Benghazi: Hillary Clinton’s Consulate to the Jihadists



Want proof that the Obama administration is pulling out all the stops to help with the rise of Islamic jihad in the Middle East? Then look no further than Benghazi. While the lion's share of the attention has been focused on security failures leading up to and following the terrorist attacks on the anniversary of 9/11, the potentially bigger scandal for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is what was a diplomatic facility doing in middle of jihadist country in the first place?
Benghazi has been a hotbed of Islamic extremism (or otherwise known in the Middle East as Islam) ever since the execution of former Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi. The location in eastern Libya also offers a clue as to the purpose of the consulate and adjoining CIA annex namely, if you're not there to talk to the jihadists, then you're in the wrong place. You don't set up shop in al-Qaeda's backyard unless you're looking to do business with terrorists, and that is exactly what Clinton was doing. According to the House GOP Interim Progress Report, the Benghazi diplomatic facility relied on the February 17 Martyrs Brigade for security and as a "quick reaction force" for the State Department in the city. What is the February 17 Martyrs Brigade you ask? According to Wikipedia, which doesn't' exactly require Top Secret clearance to access, they fly "the al-Qaeda flag on their Facebook page, and have been al-Qaeda sympathizers for a very long time."

Pretty much any jerk with a computer and internet access could figure out the February 17 Martyrs Brigade is linked to terrorists, and yet Clinton put the lives of dozens of Americans in their blood soaked hands. Is it really so surprising that it all ended in tears? No wonder the consulate was twice denied military support the night of the attacks--Clinton couldn't be sure that any counter attack wouldn't target her jihadist partners in the region. The next clue as to what Clinton was up to in Benghazi was the meeting between Ambassador Chris Stevens and Turkish Consul General Ali Sait Akin minutes before the assault. Of all the places in the world to hold a high level meeting between diplomats of allied nations, why Benghazi? Was the U.S. embassy in Istanbul closed for renovations? I guess the answer would depend on who else was present at the meeting. Another interesting tidbit on the February 17 Martyrs Brigade's Wikipedia page is "some of its members are also believed to be fighting the Assad regime in Syria." There have been numerous, though as yet unconfirmed reports in the media that the Benghazi facility was used to facilitate the transfer of arms to jihadist rebels in Syria. While that is likely the case, I find it hard to believe that Syria was the only purpose for maintaining an American presence in eastern Libya. All over Africa and the Middle East Islamists are on the move. Emboldened by the Muslim Brotherhood's success in Egypt, jihadists are looking to further their ambition to establish an Islamic caliphate stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to China. What is needed is not only an investigation of the Benghazi tragedy, but a comprehensive review of the Obama administration's strategy in the Middle East. After all, if Obama and Clinton are so brazen as to allow four Americans die in order to cover up their involvement with jihadists in Syria and Libya, then what other crimes have they committed to help promote global Islamic jihad?
