Behind the Attack on Benghazi

It’s more than clear to me that President Obama ran guns through Libya into Syria, by-passing Congress once again. This comes as its been learned that between 300 to 400 national security officials received emails detailing the Benghazi terrorist attack as it was happening on 9/11, raising fresh questions about the truth behind the attack.

The emails show that the Libyan radical Islamic group Ansar al-Sharia claimed responsibility for the attack jus’ two hours after it began via social media. Furthermore, White House officials said an unmanned Predator drone was sent over the U.S. mission in Libya, providing Washington with a live feed to the chaos that unfolded.

Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens was officially on a diplomatic mission in Benghazi, though it’s clear the U.S. “Special Mission Compound” building had more to do with the CIA than diplomacy. The idea that Stevens could have been involved in redirecting arms from Libya to Syria is hardly a stretch.

He had the perfect résumé for gun-running, as he had helped manage gun-running to the Libyan rebels during the insurgency against former dictator Moammar Gadhafi. The White House named Stevens liaison to the Libyan rebels in March 2011, months before Gadhafi’s August 2011 ouster.

A distress message left by U.S. diplomat Sean Smith, who died in the attack, on a gaming website, a strange place to post a message like this: “Assuming we don’t die tonight, we saw one of our ‘police’ that guard the compound taking pictures.”

Thirty four minutes later, when the Americans in the CIA safe house already knew something was wrong, U.S. Ambassador Stevens took a meeting with the Turkish ambassador. That ambassador leaves with no incident, unharmed.

Hours later, the attack began. The fight lasted for seven hours, until the break of dawn, again — with the live feed streamed to the White House Situation Room.

Benghazi isn’t the first time unauthorized gun-running schemes initiated by the Obama administration have cost American lives. The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATFE) gave some 2,000 high-powered weapons to Mexican-based drug cartels in 2009 and then lost track of the guns.

The death toll from weapons used in the ATFE program — dubbed “Fast and Furious” – stands at more than 200 people 200 deaths and it continues to rise. Among the dead is U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, shot and killed in December 2010 near Rio Rico, Arizona, while attempting to apprehend a group of armed subjects.

Obama allowed the attack to happen and four Americans die so the evidence would be obliterated and the trail back to the White House would go cold. This is also why it took the FBI such a long time to get into the compound where the attack happened, even though a CNN reporter was able to walk in and recover Stevens’ personal diary.
