Weapons Sent to Libyan Rebels With U.S. Approval Fell Into Islamist HandsBy JAMES RISEN, MARK MAZZETTI and MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT, Published: December 5, 2012 WASHINGTON - The Obama administration secretly gave its blessing to arms shipments to Libyan rebels from Qatar last year, but American officials later grew alarmed as evidence grew that Qatar was turning some of the weapons over to Islamic militants, according to United States officials and foreign diplomats. No evidence has emerged linking the weapons provided by the Qataris during the uprising against Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi to the attack that killed four Americans at the United States diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, in September. www.nytimes.com/2012/12/06/world/africa/weapons-sent-to-libyan-rebels-with-us-approval-fell-into-islamist-hands.html?hp&_r=0

My tin foil may need adjusting a bit but this is my thoughts on the unfolding. Bengazi was a distribution point for weapons (to Turkey ) Serious weaponry. Now we need to send Patriot missile defense system to protect Turkey, From weapons we (supposedly) furnished them with(?) Although I don't think the US gov has admitted to arming rebels, the rebels seem to have them anyway? It is my belief that Bengazi was a covert arms sale or mission to regain the weapons previously disseminated. Seems to me that war is a big business, sell arms, and sell more to defend against them. I am prolly all wet in this thinking but seems to me (with my OLD math) 2+2 is still 4 Please explain if I am wrong in my thinking. I am still a little teachable. www.debka.com/article/22586/US-Sarin-bombs-ready-for-Assad%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%9Cgo%E2%80%9D-order-Israel-s-odd-silence

From Randy Dye BREAKING…’Fast And Furious’ Gun Found At Site Where Mexican Beauty Queen Killed… A Mexican police officer works next to a pickup with the body of a policewoman, in the Mozimba neigborhood of Acapulco, Guerrero state, Mexico on Aug. 17, 2012. (credit: Pedro PARDO/AFP/Getty Images) WASHINGTON (CBSDC) – A gun found at the scene of a shootout between a Mexican drug cartel and soldiers where a beauty queen died was part of the botched “Fast and Furious” operation, CBS News reports. Authorities had said that Maria Susana Flores Gamez was likely used as a human shield and that an automatic rifle had been found near her body after the Nov. 23 shootout. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, tells CBS News that the Justice Department did not notify Congress that a Fast and Furious firearm was found at the scene in Sinaloa. CBS News learned the Romanian AK-47-type WASR-10 rifle found near her body was purchased by Uriel Patino at an Arizona gun shop in 2010. Patino is a suspect who allegedly purchased 700 guns while under the ATF’s watch. The “Fast and Furious” operation was launched in 2009 to catch trafficking kingpins, but agents lost track of about 1,400 of the more than 2,000 weapons involved. Authorities say the ring was believed to have supplied the Sinaloa cartel with guns. Mexico’s drug cartels often seek out guns in the U.S. because gun laws in Mexico are more restrictive than in the U.S. Some guns purchased by the ring were later found at crime scenes in Mexico and the United States. The operation came to light after Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed in December 2010 by marijuana smugglers who used guns from the “Fast and Furious” operation. Federal authorities who conducted the operations have faced tough criticism for allowing suspected straw gun buyers for a smuggling ring to walk away from gun shops in Arizona with weapons, rather than arrest them and seize the guns. Several Republicans have called for the resignation of Attorney General Eric Holder due to the botched operation. randysrightiii.wordpress.com/2012/12/18/breaking-fast-and-furious-gun-found-at-site-where-mexican-beauty-queen-killed/

From everything I can see,or not see, Bengazi has been forgotten. What a damn shame. Now we are on to gun control. They are manipulating a very well run offense by keeping the people/sheeple on the defense. We are screwed! Next up?

Libyan Gun Control Policies Left Guards Unarmed at U.S. Compound in BenghaziBy Terence P. Jeffrey, January 9, 2013 (CNSNews.com) - The gun control policies of the post-Gaddafi government in Libya delayed the arming of bodyguards for U.S. diplomats in that country and left the local guard force hired to watch over the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi unarmed, according to internal State Department memos and written testimony by the State Department officer who was in charge of the department’s security in Libya until six weeks before the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attacks. cnsnews.com/news/article/libyan-gun-control-policies-left-guards-unarmed-us-compound-benghazi

Rand Paul Makes It Clear: 'I Really Think' The Admin May Have Had a 'Gun-Running Operation' in LibyaFeb. 7, 2013 2:18pm Tiffany Gabbay Few Democratic or Republican leaders have been as outspoken in their views on the Benghazi debacle and the administration's role in a potential gun-running scheme than Sen. Rand Paul. In fact, the Kentucky Republican excoriated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during her recent testimony on the matter, saying that if he had been president at the time, he would have "relieved" her of her post. Since then, the senator has been consistently pressing the administration for answers on whether it had been running guns through Libya, thereby catalyzing the death of Ambassador Stevens. www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/02/07/rand-paul-makes-it-clear-i-really-think-the-admin-may-have-had-a-gun-running-operation-in-libya/

Where Are the Benghazi Survivors?March 18, 2013 By Arnold Ahlert Where are the survivors? The unseemly efforts undertaken by the Obama administration, Democratic collaborators and a calculatingly uninterested mainstream media to avoid answering one of the fundamental questions of the Benghazi debacle will no longer suffice. Republicans in both the House and the Senate have made it clear they have run out of patience with the administration's effort to keep the survivors isolated. If they are successful, this scandal may finally get the kind of national attention it so richly deserves. frontpagemag.com/2013/arnold-ahlert/where-are-the-benghazi-survivors/

House investigators talking to new Benghazi whistleblowersBy Sharyl Attkisson, CBS News, April 17, 2013, 3:28 PM CBS News has learned that multiple new whistleblowers are privately speaking to investigators with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee regarding the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attacks on the U.S. compounds in Benghazi, Libya. The nature of the communications with the whistleblowers and their identities are not being made public at this time. But in response, the Oversight Committee yesterday sent letters to the three federal agencies involved: the CIA, the Defense Department and the State Department. www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57580105/house-investigators-talking-to-new-benghazi-whistleblowers/?tag=socsh

So there is a warrant out for her arrest in the killing of four Americans, including a diplomat and the on going cover up of the incident?... Oh that's right we are talking about Republicans leading the "investigation". GOP Benghazi report blames ClintonBy Julian Pecquet - 04/23/13 04:04 PM ET Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Tuesday unveiled a report on last's year attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that blames then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for lapses in security. thehill.com/blogs/global-affairs/terrorism/295611-boehner-unveils-benghazi-report-that-blames-hillary-clinton-for-security-lapses-#ixzz2RJuUIfOA "With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest, or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans? What difference, at this point, does it make?"- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

Benghazi report: Trinkets of treasonBy Doug Hagmann, Thursday, April 25, 2013 We are witnessing one of the biggest government cover-ups since Watergate. A cover-up that involves murder, arms trafficking, and lies by high ranking officials under oath. It involves the murderous attacks in Benghazi, and congressional investigators just released a 46-page interim progress report that at least exposes Hillary Rodham Clinton and the White House lying under oath. Where's the accountability? Where's the outrage? Where's the media? canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/54740

There is that word again. If it does not pertain to money the word accountability is superseded by the words "Done in performance of my Official duties" which is protected by Presidential EO. Originally the part in the Constitution where it was unlawful to arrest a Congressman/woman enroute to of from a session only meant that. Today it is said to prevent them from arrest for any action as a result of their duties. No matter how slim the connection. Thus they are first removed from office then arrested. Good for them since when removed they are voted a pardon by their peers.

Completely laughable response... and without any form of hard follow up from the State sponsored "Press". Obama Denies Knowledge of State Department Blocking Benghazi Testimony
April 30, 2013, By Fred Lucas
(CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obama denied any knowledge of State Department employees being prohibited from testifying on the Benghazi terrorist attack that killed four Americans last September, but said he would find out.
cnsnews.com/news/article/obama-denies-knowledge-state-department-blocking-benghazi-testimony They wish no one would remember... and if they do it's back to begging, and cajoling, and threatening. Carney: 'Benghazi Happened a Long Time Ago'
1:59 PM, May 1, 2013, By DANIEL HALPER White House spokesman Jay Carney said in response to a question about the September 11, 2012 Benghazi terror attack that it "happened a long time ago."
