 06/29/2016 9:22:46 AM PDT by TangledUpInBlue

Hillary Clinton said on Tuesday that the long-awaited report from the House Select Committee on Benghazi “found nothing” new on the Sept. 11, 2012, attack that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, during her tenure as secretary of state.

And Stevens’ family agrees.

“I do not blame Hillary Clinton or [former Defense Secretary] Leon Panetta,” Anne Stevens, MD, Chris’ sister who has served as the family spokesperson since his death, told the New Yorker’s Robin Wright. “They were balancing security efforts at embassies and missions around the world. And their staffs were doing their best to provide what they could with the resources they had.

“The Benghazi mission was understaffed,” she continued. “But, again, Chris knew that. It wasn’t a secret to him. He decided to take the risk to go there. It is not something they did to him. It is something he took on himself.”

Of course, Stevens got the position because he and his family were well positioned leftists.

He was first posted to North Africa by GW Bush so maybe you're right.

But he was not raped.

How do you know that ? How would you know ?

Gaddafi , it is said, was raped.

How do we know that ? We don't , for sure.

But the media and government tell us so, and they never lie.

There is video of Gadaffi being knifed in the arse and that is the source of saying he was “anally raped.” There is only one source saying Stevens was raped and that was a local newletter published in Benghazi which only said “Amb. Stevens was treated like Gadaffi.” There is no evidence that that ever happened.

Loyal to their liberal party even at the point of tragic death. Useless drones.

Other than the media and our government, who said Stevens was gay ? (hint: diplomats in the Department of State, directly under Hillary's control)

Hillary wanted people to believe he was gay as a 'reason' for the 'attack'. This was to cover for the real reason, which was that she tried to rip off the terrorists by selling the weapons to a DIFFERENT GROUP of terrorists for MORE MONEY.

Neither Obama nor the first group of terrorists were very happy about that.

Maybe that was just a red herring to give an excuse why the muslim “terrorists” would torture him the way they did before killing him.

And the 'why' is because she was trying to make as much money (off the books) out of the deal as possible and rip off everyone. Unfortunately, The terrorists who Obama was supporting decided to eek out some revenge.

I think you are kinda lost. The CIA isn’t under State.

Correct. The CIA isn't. However, State has it's own Central Intelligence Agency.

There is something very odd about Chris Stevens's family. It was shortly after his death when his father was reported to be saying things that made me think he was non too grieved about the loss of his son.

Perhaps the quotes attributed to the father were inaccurate. This does happen. But they made him sound like a mentally off. He even said something that made it sound as if he was blaming Mitt Romney.

This was the CIA we all know that had a compound in Benghazi. Ditto for their operation in Syria, but nice try.

No kidding! If she’s this supportive of the decision to allow terrorists to rape and murder her own brother, what can her patients expect?

True. Which is where the Ambassador and the staff and the Special Forces guys tried to escape to.

The 'rebels' don't really care who or what these people are. CIA, INR, Bureau of Intelligence and Research, call it what you want. There was the CIA and there was the Dept. Of State cia. The Dept. of State cia was running the weapons scam that caused the attack. The CIA we all know was running a separate weapons scam.

The book was written by the heroes who survived. They were there. I believe them. They tried ALL NIGHT to get to Ambassador Stevens. There were not any terrorists in the building.
