Newscast Media WASHINGTON, D.C—"I don't know if it's either a cover-up or the worst kind of incompetence, which doesn't qualify the president as commander in chief," John McCain said on "Face the Nation" on Sunday, as published by CBS News in this article. (pop-up)
While some might think McCain is on a "wild goose chase", there seems to be a method to his madness. We should therefore consider and explore the cover-up as the fourth theory.
The question this journalist must now confront is, "What is the cover-up?" During the civil war that eventually led to the overthrow of Libya's Col. Gaddafi, it was reported that his immense cache of weapons that he had accumulated over decades went missing. "All of Libya is a grand arms bazaar," said Mr. Peter Bouckaert, who said it appeared that SA-14 and SA-7 missiles had also been taken. Speaking to the BBC from Tripoli, Mr. Bouckaert said the rebels had no use for SAMs anymore, given that there was no longer a threat from the air, but that they were still going missing - and were often the first to go. "It begs the question - why are these being so sought out?" He asked, according to the BBC. (pop-up) In Part 1 we settled the question regarding how Stevens found himself in Benghazi, now we have to link the al-Qaeda rebels to him, before we can answer the question of the cover-up. During the uprising, Libyan rebel commander Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, admitted in an interview with Italian newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore that members of Al Qaeda whom he referred to as "good Muslims" were fighting with the rebels in Libya. (pop-up) It's the reason Gaddafi called them "rats" because his intel identified al-Qaeda elements amongst the rebels. (pop-up) We also know that they were al-Qaeda rebels fighting, because after Benghazi had been overriden they flew the al-Qaeda flag above the Benghazi courthouse. After Gaddafi was overthrown, these same rebels began occupying Benghazi, and we saw earlier that Chris Stevens was sent as a liaison to the Libyan opposition. We've also determined, based on the rebel commander Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi's interview, that al-Qaeda was among the opposition. We have therefore established a link between al-Qaeda and Chris Stevens the "liaison" as described by Hillary. We should now take this a step further and ask, "How would the rebels and the US benefit from each other, since Stevens was sent to create a bridge between the two?" In order to answer that question, we also have to also answer the question above posed to the BBC by Mr. Peter Bouckaert, who asked, "Why are these weapons (SA-14 and SA-7 missiles) being sought out? The answer will help us hit two birds with one stone. The first question has to do with how the US would benefit from creating a bridge between Stevens and opposition, and the answer is, they (the opposition) were the ones who would be used as pawns to fight the war in Syria in exchange for the US helping remove Gaddafi—Without outside intervention, the rebels could not do it by themselves. The second question by Mr. Bouckart as to why the SA-14 and SA-7 missiles were being sought out, and where the cache of weapons had disappeared, also point to Syria. Those are the same weapons that would be used to bring down Assad's jets and helicopters, and would also be used to destroy tanks. Yet in order to fully solve this puzzle, we have to be able to place the Libyan opposition and al-Qaeda in Syria. After all, we have just determined that the weapons cache would be used in Syria against Assad, by these very same rebels. After we place the rebels in Syria, we also have to place the weapons that disappeared, in Syria. Ruth Sherlock of The Telegraph, was on the ground in Idlib province in Syria, and according to her, when she asked the leader of the Free Syria Army (FSA) who the fighters were in Syria, he identified them as Libyans. "Libyans", muttered the rebel Free Syria Army leader under his breath, shooting the men a dirty look. "We don't want these extremist people here. Look at them; we didn't have this style in Syria - who is this? Bin Laden?" The Telegraph reported in this article. (pop-up) After we place the weapons in Syria, the cover-up McCain was talking about will begin to make sense. Part 3.
