How Long Will US Supply Weapons To Syrian Rebels?
Two months ago, Rand Paul was being lambasted by most Americans for his questionto then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton regarding a load of weapons being shipped from Benghazi to Turkey where Syrian rebels could safely pick them up and use them. Ifollowed up immediately with a piece attempting to explain the significance of the question and why it was pertinent to accurately tell the story of what happened to four Americans at a CIA compound in Benghazi back in 2012. To summarize:
1. Ambassador Chris Stevens, who was killed in Benghazi, is known to have had his final meeting of the day just an hour before the attack. That meeting was with government officials from Turkey.
2. Libya had large stocks of SA-7 missiles that are no longer accounted for.
3. Syrian rebels acquired large amounts of SA-7 weapons shortly after the Benghazi attacks.
I have to admit, I have a hard time thinking that there was no connection here. It seems to be pretty obvious. What that story did not implicitly tell you was that the Syrian rebels are Al-Qaeda members and those weapons from Libya were the same weapons used in Syria by the rebels. Which begs a very obvious question from my astute readers: Why would Al-Qaeda rebels attack a Benghazi compound (the Western media narrative) when the people in the compound are trying to get weapons to aid their cause? In short, they wouldn’t. morehere
