[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1650282, member: 2189"] Maybe no and yes but the reason our gov't pulled back in Syria was because of public pushback against the whole idea. In fact, there was global reaction and the Military Complex blinked and backed down. And it wasn't a full pullback as our gov't stepped aside as direct aid supplier and used Saudi and Turkish go betweens to achieve the same thing. Even the Israelis got in some action. Benghazi became a key weapons depot shifting captured Libyan weapons into the hands of the rebels, Al Nursa the biggest beneficiary. The big question being if Ambassador Stevens was there to stop weapons transfers or there to enable them? If to enable I celebrate his getting greased along with his guard dogs. Regardless if Stevens was there to stop or enable I suspect the real truth of Benghazi is the fact it was a weapons market we ran and neither side of the political isle wants this made known because either way of Stevens situation would be eye opening to the American public. I also think Darrell Issa was the side show of look here, not there. Issa was dragging the red herring across the trail and everyone is in on the shell game. And lets be honest, Issa isn't smart enough, he just acts when instructed by others and like a good soldier takes the heat. [/QUOTE]
