#Benghazi Synopsis Post May 2013

 
#Benghazi Synopsis Post May 2013

The Benghazi debacle gathered more important puzzle pieces at the House Oversight hearings on 8 May 2013.  Three witnesses: Deputy Chief of Mission Libya (DCM) Gregory Hicks; Eric Nordstrom, Department of State Regional Security Officer; and Mark Thompson, Department of State Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counter-Terrorism were under oath.  They paint a true picture of events surrounding the Benghazi tragedy that left our U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and foreign service members Sean Smith, Ty Woods and Glen Doherty murdered while on Department of State mission.  This occurred on September 11, 2012 in the NE coastal "Hot Zone" of Benghazi, Libya.  There is need to point to the date as being particularly galling due the tangent to 9/11 attacks in 2001 by Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorists.  The Democrats at this hearing made efforts to link Republicans to a politicization of Benghazi debacle. It was apparent that Democrats on the Committee had "sandpapered" to give speeches in support of Sec. Hillary Clinton, Department of State (DOS) and Obama's White House organization.  The Democrats on the Committee never asked a salient question during the entire testimony bringing any investigative value to what actually transpired in Benghazi.  Robin Kelly (D-IL) actually had the unenviable task of pulling infamous canard linking causality to YouTube Video ... are you listening?  For the last time Robin, the YouTube Video had no influence on the Benghazi attack.  DCM Hicks intoned during testimony, "The YouTube Video was a non-event!"  Go back to the December 2012 blog in this series for more details on the canard.
    
I pose a question; Will there ever come a time that integrity and principals evoke actions by Democrats, to shed their feeble blind loyalty and commit to the truth regarding DOS Benghazi operation negligence?  I pray for that day however after hearing Democrat members of the committee I have serious doubts that "integrity, honor & principal" will find firm footing in those who clearly endeavor to cover the posteriors of former Secretary Hillary Clinton & President Barack Obama ... along with the the administration's lackey crew of characters including Victoria Nuland, Susan Rice, Jay Carney, Ben Rhodes, Cheryl Mills & Valerie Jarrett to name a few.  Just be savvy enough to understand that Obama administration politicians are cheats & liars…and when not kissing babies…they're stealing the little tyke's lollipops.

Deputy Chief of Mission (DCM), Gregory Hicks gave us "on the ground" eyes into the attack and aftermath.  Quite a bit of his testimony pointed to negligent response from DOS HQ and the cover-up being foisted on the public.  Hicks stated he was given a DOS directive not to speak with Congressional investigators alone regarding any Benghazi events.  Hicks testified he had never before faced a directive such as this in 22 years of diplomatic service.  Hicks refused to comply with this request and DOS sent an attorney to monitor and insisted on sitting in on any of Hicks' discussions with members of Congress.  When he saw Susan Rice's 5 national TV appearances blaming the YouTube Video Hicks testified, “I was stunned. My jaw dropped. And I was embarrassed.”  Susan Rice never called him for input before her appearances on TV and that should give you credence for the unfolding plot. 

Following DCM Hicks obvious desire for the truth, Sec. Hillary Clinton's Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills came down hard and rendered a scathing critique of his performance when it became apparent he was not playing along with the YouTube canard.  Hicks thought this critique was an upbraid for his lack of "Taking 1 for the Obama Team" during interviews and telling the truth of Benghazi.  DCM Hicks continued to express dissatisfaction with the portrayal of the events commencing on September 11, 2012 by administration spokespersons, because the administrations stories about a YouTube Video were lies.  Gregory Hicks, 22 years in diplomatic service, has since been demoted by DOS.  You need to play along to get along with Obama administration.

Please listen to facts; DCM Hicks told Hillary Clinton on the night of the attack, during the attack that it was planned and coordinated by terrorists, most likely Ansar al Sharia ... as for the YouTube Video ... Hicks stated firmly, "The video was a Non-Event"... in Benghazi Libya.  Rep. Trey Gowdy revealed an e-mail in which DOS Assistant Sec. Jones confirmed to a Libyan official that the attack had been carried out by terrorist gang Ansar al-Sharia.  Days later, Susan Rice spewed bogus talking points on the five most popular Sunday political shows.  DCM Hicks said, "I never mentioned any "spontaneous demonstrations" related to a video in my phone call with Sec. Clinton on the night of the attacks".  So much for the YouTube Canard.  Again, you will find history on the YouTubeVid in my Dec blog ... read for chronology ... Benghazi unfolds as we peel the onion.  

Further testimony supported by both DCM Hicks &  Eric Nordstom should disappoint all Americans … namely that Benghazi was saddled with a "Sub-Standard" security rating by DOS inspections.  According to DCM Hicks testimony a waiver of responsibility could only be obtained from the Secretary of State to allow the facilities to be occupied given that sub-standard rating.  The buildings were not secure and the locale extremely dangerous.  Hillary testified previously that she did not handle any aspect of the security in Benghazi ... she said others handled security.  Well Sec. Clinton, if you have to sign off on the "Sub-Standard" security facility it would seem likely you would know about your own decision to waive the risk.  Either she lied in testimony or two career diplomatic service members lied.  Who do you believe?.  

Another particularly troubling fact arising in testimony is Hillary Clinton's desire for a Permanent Constituent Post in Benghazi.  This desire was even a surprise to Amb. Pickering according to DCM Hicks testimony.  Look at this carefully:  Ambassador Chris Stevens was directed to change his plans to arrive in Benghazi well before planned for a reason.  His original plans called for an October 2012 arrival.  At Hillary Clinton's direction, Amb. Stevens changed his plans and arrived earlier for one possible reason ... the mission had to be occupied and operating by September 30, 2012 to meet the Federal Funding deadlines as set forth.  No mission operational ... funding is lost ... from the testimony of DCM Hicks it was difficult to tell if the funding would be lost forever, a year, or some other period of time, however there was no doubt a loss of funding if mission not operational by the September 30, 2012 deadline.  Did this fact move Sec. Hillary Clinton?

When looking at Benghazi in the summer of 2012 there is ample evidence that Red Cross, UK Embassy & our mission had been attacked in various ways including bombs, RPG's and IED's.  Amb. Stevens had made it abundantly clear that his facilities could not withstand an organized attack in multiple warnings to DOS.  The Red Cross & UK both closed up shop and left town after the many warning signals and al Qaeda flags flying all over Benghazi.  As one tries to come up with an answer to the simple question …why weren't our men extracted from Benghazi well before the exact date of 9/11? There does not seem to be any reason that makes sense until you follow the money and look at the arrogance of Hillary Clinton's Department of State, Barack Obama and his administration insiders.  Are you listening?  Is it possible that the reason our men were not extracted from Benghazi is the DOS Benghazi mission would lose the funding window if not occupied prior to September 30th?  Looking at the situation from the Occam's Razor standpoint.  You have two options; 1.) Total criminal negligence or 2.) The potential loss of funding for Sec. Clinton's future Permanent Constituent Post in Benghazi.  A post she could point to and boost her foreign affairs credibility in a campaign for President in 2016.  Taking arrogance and ideologue natures into account, my leanings go towards the potential loss of funding as a reason to leave our men there to fend for themselves in an extremely dangerous setting.  A setting that portended attack long before Sept 11.  A place that Hillary considered an acceptable risk for her reward in the future.  I don't need to characterize what this would say about Hillary Clinton.  Just the fact Hillary acts sad during Transfer of Remains Ceremony and lies over the coffins of our murdered patriots while invoking the YouTube Video canard should make everyone uneasy.  She is one cold, calculating, arrogant fish.  Ask the #4KIA families if Hillary Clinton is admired.    

The cover-up is obvious from Department of State & Obama administration insiders after the attack on Benghazi.  We all know now that the CIA sent a report on the attacks with complete descriptions of terrorist organization causality.  The Department of State demanded all references to terrorism be scrubbed from the report.  We now know there were 12 versions of talking points with specific meaningful changes and eliminations at the behest of the Department of State.  No one is foolish enough to believe that Victoria Nuland cleansed the talking points on her own volition.  She appears to be a Hillary Clinton "Stepford Wife" when commenting about Benghazi.  This coward's scheme to remove Islamic terrorism from causality and put forth a YouTube canard soured the truth of the Benghazi attacks.  There was only one reason this was done.  The Presidential Election was a mere six weeks away and Barack Obama needed cover from the fallout if the real facts were known.  Joe Biden was running all over the country yelling, "Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive!"  

 Nice work Joe ... Seal Team 6 got rid of Osama bin Laden yet we're still saddled with Obama 'n Biden.  

Please review these relevant facts disclosed during testimony:
  1. It was felt that ARB Report organizers did not want to take interviews with anyone who may cause "ripples" in Hillary's stream …
  2. Amb. Pickering & Admiral Mullins declined numerous invitations from ad hoc committee to informally or formally discuss their ARB report 
  3. Witness testimony certainly confirms that the Accountability Review Board findings re: Benghazi were massaged for Admin purposes ... Hillary crew selected them
  4. Eric Nordstrom says, "It appears that as long as you are above Assistant Secretary level you won't be held accountable …" ...  CYA for all grades above
  5. No request made to Libya government to allow overflight during attack on Benghazi … and no knowledge of how long the attack would last … abysmal response to unknown possibility you see.
  6. Our men were not extracted from Benghazi when Chris Stevens warned of inability to defend prior 9/11 ... criminal negligence placing and leaving our diplomatic corps in harms way for wrong reasons. 
  7. Mr. Hicks says, "There were no stenographers present during interviews for ARB" … they held interview with no transcription for the record … State Department must not want a record.
  8. Testimony revealed Rapid Response Team left out of the loop…ask yourself why forces trained specifically were not integral to a response ... DOS did not know how long attack would last.
  9. Eric Nordstom testified, "A Department of State political decision was made to keep Benghazi operation ongoing even though it failed to meet minimum security."  HRC required to sign off on this. 
In turn please review these observations:
  1. Why were assets not available to protect our men in Benghazi …
  2. "Too dangerous for FBI to go to #Benghazi after the attack, but safe enough for our diplomats to be there in a below spec security standard facility" - Trey Gowdy
  3. BHO & State Dept covered up the Benghazi debacle to protect against fallout on presidential vote  Nov 6, 2012 ... Obama administration coverup was needed to shield voters from Benghazi truth.
  4. BHO spews more denial of attempt to cover up Benghazi criminal negligence during circumference of Presidential election…to mollify his base
  5. Failure to contingency plan for proper overall security & necessary emergency response was criminally negligent & Dept. of State responsibility with Hillary Clinton the head of the agency.
  6. BHO & Hillary let Chris,Sean,Ty & Glen be murdered in Benghazi and then told lies over coffins … men were sacrificed to the Obama-Clinton "Arab Spring" fiction … ideologues unwilling to admit.
  7. Sound familiar …"There's no 'there' there" -- Barack Obama in response to Benghazi question.
  8. When you pull hard on a thread of Benghazi, IRS, AP and Fast & Furious the ball of thread always terminates at BHO and his inner circle of appointed and anointed.  
Please review my initial blog in December and visit the links provided that give direct sources from DOS that explain how the whole Benghazi operation started in 2011 ... namely the MANPADS Task Force sent to Benghazi for the express purpose of setting up a weapons buyback shop ... if you take the time to review the links I provide you will find that Hillary Clinton had committed $40 Million to buyback weapons in Benghazi ... not to mention the $200 Million already spent by DOS to buyback weapons in Iraq & Afghanistan.  The link is here: <http://www.stimson.org/spotlight/assistant-secretary-shapiro-discusses-libyas-missing-weapons/>   Just watch the Andrew Shapiro vimeo link or read the transcript concerning Libya ... the address at the Stimson Center in Washington, DC took place during February of 2012 and my links are direct State Department URLs.  If you want a shortcut on vimeo listen to introduction of Andrew Shapiro at 4 minutes that establishes his relationship with Hillary Clinton, then forward to 14 minutes in for the Libya and Benghazi portions of the address.  This is important information that sets a foundation.  I make no connection at this time regarding disposition of weapons to Syria through Turkey for one reason;  Hillary and Barack Obama love to push the "Dust-in-the-Air" to cover-up what's really going on.  To me Benghazi is the one broad malfeasance that scares them the most because four American Patriots were killed unnecessarily due incompetence and criminal negligence.  If there is more to the story, and I have little doubt there is more, it will all come out in time as long as a Select Committee is seated to throttle these people to the witness table. 

In my Cliff Notes version, the whole debacle begins when Benghazi is chosen as a weapons buyback operation similar to the ones that DOS had pushed in Iraq & Afghanistan ... the big difference that Hillary did not properly consider was the fact we had battalion level troop strengths in those areas.  Remember the MANPADS Task Force members are weapons specialists from a technical standpoint.  They are supposed to have support for security.  Benghazi was an Islamic al Qaeda type "Hot Zone" that was dangerous to the core with definite anti-American intentions manifested.  Department of State sent large sums of money and weapons technicians there with sub-standard security to deal with NGO's (non-governmental organizations) & temporary Libyan forces ... neither of which had the best interests of the United States in mind.  Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's eventual desire to have Benghazi become a Permanent Constituent Post shoved her to abandon her primary duty as Secretary of State, namely protecting our Diplomats and Foreign Service members ... she pushed Ambassador Stevens into a corner in Benghazi with the necessity to be operational before the funding deadline of September 30th 2012 arrived.  She was quite possibly criminally negligent and then DOS and Obama Admin team foisted the YouTube Video Canard on Americans and entire world public doing considerable damage to the credibility of foreign service and allies alike.  To this day DOS, Hillary and Obama administration still deny, deny, deny any wrongdoing ... this is not a political witch hunt ... it is a hunt for the truth that left four brave American Patriots murdered and an entire group of State Department Service Corps members swept under the Barack Obama Administration, Hillary Clinton rug.  

More to come as new developments present themselves.

#Benghazi Update 01/10/2013 Post Senate Committee Report


Transfer of Remains Ceremony 4KIA
 

Flashing Red
Report 9/11 Benghazi






We are more than four months out from the deplorable criminal negligence of the United States Department of State and tangentially the Obama administration that directly lead to the killing of our Ambassador, Chris Stevens together with three other brave diplomatic representatives of the United States Sean Smith, Glen Doherty & Ty Woods in an attack on the 11th Anniversary of 9/11 that took place in Benghazi, Libya.  


Many facts of the Benghazi attack have been hidden from the American people since it occurred through the obfuscation, misinformation and a coordinated coverup by those in the current administration, namely Department of State representatives Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Victoria Nuland as well as President Barack Obama and his press secretary Jay Carney among others ... the list is long and the further down the list the more likely you will find a lackey.  

On December 30, 2012 the United States Senate Coommittee On Homeland Security And Government Affairs released scathing findings regarding the Benghazi Attack titled "Flashing Red: A Special Report On The Terrorist Attack At Benghazi" by Joseph I. Lieberman, Chairman and Susan M. Collins, Ranking Member.   Within this report there are 10 "Findings" quoted in part (highlights by Michael4Tune) as follows:  
  1. In the months leading up to the attack on the Temporary Mission Facility in Benghazi, there was a large amount of evidence gathered by the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) ... that Benghazi was increasingly dangerous and unstable, ... a significant attack against American personnel there was becoming much more likely.
  2. ... the U.S. government did not have specific intelligence of an imminent attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi. The lack of such actionable intelligence may reflect a failure in the IC to focus sufficiently on terrorist groups ... 
  3. The absence of specific intelligence about an imminent attack should not have prevented the Department of State from taking more effective steps to protect its personnel and facilities in Benghazi.
  4. Prior to the terrorist attacks ... it was widely understood that the Libyan government was incapable of performing its duty to protect U.S. diplomatic facilities and personnel, as required by longstanding international agreements, but the Department of State failed to take adequate steps to fill the resulting security gap ...
  5. The Benghazi facility’s temporary status had a detrimental effect on security decisions, and that fact was clearly known by DS personnel in Benghazi and to their superiors who nevertheless left the American personnel in Benghazi in this very dangerous situation. The Department of State did not take adequate measures to mitigate the facility’s significant vulnerabilities in this high-threat environment.
  6. The Department of State did not adequately support security requests from its own security personnel in Benghazi.
  7. Despite the inability of the Libyan government to fulfill its duties to secure the facility, the increasingly dangerous threat assessments, and a particularly vulnerable facility, the Department of State officials did not conclude the facility in Benghazi should be closed or temporarily shut down. That was a grievous mistake.
  8. The Department of Defense and the Department of State had not jointly assessed the availability of U.S. assets to support the Temporary Mission Facility in Benghazi in the event of a crisis and although DOD attempted to quickly mobilize its resources, it did not have assets or personnel close enough to reach Benghazi in a timely fashion.
  9. Although the September 11, 2012 attack in Benghazi was recognized as a terrorist attack by the Intelligence Community and personnel at the Department of State from the beginning, Administration officials were inconsistent in stating publicly that the deaths in Benghazi were the result of a terrorist attack.
  10. As discussed earlier, the talking points about the September 11th attack in Benghazi which were issued by the Intelligence Community on September 14th in response to a request by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, were the subject of much of the confusion and division in the discussion of the attack. That confusion and division were intensified by the fact that the talking points were issued before the IC had a high degree of confidence about what happened in Benghazi and in the midst of a national political campaign.
You can read the entire report here Flashing Red HSGAC Report
After all is said and done we still do not have anyone answering directly for this debacle.  Department of State attempted to assuage anger by what appears to be phony resignations and re-assignments within the department ... only to find that the parties involved were changing desks.  Hardly the type of result the killing of 4 American patriots should garner.  Eric Boswell and Charlene Lamb were two of the "musical desks" players.  This is our Department of State's version of "Heads will roll" ... NOT.  Very little doubt in this blogger's mind that somewhere in this mess Hillary Clinton and the ever micro-manager of foreign affairs, Barack Obama, had serious input in the creation of this SNAFU.  Somewhere along the line you may have read or heard that Republicans "slashed" the security budget for Department of State ... well the fact is the DoS requested $2.1 Billion and Congress approved $1.9 Billion and change for the 2012 year ... not exactly a pittance.  yet Slick Hilly has enough money to start a "U.S. Celebrity Chefs World Tour" initiative ... now there is a worthy endeavor for our Department of State to sink its teeth into.  

So here we are four months after the attack and Slick Hilly along with BHO have prevaricated their way 'round the Benghazi tragedy, including Hillary telling Ty Woods father at the Transfer of Remains Ceremony, "We are going to get that YouTube Video creator ..." and BHO telling the United Nations about the YouTube causality ... all such deliberate coverup actions ... they should be ashamed either for their continuing coverup or just plain incompetence for not knowing what was really happening.
American Citizens should call for a Special Select House Committee to bring the real operators in this malfeasance to justice.  I know one thing ... Richard Nixon was impeached for aiding the coverup of a fifth rate burglary that was political in the nature of intent ... Nixon should have been impeached ... he was not a nice man and neurotic if you listen to Henry Kissinger.  That being said, we have experienced four American patriots murdered senselessly ... it should have been avoided.  One of the men was our Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens ... that in and of itself is an attack on America.  Our President and Secretary of State have never answered questions transparently concerning the Benghazi 9/11 Terrorist Attack and show no signs they intend to ... it is now time to compel those answers in a formal Senate Select Committee hearing from the principals. 

Keep Benghazi Alive ...

Benghazi Synopsis December 2012


Benghazi Synopsis 2011 to 01 December 2012

Important aspects of US State Department involvement in Benghazi have not been mentioned in main stream media (MSM) or otherwise in my observations. The details might be lynchpins to the sordid debacle taking place on the 11th Anniversary of 9/11 at the US Consulate and State Department Annex located in Benghazi, Libya.  These 2 sites were quite proximate, about 1 mile apart.  I direct your attention to an important Department of State record, namely, Andrew Shapiro's address given at Stimson Center, Washington, DC on Feb 2, 2012 … at the time Shapiro was Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs at U.S. Department of State … I strongly suggest you review this transcript before continuing because it provides valuable source material and you may find it here ☞ <http://www.state.gov/t/pm/rls/rm/183097.htm>.  Pay close attention to Hillary Clinton's commitment of $40 million to recover weapons in Libya and the deployment of a MANPADS Task Force to Benghazi in 2011.  With that background in place my observation and scenario takes a KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) form below.

In 2011 the U.S. State Department commits $40 million to the recovery of shoulder to air, heat seeking missiles, known as MANPADS (Man-Portable-Air-Defense-Systems) in Libya and a MANPAD Task Force is sent to set up shop in Benghazi, Libya for the purpose of buying back MANPADS and all other military grade weapons.  This Task Force would include both expert military and civilian members who would work both independently as well as with NGO (Non Governmental Organizations) and the TNC (Transitional National Council-Libya) in an around Benghazi to recover weapons.  As the dollars for arms project becomes known in Benghazi, militant AQ (al-Qaeda) type jihadists suspect the presence of huge sums of cash and weapons in the annex as well as consulate (which is merely a house without fortification and out buildings) ... both become future targets of the AQ  type jihadist plans. Some will say our Department of State kept security deliberately low to hide the real reason we were there ... negative ... the weapon buy-back op by its very nature demanded NGO, TNC and local knowledge of operation. Those islamic terrorists planned and chose to attack the consulate and annex on the 11th Anniversary of 9/11 to achieve three things; secure cash, secure weapons and drive the infidels out of Benghazi. There was no connection to unknown and unseen YouTube short … more on that Department of State/Obama minion fantasy later.

Months prior to the attack on 9/11 Ambassador Chris Stevens began sending a series of missives to U.S. Department of State outlining deteriorating security conditions, with AQ flags flying in multiple locations across Benghazi as well as bombings at British Embassy and Red Cross HQ.  England shuttered their embassy and left Benghazi in summer 2012 and so did the Red Cross.  Given the facts that a U.S. MANPADS Task Force had been securing weapons for cash in one of the most volatile terrorist zones in the world for many months and our consulate and annex locations were "sitting ducks", the Obama appointed U.S. Department of State officials chose to cut back security at those locations in late summer 2012.  Those same officials, whether joined by CIA operatives or not, in a direct dereliction of duty, failed to perform one of two prudent actions, namely,  extract our men in Benghazi or order superior force on hand and ready to protect our men in Benghazi in the event of an attack. The assets necessary to protect were available in Sigonella NAS Italy ... with fast movers an hour flight time away with ready alert orders or in the region already with planned overlapping surveillance missions  … don't mention cost … birds fly daily.
  
Once the attack is underway on 9/11 those same U.S. Department of State Officials, who were in contact directly at or with the White House staff, in response to our men fighting to the death in Benghazi requesting support in a battle that took 11 hours ... told those men "Wait".  Keep in mind, when alert sent from Benghazi, U.S. Army Africa Command (AFRICOM) would have immediately notified watch desk at White House of Ambassador in peril ... the watch desk command would then relay to highest command present for notification to POTUS.  The White House knew what was happening without doubt.  While mortars were raining and even targeted by our laser designators … those taking fire were told, "Wait".  The response "Wait" was mentioned by Congressman Rogers (MI) from subsequent records he saw in Intelligence Committee.  You have heard a good percentage of the debacle from this point on I would surmise.  Amb. Chris Stevens is near death at the consulate and later dies, Sean Smith also killed ... Ty Woods and Glen Doherty fight valiantly however fatally wounded in mortar attacks at annex where support was requested urgently, often ... yet denied.

There was no plan in place to extract or protect our men in Benghazi and that is the cornerstone of the ensuing debacle.  Subsequently, to protect from backlash and criticism for this failure, President Obama's various cabinet members and staffs … that could include U.S. Department of State officials, White House, CIA and possibly even campaign ... pivot from the real facts known about Benghazi and use a barely known YouTube short that had been cobbled from an almost unseen failed film made in early 2011 to use as their canard … and use it they did from TV to United Nations by POTUS two weeks post attack.  Actually the widest release of the YouTube video short was from Obama staff cobbling their own video apology by BHO & Hillary Clinton then purchasing ad space on Pakistan TV and social media.  By that act Obama minions made certain the video had some exposure..  Everything was done to disinform, obfuscate and divert attention from Obama StateDept failure to extract or protect our men in Benghazi.  This coverup was all done to protect the posterior of the one who had the most to lose … Barack Hussein Obama in the 2012 Presidential election less than 60 days away.  Disrespectfully the very next morning Obama boarded Air Force 1 destined for Las Vegas and a fund raising event for his re-election.  President Obama finds it offensive that anyone questions his, or his minions, actions or motives.  A rather imperious attitude with 4 dead Americans and failed foreign policy.

Epilogue: Through all the cover-up with Susan Rice's performances and protestations would you not think she knew of the U.S. Department of State MANPADS Task Force sent to Benghazi in 2011 with a $40 million commitment to recover weapons?  Everybody in State, CIA, and of course President Obama knew of the real reasons Benghazi became a target. The despicable aspect is they were all too arrogant and carried their ideology to such an extreme they believed their philosophy would win the day.  In Benghazi the whole Obama second banana bunch performed in naive and derelict fashion  … they should answer for their failures and coverup.  We do not know if the terrorists achieved their goals of the 9/11 Benghazi attacks … did they secure MANPADS, money or weapons … unknown at this point … we do know that due the negligence of our leaders 4 brave Americans doing their duty are dead and the Benghazi operation destroyed.
