Re: Benghazi emails suggest White House aide involved in prepping Rice for ‘video’ ex
Amb. Stevens was in Benghazi for reasons unrelated to anything any other agency was doing. We kept our consulate open after others had left because that's what we do. I myself was in the US Embassy in Monrovia during Round One of the Liberian Civil War (1990-91) when we were the only embassy left in town. That happens regularly. Stevens' refusal of extra security had everything to do with his confidence and nothing to do with anything else. Of course we were involved in Benghazi, but personnel at the annex had no (zero, nada, zip) responsibility for security at the Consulate. When they reacted on the night of the attack they reacted as Americans helping other Americans, nothing more.eace
LOL It was the CIA's failure to uncover the plot, it was their "operation" that was keeping that consulate open when other countries had withdraw to Tripoli and their advice that caused Stevens to refuse extra security TWICE. The were heavily involved in Benghazi and it was not "ad hoc". You are just discounting it because it doesn't incriminate the Whitehouse just like the House investigation/witch hunt. That's also why we will never know the real story.
