    Much thanks to Wikileaks, we may finally get to the bottom of why we were in Benghazi and stayed while most other western nations just cleared out. Hopefully, Assange will release the eMails in the second week of September so the details will filter out to the public before the election. Heaven's knows the Lame Stream Media mouth pieces for the Democrat party won't cover anything about it. Trump should simply buy CNN or a large chunk of their air time to counter act the left wing spin.

    You unlock this door with the key of bat crap crazy imagination. Beyond it is another dimension-a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into the Twilight Zone.

    We already know what was going on in Libya and why the US Annex was in Benghazi... I certainly know.

    It us incumbent upon the accuser to provide facts and substance to back up the accusation.

    There was a time when the voices of MUC -Made Up Crap - complained that Obama and Hillarybwere not doing anything to help the opposition in Syria and Libiya. It us so easy to accuse with MUC but so difficult or impossible to back your accusations if they they are built on crap and made in the voice of a diarrhea rant.

    Eastern Libya has always been hostile towards Gaddafi.. Sirte, Benghazi, Ras Lanuf, Marsa Brega... The war raged in Libya from Feb 2011 (US embassy closed) thru October 2011)

    Some militias in the East had fought against Ghaddafi and formed the Transitional Council which was trying to bring back the Libyan constitution under Idris.

    The Annex was staffed by CIA (not soldiers) ... linguists, analysts, communications officers and translators.. There was NO US consulate in Benghazi... no Consulate general, no Marine guard.

    After 13 investigations and millions of wasted taxpayer dollars I believe the crackpots should call it a day. If you don't get that you can join their club.

    Assange released this one on Aug 1st. Which has to do with Syria. But you know the leftness. They know where they cant stand in the light.

    Thanks for your fecally obsessed posts, as usual. Very classy of you. Nothing is made up. http://www.wnd.com/2013/08/cnn-confirms-wnd-reporting-on-gun-running-in-benghazi/
    Egyptian officials have confirmed the arming of "rebels" in Syria through Turkey. Check out who Christopher Stevens was talking with the evening he was killed in Benghazi. Your post is idiotic.

    Should we just ignore all the evidence of Clinton and Obama arming jihadists in Syria? I'm sure you'd love that, anyway.

    Ambassador had dinner with the Turkish envoy.


    In an interview with Reuters published in June, Libyan warlord Abdul Basit Haroun declared he is behind some of the biggest shipments of weapons from Libya to Syria. Most of the weapons were sent to Turkey, where they were then smuggled into neighboring Syria, he said.

    Haroun explained he sent a massive weapons shipment from the port in Benghazi in August 2012, days before the attack on the U.S. compound. The weapons were smuggled into Syria aboard a Libyan ship that landed in Turkey purportedly to deliver humanitarian aid.

    Ismail Salabi, a commander of the February 17 Brigade, told Reuters that Haroun was a member of the Brigade until he quit to form his own brigade.

    The February 17 Brigade provided external security to the attacked Benghazi U.S. compound, including the villa where Stevens lived when he was in Benghazi. Stevens held his last meeting with a Turkish diplomat in the compound and ultimately died there in the attack.

    The February 17 Brigade is part of the al-Qaida-linked Ansar Al-Sharia, a militia that advocates the strict implementation of Islamic law in Libya and elsewhere.

    I don't know how to put this to you, but it looks like Hillary lied. And honestly, when new facts are presented, most educated folk read them and try to assess what they mean. I don't recall any scientific method which involves throwing out facts that don't support your current understanding on a topic.

    Are you prepared to say my link doesn't have any proof just based on YOUR wishful speculation? Sorry. That doesn't impress anyone.

    We know that the mission at the annex was to support the militias that supported the Libyan constitution...

    We can only speculate about arms going to Syria... especially as late as 2012.. The Syrian conflict broke out in March 2011.

    10,000 Sunnis in the Syrian army defected and took their weapons with them.

    Rep.Issa (GOP - Fever Swamp) : Good day everyone. It has come to my attention that after 56 separate Republican led investigations that turned up nothing to indicate criminal intent, action or malfeasance on the part of Secretary of State Clinton, much less any chargeable crime or indictments, new groundbreaking and dramatically guilt proving evidence has been uncovered by a keyboard warrior with a GED typing away in a trailer on an obscure right-wing website, the PoFo (aka Stormfront Lite). We will, accordingly, be opening 9 more investigatory committees tomorrow with unlimited monies. Thank you and God bless "real" America.

    Help me out with this please.

    The adventures of a Libyan weapons dealer in Syria | Reuters


    Abdul Basit Haroun says he is behind some of the biggest shipments of weapons from Libya to Syria, which he delivers on chartered flights to neighbouring countries and then smuggles over the border.

    After fleeing Libya in his 20s, Haroun established himself as a property developer in Manchester. After about two decades in the British city, he returned to Libya in 2011 to fight in the revolution, where he became a prominent rebel commander.

    He says he sends aid and weapons to help Syrians achieve the freedom he fought for during the Libyan revolution.

    The first consignment of weapons was smuggled into Syria aboard a Libyan ship delivering aid last year, Haroun says, but now containers of arms are flown "above board" into neighbouring countries on chartered flights.

    In the months since Haroun began his work, arming the rebels has moved up the international agenda, with Saudi Arabia equipping them with missiles, and Washington also planning to send weapons to the men fighting President Bashar al-Assad.

    Haroun spoke to Reuters over coffee and homemade cake late at night at his villa on the outskirts of Benghazi, the eastern city that began the uprising that deposed Muammar Gaddafi.

    His son, a young man who spoke English with a Manchester accent, offered help with weapon prices and other details.

    Haroun was upset the West had not intervened in Syria, as it did in Libya and said the opportunity to avert a larger war had been missed.

    "Even when the war in Syria ends, there will be another war in region; Sunni against Shia. At the beginning, there was just Assad to bring down ... now Hezbollah, Iran are involved."

    A Reuters reporter was taken to an undisclosed location in Benghazi to see a container of weapons being prepared for delivery to Syria. It was stacked with boxes of ammunition, rocket launchers and various types of light and medium weapons.

    Haroun and an associate said it was being stored on the unnamed base to keep the arms safe.

    "They are not partners with me in the transfer of weapons, but I store the weapons here because it is a safe place," said Haroun's associate, who asked not to be named because it could negatively impact his relief work.

    Some guy at a bar says his brother in law knows a guy who smuggled guns across sea and a few countries to sell them to crazy Jihad jerks.. who bounce a check. Mrs Clinton was nowhere near the scene and in the area.. you can get an AK 47 anywhere. MOST weapons ISIS got ... were picked up when the Iraqi Army ran away.. OR.... where hauled from an unguarded huge warehouse soth of Bagdad as we were to focused on finding Saddam to GUARD it all. (big mistake). The embedded TV journalists had it on TV.. were watching " civillians loading up artillery shells, RPGs AKs,Ammo.. into pickups.

    Why have 152 mm artillery shells if you got no HOWITZERS.......well... we got the answers to that. ISIS evolved from that via "Al Qaeda Iraq, the Fedayeen, Sunni "insurgents (aka-Terrorists.)

    No LEGIT source confirms that ANY US groups exported Libyan weapons to Syria or Iraq. If that DID happen.. It would be the CIA, not the Sec State. Generally... we never knew WHO we could trust (except the Kurds)

    Bagdad (shia) and Turkey and random Sunni.. don't LIKE the Kurds but they had the BALLS to fight ISIS. They were GOOD to US troops in Iraq. I'd have been okay with Arming the Kurds... which has only happened recently (and not enough). Euros did recently arm the Kurds so..... cool with that.

    Bogus"sources" ain't FACT. IF it was PROVEN FACT we were smuggling weapons to ....Whoever 3-4 years ago or more.. that's BIG FRIGGIN' News. Headlines. HOURS on all networks. Anyone NOTICE? no. Libya was a bit chaotic and individuals MAY well have smuggled. The Witchunts.. did not BOTHER with the CIA.. the only folks who MIGHT have had RELEVANT info. The point never was relevant info.

    So you looked up the beginning narrative of "The Twilight Zone"..cute.

    Why don't you continue by saying 'and in that Twilight Zone lies 4 dead Americans, who's families had been lied to by Hillary Clinton"?
