According to documents released Monday, Hillary Clinton (as well as other top federal officials) received a striking amount of intel within hours of the Benghazi attacks. The memos, which were obtained via a Judicial Watch FOIA lawsuit, indicate that President Obama and then Secretary of State Clinton were informed that the attacks had been planned "at least 10 days in advance" and were designed to "kill as many Americans as possible."A Defense Department document from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), dated September 12, 2012, the day after the Benghazi attack, details that the attack on the compound had been carefully planned by the BOCAR terrorist group “to kill as many Americans as possible.” The document was sent to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Obama White House National Security Council. The heavily redacted Defense Department “information report” says that the attack on the Benghazi facility “was planned and executed by The Brigades of the Captive Omar Abdul Rahman (BCOAR).” The group subscribes to “AQ ideologies:” The attack was planned ten or more days prior on approximately 01 September 2012. The intention was to attack the consulate and to kill as many Americans as possible to seek revenge for U.S. killing of Aboyahiye ((ALALIBY)) in Pakistan and in memorial of the 11 September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center buildings. “A violent radical,” the DIA report says, is “the leader of BCOAR is Abdul Baset ((AZUZ)), AZUZ was sent by ((ZAWARI)) to set up Al Qaeda (AQ) bases in Libya.” The group’s headquarters was set up with the approval of a “member of the Muslim brother hood movement…where they have large caches of weapons. Some of these caches are disguised by feeding troughs for livestock. They have SA-7 and SA-23/4 MANPADS…they train almost every day focusing on religious lessons and scriptures including three lessons a day of jihadist ideology.”Despite this, Obama and Clinton spent a couple of weeks blaming the deaths of four Americans on a "spontaneous uprising" sparked by a Youtube video. You may recall that Hillary attended a memorial for fallen Seal Tyrone Woods, and - in a moment of astonishing hubris - informed Woods' father that she and the President would “arrest and prosecute” the man responsible for the film. ...All while they were, apparently, well aware that the video was in no way the cause of the attack. The new documents also show that weapons were being shipped from the Port of Benghazi to Syrian rebels in the wake of Obama-caused instability in Libya. This has been rumored for ages, but there has been no official confirmation until now.
Weapons from the former Libya military stockpiles were shipped from the port of Benghazi, Libya to the Port of Banias and the Port of Borj Islam, Syria. The weapons shipped during late-August 2012 were Sniper rifles, RPG’s, and 125 mm and 155mm howitzers missiles. During the immediate aftermath of, and following the uncertainty caused by, the downfall of the ((Qaddafi)) regime in October 2011 and up until early September of 2012, weapons from the former Libya military stockpiles located in Benghazi, Libya were shipped from the port of Benghazi, Libya to the ports of Banias and the Port of Borj Islam, Syria. The Syrian ports were chosen due to the small amount of cargo traffic transiting these two ports. The ships used to transport the weapons were medium-sized and able to hold 10 or less shipping containers of cargo.The memos do not indicate who was behind the shipments. Forget the email servers, forget the Clinton Foundation, and forget the accusations of influence pedaling. The fact that - knowing all of the above - Obama and Hillary had the audacity to blame a trashy, low-budget, YouTube clip for the Benghazi attacks (as well as the riots at our embassy in Cairo) should render both of them forever inelligible to hold any sort of public office. No wonder she refuses to answer any questions.
