If the CIA originated this there would have been ample security with contingency plans in place. This Obama scheme reeked of incompetence and was typical of his administration. I pray that this cancer to America passes quickly and we can restore the U.S. to some facsimile of it's former self. Also, that Israel and the U.S. can strengthen their ties again.

There was no need to set up a hostage situation.<br /><br />(B) There was no real security at the Benghazi consulate. So a kidnapping attempt would not have had to involve heavy weapons like RPGs and mortars. In fact Stevens could have been grabbed any number of times outside the consulate with ease. It's been done before.<br /><br />The use of mortars,which take time to sight in and training to use effectively also weighs against a simple kidnap attempt. Mortars are heavy anti-personnel weapons and aren't what you'd use to take hostages.<br /><br />(c)The mutilation of the body was a classic and well known message in Arab culture.It would not have happened if Stevens was not an envoy representing an enemy who was involved in negotiating something.<br /><br />BTW, I don't think this was a CIA operation, but something the Obama Administration was doing on its own.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Rob<br /><br />Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332213651195340500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-21478872165834895252013-06-03T09:01:18.839-07:002013-06-03T09:01:18.839-07:00From the beginning of this whole debacle, I've...From the beginning of this whole debacle, I've been wondering *why* a U.S. ambassador (especially one belonging to a vaunted minority-- Amb. Stevens was an enrolled Chinook Indian) was hung out to dry like this. Perhaps two things were going on-- I've heard both from various sources. Not only might there have been a CIA gunrunning or collection operation as posited here, but there are also some indications that this may have been an attempt to have the ambassador become a hostage to be exchanged for the one-armed cleric we have locked away here in the U.S. The more research I do, the more plausible both seem. Did Stevens know he was being set up? The cables do not show that he was aware of either of these possibilities. There have been some attempts to blame Stevens for being in Benghazi that day from 'official' sources (ie, he had trysts in Benghazi and would often go "off radar" there). Given the tone of the cables again, I do not think that is a viable line of intelligence. This whole event is simply outrageous and inexcusable. And worse, the people *in charge* do not seem to even care they got four Americans KILLED. dahozhonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-42570947103659579542013-06-01T22:03:43.824-07:002013-06-01T22:03:43.824-07:00Like YouTube said, the account was terminated.
