It was the summer of 2012. The British abandoned Benghazi. They determined the city was too dangerous. On June 11th, 2012, the British Ambassador’s motorcade was attacked by rocket propelled grenades. Two of his security guards were wounded. This was one of 48 separate security incidents in Benghazi. The British left their weapons and vehicles in the custody of the U.S. consulate. In October 2012, it was determined all the weapons left there, went missing. -McClatchydc.com. 10/12/12.
Security at the consulate the day of the attack, 9/11/12, Ambassador Stevens had just 2 security officers. The rest of any security detail was outsourced to the Libyans. The State Dept., over internal objections, hired an obscure private firm for security, Blue Mountain Group. Blue Mountain “used local newspaper ads to assemble a team of 20 guards, many of whom had terror ties….”the guards hired were locals, part of the Ansar al-Sharia and Al Queda groups operating in Benghazi.”-Fox news. 11/7/16.
Prior to Blue Mountain, the new Libyan government financed the February 17th Martyrs Brigade, an Islamic Militia, under a direct agreement with the State Dept.. “Despite its Islamic orientation, the militia included locals who had been carefully cultivated and trained by the U.S.. The majority of February 17th militia guards were fired without warning when Blue Mountain was hired, leading some members to turn against the Americans.”
John “Tig” Tiegen, one of the CIA contractors that responded to the 9/11/12 attack said: “local Libyans who attacked the consulate that night included guards working for Blue Mountain; the actual guards that the State Dept., under Hillary Clinton hired to protect the consulate in Benghazi.” Blue Mountain guards opened the doors of the consulate to allow the terrorists inside, then participated in the attack.-Fox news. 11/7/16.
Am email sent from the State Dept. in Tripoli to the security office in Benghazi in March 2012 said: “Just a quick note in regards to Blue Mountain. The company has lost several security contracts here in Tripoli. It’s not licensed by the Government of Libya. I would advise not to use their services to provide security for any of our annexes or offices.”- Washington Examiner. 4/1/14.
Mohammed al Zahawi, leader of Ansar al-Shariah based in Benghazi, had his associate, Wissam Bin Hamid meet with Ambassador Stevens within 48 hours prior to the attack. Bin Hamid asked Stevens, “What they needed to bring security to Benghazi.” In August 2012, the U.S. government knew Bin Hamid was a young rebel leader who fought in Iraq under the flag of Al Queda.- real clear politics. 10/22/15.
Conclusion: In 2011, Libya had more Al Queda fighters than any country in the world.-Library of Congress/ Federal research division. Al Queda had infiltrated the Libyan security force serving to “protect” Ambassador Stevens. Al Queda was “negotiating” with Ambassador Stevens about security. Ambassador Stevens was a sitting duck. There were multiple warnings within the State Dept. itself; there were multiple requests for additional security. Ambassador Stevens should not have been allowed to go to Benghazi under any circumstances whatsoever. The blame, responsibility falls directly on Sec. Clinton, no matter how much she denies knowing, no matter how much she wants to blame others, ultimately Sec. Clinton, via President Obama, are to blame. #BenghaziAintGoingAway / Done
Bravo! I’m happy to see that you called Clinton and Obama out, when you saw how inept they were! People died. They have to assume the responsibility for those deaths. Shame on them.
