Here's more for you to ponder:
BenghaziGate: Obama Admin Knew Libyan Terrorists Had US-Provided Weapons
In a story that’s been largely buried by the media for years upon years – and was doubly buried in the aftermath of the Benghazi terrorist attack on September 11 resulting in the death of four Americans – the New York Times is now reporting that US-approved arms that were supposed to go to Libya rebels went to Islamist terrorists. Even more importantly, the Obama administration knew about it before, during, and after the Benghazi attacks. The Times reports:
No
evidence has emerged linking the weapons provided by the Qataris during
the uprising against Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi to the attack that killed
four Americans at the United States diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, in September.
But in the months before, the Obama
administration clearly was worried about the consequences of its hidden
hand in helping arm Libyan militants, concerns that have not previously
been reported. The weapons and money from Qatar strengthened militant
groups in Libya, allowing them to become a destabilizing force since the
fall of the Qaddafi government ….
The United States, which had only small
numbers of C.I.A. officers on the ground in Libya during the tumult of
the rebellion, provided little oversight of the arms shipments. Within
weeks of endorsing Qatar’s plan to send weapons there in spring 2011,
the White House began receiving reports that they were going to Islamic
militant groups
