From Front Page Mag: Over the weekend, the newest, and by far the most disturbing,
revelations surrounding the Benghazi attack were revealed. Several
sources have pointed to the possibility that a major CIA gun-running
operation aimed at arming anti-Assad Al-Qaeda-affiliated forces was in
danger of being exposed. If true, the information casts an even more
devastating pall over the Benghazi terrorist attack and the
administration’s botched handling of the region.
The decision to stand down as the Benghazi terrorist attack was underway was met with extreme opposition from the inside. The Washington Times‘s James Robbins, citing a
source inside the military, reveals that General Carter Ham, commander
of U.S. Africa Command, who got the same emails requesting help received
by the White House, put a rapid response team together and notified the
Pentagon it was ready to go. He was ordered to stay put. “His response
was to screw it, he was going to help anyhow,” writes Robbins. “Within
30 seconds to a minute after making the move to respond, his second in
command apprehended General Ham and told him that he was now relieved of
his command.”
If true, Ham has apparently decided he wants no part of
the responsibility for the decision not to help those in harm’s way. He
is not alone. As the Weekly Standard‘s Bill Kristol revealed
late Friday, a spokesperson, “presumably at the direction of CIA
director David Petraeus,” released the following statement: ”No one at
any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to
the contrary are simply inaccurate.”
Obama himself is stonewalling. During a Friday interview in Denver, the president revealed he was determined to
postpone any revelation about Benghazi until after the election. “The
election has nothing to do with four brave Americans getting killed and
us wanting to find out exactly what happened,” said Obama in answer to
questions about possible denials of aid, and whether it’s fair that
Americans will have to wait until after the election to find out the
results of an investigation. On Saturday, Obama upped the ante,
telling ”Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough that “if we find out there
was a big breakdown and somebody didn’t do their job, they’ll be held
accountable. Ultimately as Commander-in-Chief I am responsible and I
don’t shy away from that responsibility.”
Several sources have come up with explosive answers accounting for the administration’s reticence.
According to
WND’s Aaron Klein, “Egyptian security officials” revealed that
Ambassador Christopher Stevens “played a central role in recruiting
jihadists to fight Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria.” Stevens was
reportedly a key contact for Saudi Arabian officials, who wanted to
recruit fighters from North Africa and Libya, and send them to Syria by
way of Turkey. The recruits were ostensibly screened by U.S. security
organizations, and anyone thought to have engaged in fighting against
Americans, including those who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, were not
sent to engage Assad’s regime. http://frontpagemag.com/2012/arnold-ahlert/arming-jihadists-backfires-in-benghazi/
If, by chance, Obama is re-elected, I can see an impeachment coming our way.
