According to a report by WND, a probe of military generals has revealed that that the U.S. did indeed ‘switch sides’ in the war on terror.
That’s a rather nice way of saying our government is now a terrorist organization backing other terrorist organizations.
As Obama has done everything to insure that the 20-year, 7-step plan by Al-Qaida to dominate the world continues to accurately be carried out as it has for years, it’s certainly a small leap to believe in these general’s conclusions, even though these generals are DOING NOTHING about it.
NEW YORK – The Obama White House and the State Department under the management of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton “changed sides in the war on terror” in 2011 by implementing a policy of facilitating the delivery of weapons to the al-Qaida-dominated rebel militias in Libya attempting to oust Moammar Gadhafi from power, the Citizens Commission on Benghazi concluded in its interim report.
In WND interviews, several members of the commission have disclosed their finding that the mission of Christopher Stevens, prior to the fall of Gadhafi and during Stevens’ time as U.S. ambassador, was the management of a secret gun-running program operated out of the Benghazi compound.
The Obama administration’s gun-running project in Libya, much like the “fast and furious” program under Eric Holder’s Justice Department, operated without seeking or obtaining authorization by Congress.
WND reported Monday that in exclusive interviews conducted with 11 of the 17 members of the commission, it is clear that while the CCB is still enthusiastic to work with Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, and hopeful that Boehner is serious about the investigation, various members of the CCB, speaking on their own behalf and not as spokesmen for the commission, are expressing concerns, wanting to make sure the Gowdy investigation is not compromised by elements within the GOP.
The Citizen’s Commission on Benghazi’s interim report, in a paragraph titled “Changing sides in the War on Terror,” alleges “the U.S. was fully aware of and facilitating the delivery of weapons to the Al Qaeda-dominated rebel militias throughout the 2011 rebellion.”
The report asserted the jihadist agenda of AQIM, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group and other Islamic terror groups represented among the rebel forces was well known to U.S. officials responsible for Libya policy.
“The rebels made no secret of their Al Qaeda affiliation, openly flying and speaking in front of the black flag of Islamic jihad, according to author John Rosenthal and multiple media reports,” the interim report said. “And yet, the White House and senior Congressional members deliberately and knowingly pursued a policy that provided material support to terrorist organizations in order to topple a ruler who had been working closely with the West actively to suppress Al Qaeda.”
The report concluded: “The result in Libya, across much of North Africa, and beyond has been utter chaos, disruption of Libya’s oil industry, the spread of dangerous weapons (including surface-to-air missiles), and the empowerment of jihadist organizations like Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood.”
Christopher Stevens: ’1st U.S. envoy to al-Qaida’
In the WND interviews, several members of the citizens’ commission, speaking for themselves, not for the commission, added important background to the interim report’s conclusion.
“In early 2011, before Gadhafi was deposed, Christopher Stevens came to Benghazi in a cargo ship, and his title at the time was envoy to the Libyan rebels,’ which basically means Christopher Stevens was America’s very first envoy to al-Qaida,” explained Clare Lopez, a member of the commission who served as a career operations officer with the CIA and current is vice president for research at the Washington-based Center for Security Policy.
“At that time, Stevens was facilitating the delivery of weapons to the al-Qaida-related militia in Libya,” Lopez continued. “The weapons were produced at factories in Eastern Europe and shipped to a logistics hub in Qatar. The weapons were financed by the UAE and delivered via Qatar mostly on ships, with some possibly on airplanes, for delivery to Benghazi. The weapons were small arms, including Kalashnikovs, rocket-propelled grenades and lots of ammunition.”
Lopez further explained that during the period of time when Stevens was facilitating the delivery of weapons to the al-Qaida-affiliated militia in Libya, he was living in the facility that was later designated the Special Mission Compound in Benghazi.
“This was about weapons going into Libya, and Stevens is coordinating with Abdelhakim Belhadj, the leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, other al-Qaida-affiliated militia leaders and leaders of the Libyan Muslim Brotherhood that directed the rebellion against Qadhafi as an offshoot of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood,” Lopez said. “Many of the individual members of the al-Qaida-related militias, including the LIFG, and the groups that would later become Ansar Al-Sharia, were Muslim Brotherhood members first.”
According to the interim report, as detailed by Lopez, a delegation from the UAE traveled to Libya after the fall of Gadhafi to collect payment for the weapons the UAE had financed and that Qatar had delivered to the Transitional National Council in Libya during the war.
“The UAE delegation was seeking $1 billion it claimed was owed,” the interim report noted. “During their visit to Tripoli, the UAE officials discovered that half of the $1 billion worth of weapons it had financed for the rebels had, in fact, been diverted by Mustafa Abdul Jalil, the Muslim Brotherhood head of the Libyan TNC, and sold to Qaddafi.”
According to information discovered during the UAE visit to Tripoli, when Jalil learned that Maj. Gen. Abdel Fatah Younis, Gadhafi’s former minister of the interior before his late February 2011 defection to the rebel forces, had found out about the weapons diversion and the $500 million payment from Gadhafi, Jalil ordered Abu Salim Abu Khattala, leader of the Abu Obeida Bin al-Jarrah brigade to kill Younis.
“Abu Khattala, later identified as a Ansar al- Shariah commander who participated in the 11 September 2012 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, accepted the orders and directed the killing of Gen. Younis in July 2011,” the interim report noted.
Abu Khattala is currently in custody in New York awaiting trial under a Department of Justice-sealed indictment, after U.S. Delta Force special operations personnel captured him over the weekend of June 14-15, 2014, in a covert mission in Libya. Abu Khattala’s brigade merged into Ansar al-Shariah in 2012, and he was positively identified to the FBI in a cell phone photo from the scene of the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi.
The language of the interim report made clear why the sequence of events is important.
“The key significance of this episode is the demonstration of a military chain-of-command relationship between the Libyan Muslim Brotherhood leadership of the TNC and the Al Qaeda-affiliated militia (Ansar al-Shariah) that has been named responsible for the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi,” the interim Rreport concluded.
“What we have here is the Muslim Brotherhood leadership of the revolution giving a kill order to a Muslim militia affiliated with al-Qaida, which then carried it out,” Lopez summarized. “This chain-of-command link is important even though it has not yet received enough attention in the media.
Congress needs to impeach him NOW!
NO$#%&!@*!!!!!
Why tell us this and then sit on your thumbs?
when are the american people going to see justice here? how can this man get away with so much tyranny? We need to act fast, as I understand he already bought a mansion in Dubai!!!!
Why is this a big surprise??????????
I think it’s time the military, who took the oath to defend the constitution from foriegn and domestic enemy. Obama has been stepping all over the constitution. They should storm the white house arrest Obama for treason and put the VP in charge until the elections are over and inform him that he better do right or he will be next. Because congress will not do what is right.
Put it in writing then do something about it – you wusses.
Also the oath does not include the President or congress, It covers the constitution only. They do not have obey the President they have to obey the constitution. They do not have to obey any unlawful order
Katie Dunn Kramer they have the proof and then some. This is the same FBI that assassinated an unarmed man with 3 agents at a military style ambush in front of his family on execute order…while the news filmed it from a helicopter so there’s ZERO way to defend the actions of the whole operation. The state dept was brokering weapons and explosives deals of ATF confiscated weapons through controlled sale to mexican drug cartels and domestic terror cells and mexican drug gangs inside the country. # incident resulted in American deaths as a result of the shooters using weapons purchased by feds in operation fast and furious and project gunrunner- Ft Hood, Chattanooga, and San Bernardino – contrary to claims that 2 AR15s with 5 separate features were “registered” in the state to the neighbor who disappeared when it’s literally impossible for any non-M&P to buy these weapons in CALI, let alone register them- they COULD be purchased from a mexican source with cartel links that get their weapons from Obama’s State Dept through the 2 programs he authorized….Remember his “common sense gun laws” speeches? I got a common sense gun law suggestion- quit arming our enemies so they can secure the afghan heroin that ends up in mexico and somehow is making it through our unsecured borders in epidemic proportions… reagan trades small arms for HUMAN lives in a ransom demand and the left blew the backs out of their panties. Obama has been selling guns to our enemies here and abroad for profit and I’m gonna guess this is the first you even HEARD about project Gunrunner and Operation Fast and Furious, Arab Spring, Obama trying to force our SOF to train Al Qaeda so they can secure their heroin refinement operations…Do this math: are occupying “non-combat operations” in afghanistan training forces out there- MOST of the world’s heroin comes from that region- it ends up in mexico- the borders are forcibly unsecured by the Obama Administration-Weapons are sold to the mexican cartels (like the ATF confiscated weapons recovered in the El Chapo raids) to secure to the Afghan heroin that mysteriously materializes in Mexico somehow and is currently saturating our nation to such an extent that they sell the NARCAIN shot over the counter, but still our pretesident actively fights border security laws by ordering the stand down of security officers in certain areas of the border. Now I don’t give a rat’s$#%&!@*who or what religion you are, IF you were white and pulled this$#%&!@*in the oval office you would be impeached and imprisoned by the time you tried to trade 5 top taliban and Al Qaeda officials for a POS deserting traitor.
We all knew this!!!!
