Big document dump on Bengazi today . Part of Brennan confirmation .

recon00

Someone with better intel than I have, consider this possible scenario concerning Bengazi:

Assume the Obama Administration is trying to facilitate the movement of SA7 AA missiles from Libya to the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda (those weapons were shipped from Bengazi to Syria through Turkey on Sep 12). Assume that this support was unknown to CIA and Patraeus (it was a rogue CIA / White House operation). To prevent the Ambassador or CIA officers from from interfering with or "outing" the movement of those weapons, Obama's people used their Muslim Brotherhood contacts to order a hit on the Ambassador, and then on the CIA annex.

This gives Obama the ability to have plausible deniability, blaming the operation on those who are actually trying to prevent the movement of arms. Neither Patraeus nor Clinton would have any knowledge of it. The only people with knowledge would be Obama (and his handlers), and his Muslim Brotherhood Handlers.

I do not believe that Webb's book gets all the way to the bottom of this story, but that he is onto something that stinks.

This seems to me to be Obama's version of Iran Contra. For you young guys, look it up. That was in my day...

GraceMascorro

@recon00 I agree with you, why else would Stevens be in Benghazi to only meet with the Turkish Ambassador. they sat there and saw the people photographing the compound. Stevens and Smith knew it was coming and nobody in Washington was listening..

Kim l

@recon00 I can only pray this did not happen. If there is any truth to this I hope someone gets the proof to get this man out of office.

Ugh, I truly dislike her! Truly dislike her! I have no respect for anyone that doesn't respect themselves. And she is clearly a career driven politician. 1. she stood by Bill when he was accused, fine, stand by. BUT once he admitted he did Monica and she stood by him, I lost all respect for her. To allow someone to disrespect you like that just so you can stay in some sort of power, to stay in some sort of political office...ugh, disgusted by her! 2. She then moves to nyc to run for senate because she cares about NY?? lies!! all lies! it was all about running for Government. I have no respect for her, coward, spineless. She should have left bill. By her staying with him she sends a message that it's okay to allow someone to treat you like shit, lie to you and disrespect you. And this is coming from a male, she should have more self respect.

Hey folks, not sure if anyone is interested, however, HC and Obama will 'appear' on 60 Minutes tonite, for what that is worth. Rather doubt they will 'enlighten' us wth Intel on Benghazi, especially since both are Guilty as hell for the entire fiasco.....6

@Recon6 So did you see ol' HC in Fox News last night? She was on Greta and I was really excited about this appearance, however, after watching the 'performance' I was sorely disappointed. Seems like it's going to take people like Brandon and the crew at SOFREP to get down to the truth of the matter. The sad part is, even knowing the truth, no one will be held accountable for the deaths of the patriotic Americans that lost their lives that day. If you saw it, your thoughts?

@haikurules Hello there, sorry to be so late in responding. Left for awhile yesterday after the dustup over Shag, but it's all good now. You seem to have joined the group, me included, that are Not fans of HC, lol. Not sure if you have joined the Team Room? or signed up for the ebook by BW and Jack? They are going to give us some good Intel on the True Benghazi debacle, and it won't be the b.s. spewed by O or HC for sure. Sadly, no one will ever be held accountable and those Heroes will never receive the recognition they absolutely deserve. So few of us remain that want answers, the multitudes don't aren't even aware of what happened, nor do they care, so damned sad for America....6

But as you said, it is sad that such a thing can occur and no one seems to care. Guess if they would have been kids, then more people might be paying attention!

Hey Copy. OK. Where to start..... moved back to Tennessee after the Navy, went to college, met and married a cajun girl. She got me started drinking coffee (coonass coffee -coonass is another name for cajuns, sorta like redneck...), then I moved to Texas after our divorce and worked in the oilfield offshore - where they drink.... coonass coffee... so, I'm purty well addicted to it and need it to start my heart in the mornings.

The sillywater comes from 'roundabout these parts' in Tennessee - comes from a friend of a friend whose cousin knows somebody... clear as water but makes you plumb silly after a couple snorts. I do make a brew myself with blackberries, sugar, water , spices and good brandy. It's a recipe from the 1860's called a cordial - aptly named as I do a little re-enacting - or did... I'm about done as it is a younger man's deal...-and the ladies like it...

WIsh there were ranges around here like they had in Texas. Hell, the closest one to me is run by the State Wildlife ( they all are actually) and you gotta count rounds - and nothing over 100 yards. There are a couple indoor pistol ranges, but you gotta be 'static' and 'slow'

What I Iearned from the hearings.

You can claim responsibility but dodge accountability if you're a democrat.

You can say I didn't know/read the messages from the most dangerous embassy ine the world while being the Sec State of the United Stats and get away with it if you're a democrat.

This is political. If it were Republians there would be a special prosecutor, the press would covr it and Joe Shmoe would know how inept the administration is.

Hilary is a magnificent actress. She can go from almost breaking down to chuckling in 60 seconds. She will be formadible in 2016.

FTR, not saying republicans are much better in the competence area but they are held to account for their snafus and you don't get the political cover from fellow members of the party.

@majrod "FTR, not saying republicans are much better in the competence area but they are held to account for their snafus and you don't get the political cover from fellow members of the party. "

I have to admit that the Hurricane Katrina debacle sprang to mind when I read this. I think that it's the nature of politics that they protect their own - be it Dem or Rep. Yes, there is always a lot of sound and fury, but very little solid censure. I simply can't think of a time when either party didn't circle their wagons around a misbehaving member, and if the misbehaving member was - behind the scenes - pressured to resign, they always walked away with a hefty pension and a lucrative job waiting somewhere. I've seen this on the national, state and local level. Scandal and screw-ups seem to be about the only dang thing that unite politicians.

@oldSquid @Tango9 Fortunately he is not diabetic. He's an old biker who has had a couple of bad crashes that caught up with him as he's grown older. In the last few years he's had a couple of back surgeries, surgery on his throat and a broken hip. I was serious when I said he's the toughest SOB I've ever known...remember that watch commercial, "takes a licking and keeps on ticking" - that's my bro, Boots :) The hardest part will be recovery when he gets impatient with the whole healing process. Fortunately, my son knows how to deal with him. Underneath that toughness is a soft fluffy heart and he can't say 'no' to his nephew :) If it gets really outta hand, I get called in and Boots swears he's afraid of me :)

Is he diabetic? I know that weakens the kidneys and makes infections harder to fight.

@oldSquid @Tango9 oldSquid, it was a set of bad circumstances. Surgery went fine and doctor had intended to keep him in the hospital for rehab instead of moving him to care center, with the thought that it would lessen the possibilities of infection. However, the hospital got slammed with flu patients and doc thought the care center would be safer. First thing that happened is the care center over-dosed him on pain medication - the next day, his fever spiked and he was sent back to hospital. Infection had set in around the knee, and his kidneys went septic. Apparently that can happen quickly. Once the crisis is over, I can guarantee you that I will be talking to the care center - in a very loud voice. We'll have to wait and see how the infection progresses.
