Roger L Simon @PJMedia has a column out which essentially predicts a new set of whistleblowers who will soon present to congress.

[…] According to the diplomats, what these whistleblowers will say will be at least as explosive as what we have already learned about the scandal, including details about what really transpired in Benghazi that are potentially devastating to both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

The former diplomats inform PJM the new revelations concentrate in two areas — what Ambassador Chris Stevens was actually doing in Benghazi and the pressure put on General Carter Ham, then in command of U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) and therefore responsible for Libya, not to act to protect jeopardized U.S. personnel.

Stevens’ mission in Benghazi, they will say, was to buy back Stinger missiles from al-Qaeda groups issued to them by the State Department, not by the CIA. Such a mission would usually be a CIA effort, but the intelligence agency had opposed the idea because of the high risk involved in arming “insurgents” with powerful weapons that endanger civilian aircraft.

Hillary Clinton still wanted to proceed because, in part, as one of the diplomats said, she wanted “to overthrow Gaddafi on the cheap.”  (link)

What is interesting is the affirmation of what we have shared from the VERY BEGINNING.

The State Dept. (Stevens) was buying back Surface to Air Missiles, from the Libyan “Rebels”, who were actually al-Qaeda.   The CIA was a logistics facilitating co-agency supporting the efforts of the State Dept. but the CIA did not fully support the larger goal.  Nor should they.

What the article does not outline is what also we have previously shared which connects the dots.  

The Libyan missiles were in the process of being re-directed from Benghazi al-Qaeda into the hands of Syrian Rebels using Turkey as the middle-men to keep the Obama’s fingerprints off the transportation and delivery.

That’s why the Turkish delegation was at the U.S. Benghazi compound that night meeting with Ambassador Stevens.   The Turks were able to leave the neighborhood, around 9:00-9:15pm shortly before the attack commenced at 9:40pm.

AFRICOM Commander, General Carter Hamm, was stuck betwixt a rocket and a hard place.   Already the Afghanistan and Iraq U.S. forces had lost their close-air-support due to the risk from the Libyan SAAM’s which had already made their way into those specific areas of combat operations.

The CIA/DoD were not big fans of giving the Libyan “Rebels” the shoulder fired missile capacity from the outset.    The CIA out of fear of passenger aircraft being targeted, and the DoD because they rightly knew the missiles would eventually be used against our troops in other areas.     Looking at what happened in Afghanistan, Iraq, they were right.

After the Benghazi assassination of Stevens the realized fears of both CIA and DoD became a risk to both Hillary Clinton and President Obama.   [Both Obama and Clinton were sympatico on arming the rebels – they made it happen].

The risk to both Obama and Clinton was from the CIA and DoD being questioned, and/or revealing on their own what was going on, and why they did not like the plan from the outset.   (*note*  That risk actually still exists today)

How would it look if General Carter Hamm and General Petraeus were saying openly, publically, they did not like the original idea?…..   Against the backdrop of a dead U.S. Ambassador, who was trying to buy back weapons we gave the bad guys, against the advice and warnings of both CIA and Military DoD ?

Political “Yikes”!

Even without the election, which just amplified the inner circle election fear exponentially, the entire construct of the Obama/Clinton Responsibility to Protect (R2P) Doctrine was openly, and potentially, about to be hung around their neck.

[Remember it was Samantha Power (wife of Cass Sunstein), Susan Rice, and eventually Hillary Clinton who convinced Obama to ignore the advice of his Office of Legal Council, send troops to Libya without congressional approval, and then ultimately ARM the rebels with the same weapons we were now trying to: a) take back, and b) divert to the next insufferable folly called Syria.]

Why was Susan Rice specifically selected to take those heavily manipulated talking points?   I just told you in the prior paragraph.   This Libyan Quagmire was her baby too – she was instrumental in it.

If the potential existed for Hillary/Obama to take a fatal career hit, it makes sense they would pull in the ideological co-dependent enablers with them.  Everyone needed to have skin in the game, and self-preservation by all would mean a greater likelihood of covering success for both Hillary and POTUS.

Samantha Power bailed out.  Lucky for her and Cass the pregnancy and child-birth gave her an out.     He ran along beside her vacating his regulatory position in the world of Obama Czars.

DoD risk?   General Ham was just dispatched by the civilian command and fired/replaced.

CIA risk?  General Petraeus was dispatched in a more Machiavellian maneuver.   After all the Eric Holder DOJ through the FBI had been building the ‘just-in-case’ file for quite a while (all summer).

So pulling the trigger on that embarrassment was a no-brainer.
