I didn't even get a smirk out of the gallery when I posted my suspicions in another thread about what the real story might be in Benghazi. But lo and behold, the American press is starting to talk about the important details that until now have been curiously absent from the lamestream media reports. To recap, I said this:
This is about exposing a coverup worse than Watergate or Iran/Contra, with some Operation: Fast and Furious thrown in for good measure.
Here is a plausible, and quite possible, overview of the puzzle and how it might look when assembled.
Ambassador Stevens was a would-be whistleblower investigating an illegal arms deal and was about to prove the Obama Administration was arming the Muslim Brotherhood/Al Queda. Stationed in Tripoli, he was only in Benghazi tracking those weapons. But you see, Al Queda was supposed to be vanquished since Obama killed Oasama (asserted premise by the admin and the press). So... the administration cut back on his security (fact), refused repeated requests to bolster security for the anniversary of 9/11 (fact), and somehow, the attackers knew where the 'safe house' was and were waiting in ambush when the Ambassador fled the Consulate during the attack (fact). He was offed, Chicago style (opinion). And that's just the highlights, folks! We had a drone flying overhead delivering a live video feed to the situation room at the White House (fact). Obama went to bed to rest up for a fundraiser the next day while the attack was happening without knowing the whereabouts or status of the Ambassador (fact), and didn't lose a minute of sleep over it (opinion). Why? Because he wanted him dead and knew he would be, and no one would trace it back to Obama if it were all a spontaneous response to a youtube video (conclusion).
Don't laugh... weigh this scenario against what you know to be true, and then what you have been told but don't know if it's true. Then ask yourself if it is possible. Consider that the State Department contradicted the POTUS and the SecState... their own bosses, and publicly declared there was no intel saying the video was even a factor, but the Admin, the press, and the SecState had all hit the airwaves with that as a coordinated cover story before the dust settled. That was pre-planned, just like the attack. Everybody at every level is now pointing fingers at everybody else. The lie started from the top down, and when they lied to cover the lie that was a cover, the people who were not in on the lie said that was a lie. Very little of what we are being told is the truth. Not the facts on the ground, not reasons given, and no one is asking the right questions. They are now liying about lying, and trying to rewrite the timeline to bury the first lie. Why? They are trying to cover up the coverup, because the reason for the first coverup is so damning that they don't care how much credibility it costs. Careers and criminal charges hang in the balance on this one and the smoke and mirrors have become the distraction. Where there is smoke, there is fire... so quit fixating on the smoke and find the cause of the fire. Even if it isn't the way I put the pieces together above, the degree of deception demands that it is that big, or bigger.
Now, Bussiness Insider has gotten hold of the shady arms deal angle, but they are leaning towards Ambassador Stevens being a facilitator for the Obama Administration. I don't discount the possibility of his intimate involvement. In fact, it makes a lot of sense. But I still think he was going to, or threatening to, expose the fact that America was arming the wrong side.
How US Ambassador Chris Stevens May Have Been Linked To Jihadist Rebels In Syria

The official position is that the US has refused to allow heavy weapons into Syria.
But there's growing evidence that U.S. agents—particularly murdered ambassador Chris Stevens—were at least aware of heavy weapons moving from Libya to jihadist Syrian rebels.
In March 2011 Stevens became the official U.S. liaison to the al-Qaeda-linked Libyan opposition, working directly with Abdelhakim Belhadj of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group—a group that has now disbanded, with some fighters reportedly participating in the attack that took Stevens' life.
In November 2011 The Telegraph reported that Belhadj, acting as head of the Tripoli Military Council, "met with Free Syrian Army [FSA] leaders in Istanbul and on the border with Turkey" in an effort by the new Libyan government to provide money and weapons to the growing insurgency in Syria.
Last month The Times of London reported that a Libyan ship "carrying the largest consignment of weapons for Syria … has docked in Turkey." The shipment reportedly weighed 400 tons and included SA-7 surface-to-air anti-craft missiles and rocket-propelled grenades.
Those heavy weapons are most likely from Muammar Gaddafi's stock of about 20,000 portable heat-seeking missiles—the bulk of them SA-7s—that the Libyan leader obtained from the former Eastern bloc. Reuters reports that Syrian rebels have been using those heavy weapons to shoot down Syrian helicopters and fighter jets.
The ship's captain was "a Libyan from Benghazi and the head of an organization called the Libyan National Council for Relief and Support," which was presumably established by the new government.
That means that Ambassador Stevens had only one person—Belhadj—between himself and the Benghazi man who brought heavy weapons to Syria.
