On the night of Sept. 11, in what would become his last known public meeting, Stevens met with the Turkish Consul General Ali Sait Akin, and escorted him out of the consulate front gate one hour before the assault began at approximately 9:35 p.m. local time. Read more: www.foxnews.com...

Please, people on the right are already floating the theory.
And from the Washington Post'

I'm not the only one saying it. you might want to find out if it's legal because it pales the blame game you are playing now. Calling me a shill for Obama is fairly stupid as this is the kind of stuff that can get you impeached. I wouldn't be welcome as a friend in his house.
Investigative journalist Aaron Klein has reported that the “consulate in Benghazi” actually was no such thing. He observes that although administration officials have done nothing to correct that oft-repeated characterization of the facility where the murderous attack on Stevens and his colleagues was launched, they call it a “mission.” What Mr. Klein describes as a “shabby, nondescript building” that lacked any “major public security presence” was, according to an unnamed Middle Eastern security official, “routinely used by Stevens and others to coordinate with the Turkish, Saudi and Qatari governments on supporting the insurgencies in the Middle East, most prominently the rebels opposing Assad’s regime in Syria.”
We know that Stevens‘ last official act was to hold such a meeting with an unidentified “Turkish diplomat.” Presumably, the conversation involved additional arms shipments to al Qaeda and its allies in Syria. It also may have involved getting more jihadi fighters there. After all, Mr. Klein reported last month that, according to sources in Egyptian security, our ambassador was playing a “central role in recruiting jihadists to fight Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria.”

Keep buying the media's blame game story though cause this will lead you to something a lot deeper and darker than that.edit on 28-10-2012 by antonia because: added a thought

Whether you liked Bush or not, we saw none of this on his watch because these groups KNEW things would go very bad for them if they tried.
Really? You are going to claim on Bushes watch nothing happened. I understand Benghazi happened on 911 but have you already forgotten about the other 911? It is a bit early to be trying to rewrite history.

Just because you may have read a Tom Clancy novel doesn't mean this man is not who he says he is. Of course its real easy to say he's a fraud just to say it.
But the truth is fraud or not he is absolutely right about everything he stated and I can verify it 100% because I've never read a Tom Clancy novel but I did work in military intelligence. If he's a fraud then he's one HELL of a GREAT fraud, like he must be Tom Clancy himself.

Why you keep arguing mute points, such as if it really was a consulate or not,
Of course it's important. What the place was indicates who ran it, who was responsible for securing and most importantly-Why it wasn't secured. If was simply a CIA post then it does explain the lack of security. They wouldn't want it to be conspicuous. My whole point is this media blame game is simply a cover for a CIA operation, that is all. As for my comments on what a terrorist would do, think about it-What was attacked next? The CIA annex. The group accused of doing it has CIA connections. These aren't benign connections.

This happens to be a video where Rush isn't relevant at all. The most important points are made by the caller.
The thread title explains what the caller has to say. But most important are the details of why he believes this is true.
I understand now you can't see the video, but I strongly suggest you get to a place where you can watch it. In my opinion, it's that important.
SO in other words he wasn't there and didn't really know anything but we are supposed to waste time listening to what he thinks happened. That would be like listening to Todd Akin teach sexual education.
No, in other words the Caller is telling you how the system of communication works and that it is impossible for the POTUS and Washington DC to claim they didn't know about the attack when it was happening in real time. There is a system in already in place to for urgent message/intelligence to be sent and received. During the seven hour battle there was most definitely a call for help from those who were on the ground (the deceased CIA agents) during the fight but it was ignored and or denied.

I didn't say he is a fraud - it is my OPINION that that is the most likely case - but I cannot say it as a fact.
My point is that getting it all "right" is not really a good indictor that he is who he says he is.
And until he DOES actually identify himself the ONLY accurate thing you can say about who he is is that he is an annonymous source.
But the truth is fraud or not he is absolutely right about everything he stated and I can verify it 100% because I've never read a Tom Clancy novel but I did work in military intelligence. If he's a fraud then he's one HELL of a GREAT fraud, like he must be Tom Clancy himself.
Tom Clancy worked closely with US military and intelligence to get his stories "right" - you should try reading them some time.

I read both of those papers, I got the names mixed up in my mind. Stuff happens, either way the article is there. you can read it or you can ignore it. Your call.

You compared Bush on that 9/11 to Obama on this 9/11. I clarified the situation.

As for your claim that you were in military intellgence [sic], that would seem to be an unsubstantiated claim too. A guy/gal on ATS -- or anywhere else anonymously on the internet -- claiming to have been in military intelligence is no more compelling evidence than a caller to a radio/cable/internet talk show.

I think you just had an episode of cognitive dissonance because the person I responded to said there was never an attack on Bushes watch which I clarified for him. It was all in the post you commented on.
