He and Ambassador Stevens, as well as the two other special operators from Wind Zero, were executing a CIA and State Department mission to track not only Qaddafi’s weapons, but to trace any and all weapons trafficking in the regions. Smith was the information officer at the Benghazi mission and likely was too close to having uncovered intelligence that pinpointed key players both in and outside of Libya. Intelligence was shared with the CIA, which does enforce the drone program, whether inside Libya, stemming from the mission to remove Qaddafi, or in other hot-spots in the Middle East.

The Soviet occupation in Afghanistan was a long and stalwart war to install a subset of an overall communist footprint in the region. Military and ideological defeat were predictable and the CIA aided in the quest against the Soviets. Part of the original objective of the United States (credited to Zbigniew Brzezinski and adopted by Presidents Carter and Reagan) was to arm key factions to fend off the Soviets.
This was successful. But, as the full retreat by the Soviets was underway, al Qaeda and the Taliban were soon in full possession of weapons that the United States had provided over the years to the anti-Soviet opposition. And the greater part of weapons inventories were Soviet, including even tanks, amidst quite a full array of conventional weapons left behind in their hasty exit. The Afghanis being resourceful took full advantage and learned to repair, rebuild and clone weapons and ammunition, both.
This would soon become a major threat to the West. The cure was to dial up big dollars and go on a buy-back mission to get the weapons out of the hands of militants. Everyone in the nation was armed with virtual immunity; no checks and balances of force existed. Mutual failures to contain were nearly locked in. So, at least by the time of the Clinton administration, the U.S. had begun attempts at a buy-back program, to regain weapons sent to Afghanistan.
Looking over to Libya, Qaddafi during his reign, set on a quest to obtain his own arsenal. It came to include not only millions of weapons, from small arms and rocket propelled grenades, to Russian shoulder fired SA-24 missiles; it also carried a nuclear ambition. Foreign leaders pressed Qaddafi only on the nuclear ambition and there he capitulated, but all other weapons including the MANPADS among its surface to air missiles arsenal, was left out of the process and the arrangements made with him.
Last year, as the mission was underway to remove Qaddafi from power, a great deal of confusion set in and all armories were raided by unique militias across Libya. All weapons were stolen and taken to destinations unknown. Qaddafi had spent an estimated $30 billion in the span of twenty-five years, on conventional weapons from the USSR and China, via Algeria and even Belarus. Included in this stout purchasing campaign were planes and communications equipment.

Collateral damage from unintended consequences. Short-sighted men continue to destabilize our earth with their arrogant bleats which in turn endangers us all and imperils the whole human race. Remove these narcissistic tyrants from among peaceful people.
B.S. IT was Israeli Moussad to lure U.S. into wider conflict in coming months and False Flag wars.
Not true. Libya still supports Gadaffi to the tune of 90% and their troops are fighting a guerrilla war. A heavily documented article at Global Research proves this. This blaming al-Cia-Duh is more boogey man nonsense.
Possible scenario,but a white man in the middle east in 2012?Even the mainstream media should just admit that it was bound to happen sooner or later!Was anyone really shocked that this happened?Ron Paul was right,get out,cut off foreign aid,and send a get well soon card when appropriate.Most of all,mind our own business.This problem would not even exist if we did not create it.
2 years ago the people in Libya had schools, hospitals and $50,000 handed to them when they got married.
Today they have nothing apart from gangs on the streets and checkpoints.
Thats some democracy you are spreading uncle sam and now you are trying the same plan in Syria and wonder why both Russia and China said no.
Zionist bankers in the USA are above the law and they want to take you to war, a war you cannot win which is part of the plan now so many americans are at pension age and are seen as useless eaters by these nice people from Israel
