Well, it's Sunday before election day and Obama and his administration are still getting away with it. And we will vote and watch the results on Tuesday, the results that are being reported by the same main stream media that is covering up for Obama! I'll watch Fox and plan to drink a lot. If Romney wins, I'll be hung over and happy. If Obama wins?
A scenario that makes as much sense as any cropped up on Fox awhile back:
Amb Stevens was on a covert mission to Benghazi to coordinate the next arms shipment from Libya to Syria through Turkey. One such shipment had been completed just 5 days before. The arms are destined to rebel groups sympathetic to secular policies, not to groups that promote Jihadi or strict Islamic policies. So he goes to Benghazi with (or he meets with) the Information Officer Sean Smith (now if you believe that Sean Smith was a real information officer or that Sean Smith was his real name, I have a bridge for you). To keep the mission quiet, a very small security entourage accompanied Amb Stevens to meet with a Turkish diplomat to coordinate shipments, pass money, whatever. They chose 9/11 as a good day to cover all of this. After the meeting with the Turk, the shit hits the fan.
So where do these arms come from? From the same arms stashes that Al Qaeda rebel groups draw from for their nefarious activities, so this pisses them off to no end. Not only are the arms gonna be denied to them, but don't even go to rebel groups they provide and support in Syria! In their minds, this has to be stopped at all costs. Leaks in the Libyan security forces tipped off the armed rebels that Amb Stevens was going to Benghazi on that day to meet the Turk. The rebels don't want to piss off the Turks, so they wait until the meeting with him is over, then they attack AS PLANNED!.
Their attack goes better than planned as Libyan security forces disappear and there is no real resistance from the Consulate. They probably were aware of the annex a kilometer or so away, but not necessarily of its real significance ( a CIA center (LP) for gathering intelligence on Al Qaeda, coordinating center for arms shipments, whatever) but were certainly drawn to it when Tyrone Woods led a rescue effort from there to the Consulate and returned there as well. The fact that the CIA reaction team from Tripoli went there (and the hospital looking for the Amb) also reinforced its significance. Why would the reaction team want to protect the annex and not go to do the same to the Consulate? Could it be that the delay (3 hours) that team encountered at Benghazi airport was deliberate to allow the rebels complete access to the Consulate? If so, that was factored in by the Al Qaeda planners, but perhaps not the CIA Annex!
So, the CIA may be right when they say they dispatched the reaction team from Tripoli to Benghazi within 25 minutes of the attack on the Consulate. But the 3 hr delay at the airport rendered them useless to help protect that Consulate. Or, maybe it wasn't intended to go to the Consulate after all. Since contingency planning had the Amb and Sean Smith going to the Annex in an emergency, the reaction team was only destined to go the Annex all along.
Emboldened by the lack of reaction from the U.S, the Al Qaeda rebels regrouped then attacked the Annex. This is where Tyrone and Glenn bought the farm. Things get hazy here as the Annex is then evacuated (totally?) with survivors and the bodies of Tyrone, Glenn and Sean sent to an airport for evacuation from country. Time is required to destroy and/or remove documents, computers, hard drives, DVDs, photos, etc of an intelligence nature in a CIA Annex. CIA no doubt was trying to buy that time; Tyrone and Glenn may have paid for it. At some point in a CIA covert operation, secrets become more important than lives I think. Dead men tell no tales, but classified documents left behind do.
There were a lot of things to cover up in this whole affair. All of us are becoming more aware each day as Fox delves deeper and deeper, obviously aided by some "Deep Throat" source or sources. But there is something else that needs to be addressed as well. Why did it take 17 days for the FBI investigation team to get to Benghazi? Red tape with the Libyan government? Imminent danger? Or, perhaps was it the CIA attempting to clean up the Annex and any other embarrassing intelligence that they didn't want documented by the FBI in their investigation. CIA - FBI rivalries are long standing, especially when it involves external U.S. operations (CIA insists that is their sandbox) and CIA covert operations. CIA could easily convince Libyan leaders in Tripoli that it was not in their best interests to have this treated as a criminal case by a U.S. government bent on pointing fingers to anywhere and anyone but themselves. Come to think of it, CIA could convince Turkey, Tunisia and others of the same thing. They could easily convince me too. The coverup has easily demonstrated that many U.S. departments and agencies are stumbling all over themselves to avoid the spinning bottle to be pointed at them.
Oh well, have I embellished what the Fox reporter started to say before she was interrupted by her host? Guilty! Just had to get it off my chest as this whole affair stinks to high heaven. This is certainly von Lustbader material, but the ending would certainly be better with Jason Bourne involved! Look out, Obama, Jason is on your tail.
