Who did tell the military special forces not to help those under attack in Benghazi? And why? It seems to me that at least the first question should have been answered by now.There are phone records and email records that should paint a fairly clear picture of who said what.<\/p>\n<p>I heard a theory today that totally unnerved me. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2012\/10\/15\/world\/middleeast\/jihadists-receiving-most-arms-sent-to-syrian-rebels.html?hp&amp;_r=2&amp;\">New York Times<\/a> reported recently that the Obama Administration was selling weapons to the rebels in <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Syria\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?ll=33.5,36.3&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=33.5,36.3 (Syria)&amp;t=h\" rel=\"geolocation\" target=\"_blank\">Syria<\/a>, despite the fact that these rebels have close connections to <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Al-Qaeda\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Al-Qaeda\" rel=\"wikipedia\" target=\"_blank\">Al Qaeda<\/a>. It also should be noted that <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Libya\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?ll=32.8666666667,13.1833333333&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=32.8666666667,13.1833333333 (Libya)&amp;t=h\" rel=\"geolocation\" target=\"_blank\">Libya<\/a> has supplied a major portion of the Al Qaeda soldiers we have been fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. What if the Ambassador (who was a good man who had a heart for the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Arab people\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Arab_people\" rel=\"wikipedia\" target=\"_blank\">Arab people<\/a>) was about to blow the whistle on our gun running activities in the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Middle East\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Middle_East\" rel=\"wikipedia\" target=\"_blank\">Middle East<\/a>? Would that have been a reason not to send help? As I said, that is just someone&#8217;s theory, but can someone come up with a better explanation as to why help never came?<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: none; float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=0943f28d-c366-43ce-9f43-6678da7ae99b\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday the Weekly Standard reported: Breaking news on Benghazi: the CIA spokesman, presumably at the direction of CIA director David Petraeus, has put out this statement: &#8220;No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/?p=16113\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[257,3947,659,4260,153,245,34,91],"class_list":["post-16113","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-al-qaeda","tag-benghazi","tag-central-intelligence-agency","tag-david-petraeus","tag-libya","tag-middle-east","tag-new-york-times","tag-syria"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16113"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16113\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16115,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16113\/revisions\/16115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16113"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
