A former U.S. Attorney who represents whistle-blowers with knowledge of what happened when armed militants attacked the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya last year says 400 surface-to-air missiles were 'taken from Libya' during the attack, and that the U.S. intelligence community is terrified they might be used to shoot down airliners.
Joe diGenova, whose wife Victoria Toensing – a former deputy assistant attorney general – also represents Benghazi witnesses and others with knowledge of the terror attack, told WMAL radio that the loss of those missiles is also one the reason the U.S. State Department shut down 19 embassies across the Middle East last week. 'A lot of people have come forward to share information with us,' he said during the radio station's 'Mornings On The Mall' program Monday morning.
'We have learned that one of the reasons the administration is so deeply concerned' is that 'there were 400 surface-to-air missiles stolen, and that they are ... in the hands of many people, and that the biggest fear in the U.S. intelligence community is that one of these missiles will be used to shoot down an airliner. 400 missiles, surface-to-air missiles, taken from Libya.'
Asked if the missiles are now 'in the hands of al-Qaeda operatives,' DiGenova replied, 'That is what these people are telling us.'

More and more information keeps rolling out of this so-called non-scandal, eh?

The CIA was all over the place that night, and they won't tell anyone what they were doing. Until that's answered, I see no reason to assume it wasn't they who staged the whole thing.

diGenova said Monday that he knows what that threat may have involved.
The loss of the 400 surface-to-air missiles, he told WMAL's audience, 'is why we shut down the 19 embassies recently.'
'They were afraid that there was going to be a missile attack on one of the embassies. Remember, you can take a shoulder-held missile and shoot it into an embassy. Not just into the sky.'
'That's what this was all about,' he insisted. 'That's why they're so worried. That's why they have lied repeatedly about what happened in Benghazi, because they are now responsible for all of the stepchildren of violence that happens as a result of this. This is a very serious matter.'
I would need more verification of that number, 400; but it is plainly obvious that no US consulate or embassy needs 400 missiles to protect itself. Maybe 40 at the most, so what the hell were they doing there?

Apparently, sorry, little fuzzy on the details... But part of what was going on at the embassy involved decommissioning old weapons, but that other groups could have whatever weapons for various reasons.
I don't know, but that's what I read, maybe by the same whistleblower...
Is it still outside the realm of possibility that there were that many weapons with intent to distribute them to Alquaida?
It's been in the news more and more the past few months, that the groups we are supporting that are fighting against the Syrians, at least contain a group that are allied with Alquaida.
How obvious does it have to get?
Decommissioning weapons in not the job of the State Department. It's takes expertise like the military for that.
I don't know, but maybe it was as a stopover place on the way to be destroyed or something like that...
Yeah, I'll bet. :roll: :lol: That's not how the military would be doing it. If these were live weapons all assembled, they wouldn't be anywhere near an embassy. They'd be in a secure location with armed guards.
400-missles in this semi-secure small compound? What, were they in the closet? 400-missles and no one from either the military or CIA was guarding them . . . a 400-missle size force of troops 24-hours a day, seven days a week were no where to be seen? We just stuck em in a closet and crossed our fingers they wouldn't get stolen in case we got over run? If this is true, then the State Department, CIA, Pentagon, and President were all equally incompetent.
So it must be true, huh?
Yeah, I'll bet. :roll: :lol: That's not how the military would be doing it. If these were live weapons all assembled, they wouldn't be anywhere near an embassy. They'd be in a secure location with armed guards.
Do you have any evidence to suggest that they possess competence?
But, no, it's more like evil genius level... And the fact that so far, assuming any criminality, they are getting away with it.
