We know with specific certainty the 2012 Syrian radicals, al-Qaeda – now called ISIS, were embedded within the Free Syrian Army and openly mocking the U.S. and Western Media’s inability to tell the difference.

"NO ISLAM WITHOUT JIHAD" - members of the Free Syrian Army. Abu Khuder and his men fight for al-Qaida. They call themselves the ghuraba'a, or "strangers", after a famous jihadi poem celebrating Osama bin Laden's time with his followers in the Afghan mountains, and they are one of a number of jihadi organisations establishing a foothold in the east of the country now that the conflict in Syria has stretched well into its second bloody year. They try to hide their presence. "Some people are worried about carrying the [black] flags," said Abu Khuder. "They fear America will come and fight us. So we fight in secret. Why give Bashar and the west a pretext?" But their existence is common knowledge in Mohassen. Even passers-by joke with the men about car bombs and IEDs.

Back in August of 2012 before the Benghazi attack took place it was discovered that President Obama signed a secretive “finding directive” earlier in the year allowing the CIA to transfer U.S. weapons to the Syrians.
Just like operation Zero Footprint (Libya), Saudi Arabia was again the financier and Qatar played the role of intermediary.
The destination was a secret base in Adana, South Turkey, where the weapons were assembled, the jihadists (yes, ISIS) trained, and then direct delivery to the Syrian “rebel” forces (ISIS).
It is important to revisit this reality amid the backdrop of Turkish diplomats visiting Ambassador Chris Stevens in Benghazi the following month (September 2012).
This SECOND Presidential finding -to arm Syria- not only explains the action and non action, it is also the missing piece of the Benghazi puzzle.

WASHINGTON, Aug 1 [2012] (Reuters) – President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorizing U.S. support for rebels seeking to depose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his government, U.S. sources familiar with the matter said.

Obama’s order, approved earlier this year and known as an intelligence “finding,” broadly permits the CIA and other U.S. agencies to provide support that could help the rebels oust Assad.

This and other developments signal a shift toward growing, albeit still circumscribed, support for Assad’s armed opponents – a shift that intensified following last month’s failure of the U.N. Security Council to agree on tougher sanctions against the Damascus government.

The White House is for now apparently stopping short of giving the rebels lethal weapons, even as some U.S. allies do just that.

But U.S. and European officials have said that there have been noticeable improvements in the coherence and effectiveness of Syrian rebel groups in the past few weeks. That represents a significant change in assessments of the rebels by Western officials, who previously characterized Assad’s opponents as a disorganized, almost chaotic, rabble.

Precisely when Obama signed the secret intelligence authorization, an action not previously reported, could not be determined.

The full extent of clandestine support that agencies like the CIA might be providing also is unclear.

White House spokesman Tommy Vietor declined comment.

‘NERVE CENTER’

A U.S. government source acknowledged that under provisions of the presidential finding, the United States was collaborating with a secret command center operated by Turkey and its allies.

Last week, Reuters reported that, along with Saudi Arabia and Qatar, Turkey had established a secret base near the Syrian border to help direct vital military and communications support to Assad’s opponents.

This “nerve center” is in Adana, a city in southern Turkey about 60 miles (100 km) from the Syrian border, which is also home to Incirlik, a U.S. air base where U.S. military and intelligence agencies maintain a substantial presence.

Turkey’s moderate Islamist government has been demanding Assad’s departure with growing vehemence. Turkish authorities are said by current and former U.S. government officials to be increasingly involved in providing Syrian rebels with training and possibly equipment.

European government sources said wealthy families in Saudi Arabia and Qatar were providing significant financing to the rebels. Senior officials of the Saudi and Qatari governments have publicly called for Assad’s departure.

On Tuesday, NBC News reported that the Free Syrian Army had obtained nearly two dozen surface-to-air missiles, weapons that could be used against Assad’s helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. Syrian government armed forces have employed such air power more extensively in recent days.

NBC said the shoulder-fired missiles, also known as MANPADs, had been delivered to the rebels via Turkey.

On Wednesday, however, Bassam al-Dada, a political adviser to the Free Syrian Army, denied the NBC report, telling the Arabic-language TV network Al-Arabiya that the group had “not obtained any such weapons at all.” U.S. government sources said they could not confirm the MANPADs deliveries, but could not rule them out either.

Current and former U.S. and European officials previously said that weapons supplies, which were being organized and financed by Qatar and Saudi Arabia, were largely limited to guns and a limited number of anti-tank weapons, such as bazookas.

Indications are that U.S. agencies have not been involved in providing weapons to Assad’s opponents. In order to do so, Obama would have to approve a supplement, known as a “memorandum of notification, to his initial broad intelligence finding.

Further such memoranda would have to be signed by Obama to authorize other specific clandestine operations to support Syrian rebels.

Reuters first reported last week that the White House had crafted a directive authorizing greater U.S. covert assistance to Syrian rebels. It was unclear at that time whether Obama had signed it.  (read more)

Would it blow your mind to accept the most likely sponsor of a decision to kill Chris Stevens is now Turkey ?
Think about it.
You might remember the U.N. intermediary Kofi Annan was supposed to be the peace broker in Syria, and we know he was a useful tool toward public consumption.  Kofi Annan quit trying in Syria when?  Yep, also August 2012LINK

PRESIDENT OBAMA and TURKEY’S ASSAD TEAM UP TO DELIVER SYRIA

Obama Erdogan - Turkey

(August 2012) President Barack Obama and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke by telephone Monday “to coordinate efforts to accelerate a political transition in Syria,” the White House said.

This “would include the departure of (Syrian leader) Bashar Assad and be responsive to the legitimate demands of the Syrian people,” the statement said.

Obama and Erdogan shared their concerns over the Syrian regime’s crackdown on opposition “and the deteriorating humanitarian conditions throughout Syria as a result of the regime’s atrocities.”

Both [Obama and Erodgan] promised to coordinate efforts to help the growing numbers of Syrians displaced by the violence within Syria or forced to flee over the border to take refuse in Turkey or other nations in the region.

The statement said US and Turkish teams “would remain in close contact on ways that Turkey and the United States can work together to promote a democratic transition in Syria.”  (link)

So what exactly was this “Democratic Transition“?
Let’s recap.   Obama completes a presidential finding memo which authorized the CIA to conduct a covert operation to arm the Syrians.
For “Operation Zero Footprint” (Feb/March 2011) Leon Panetta was in charge, but Petraeus took over Sept of 2011 – So Petraeus would be the one executing the Syrian covert action.
As a result of the 2012 finding memo the congressional “Intelligence Gang of Eight” would again be notified:

The Intelligence Oversight Act of 1980 mandates that the CIA “fully and currently [inform]” Congressional oversight committees of their activities including “any significant anticipated intelligence activity.”

In special cases, the Act authorized the President to brief only the majority and minority leaders of each chamber as well as the chairmen and ranking minority members of the Intelligence Committees.  The Gang of Eight.

The Gang of Eight in 2012 was:  House Speaker – John Boehner, Minority Leader – Nancy Pelosi; House Permanent Select Committee on Intel Chairman – Mike Rogers, and his Democrat counterpart Charles Ruppersberger; Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid; along with Senate Intel Chair Diane Feinstein and her Republican counterpart, Saxby Chambliss.
Saudi Arabia is the financier;  Qatar is the intermediary;  Turkey is the destination; The weapons were then given to the Syrian “Rebels”, ISIS.
The ideology of the Syrian Rebels -specifically as it was known in 2012- is acutely outlined in THIS ARTICLE.

Oh Yeah, and by the way – THIS REUTERS ARTICLE  means that we have just cold busted Hillary Clinton in a lie.

Go to the 2:20 point of this video:


The following article was published about six months before Hillary Clinton testified before congress:
