Clinton Continues to Avoid Testifying of Her Involvement in CIA Spy Stevens Death in BenghaziSusanne Posel, Contributor Yet according to the State Department, Benghazi was not a priority in Washington. The National Transitional Council (NTC) hired militia members and extremists to fill in the gaps in their national armed forces. In Benghazi, Stevens stayed at a gated-villa, leased by the US State Department from a local man named Mohammad al-Bishari. The villa in Benghazi was not a US Embassy, diplomatic mission or extension of the embassy. In fact, the nearest US Embassy is Tripoli. This location housed Stevens where he spoke with the NTC, a de facto government in Libya that assisted the US in the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. Headquartered in Benghazi and the self-proclaimed only legitimate body representing the people of Libya and the Libyan state. Stevens had previously been designated as a special representative to the NTC during the US-controlled Libyan revolution. To mask Stevens new role, he was given US Ambassador status by Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State, and stationed in Tripoli. The Special Operations branch of the CIA deals in guerrilla campaigns using doctrine and guidance when facilitating psychological warfare. The trained operatives used for special operations are mercenaries, such as hired guns, soldiers from Blackwater (or Academi) and other private sector security firms contracted by the US government to ensure US interests foreign or domestic. One group Stevens was heavily monitoring was the Ansar al-Sharia who is directly connected with the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafi extremists who carry out covert operations for the Saudi Arabian government by terrorist means. Stevens work with the CIA extends back to 2011. Stevens spent time negotiating with the NTC because of the international communitys self- recognition of the faction as a legitimate government because of their seat at the UN, as well as assisting the CIA in watching the Ansar al-Sharia which is why he spent so much time in Benghazi. Former CIA Director David Petraeus was well aware of Stevens role in Benghazi. When Stevens died, the CIA agents who worked with him during his intelligence gathering missions said that the agency lost a good pair of eyes. This comment explains the entire reason for a massive cover-up being perpetrated onto the American public complete with an extramarital affair to keep us distracted. Some of Stevens deals for arms can be realized in the artillery and weapons being funneled to the Free Syrian Army (FSA) in Syria who are fighting the proxy war for the US. Stevens became the liaison between US-sponsored terrorist factions and the movement of arms to Syria to assist the FSA. Shipments to the FSA have come from Saudi Arabia where the Salafi terrorists originated and the Partisans of Sharia is used to further subversive interests. Thanks to the US, the Saudi government and Stevens, the FSA are the most heavily armed state-sponsored jihadist group in the Middle East. In reality, Islamic terrorist factions that work with the US were employed by the Saudi Arabian government to take out one of Petraeus CIA spies. That spys name was J. Christopher Stevens. Mullen stated in the review: We did conclude that certain State Department bureau level senior officials in critical levels of authority and responsibility in Washington demonstrated a lack of leadership and management ability appropriate for senior ranks in their responses to security concerns posed by the special mission. Due to budget constraints, money for security was not available and therefore grossly inadequate security was provided which was directly causational to the attack on the rented villa in Benghazi being successful. Senator John Barrasso said that the State Department clearly failed to secure the rented villa. Barrasso went on to say that: They failed to anticipate what was coming because of how bad the security risk already was there. They failed to connect the dots. They didnt have adequate security leading up to the attack and once the attack occurred, the security was woefully inadequate. While Clinton is recovering from a stomach virus, fainting spell and concussion, the agency she heads has taken political hits for the failures cited in Mullens review as well as media coverage of the cover-up concerning Benghazi-gate. Clintons medical issues have precluded her providing testimony at a hearing on Benghazi. State Department deputies Thomas Nides and Bill Burns provided representation at the open session. Last month, Victoria Nulland covered for Clinton when she was first requested to testify before the House Foreign Affairs Committee by saying that Clinton would be travelling that week and unavailable to appear. At this time it was also publicized that the State Departments Legislative Affairs was in the process of gathering and reviewing records that address the security situation leading up to the attack. Senator Bob Corker explained that: I know that Secretary Clinton was unable to be able to testify tomorrow in an open setting. I do think its imperative for all concerned that she testify in an open session prior to any changing of the regime. I think that thats very important for her, I think its very important for our country, and I think its very important to really understand sort of the inner workings of the State Department itself. Diplomatic security is assigned by directives of the US State Department. And Clinton is the member of the Obama administration who exclusively oversees diplomatic security. Those working under Clinton in this matter are Eric J. Boswell, Assistant Secretary of State for Diplomatic Security; Scott P. Bultrowicz, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Diplomatic Security and Director of the Diplomatic Security Service; and Tracy H. Mahaffey, Executive Director for Diplomatic Security. Under the Bureau of Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) there are 2,000 special agents assigned to protect foreign diplomats visiting the US and diplomatic missions overseas. The DSS us an arm of the US State Department as a conduit for all major security and law enforcement matters. This is an agency of the US State Department; and therefore under the control of Clinton. Illeana Ros-Lehtinen, House Foreign Affairs chairwoman explained that Clinton would eventually show to testify in mid-January. We still dont have information from the Obama administration on what went so tragically wrong in Benghazi that resulted in the deaths of four patriotic Americans. We have been combing through classified and unclassified documents and have tough questions about State Department threat assessments and decision-making on Benghazi. This requires a public appearance by the Secretary of State herself. Other Cabinet secretaries involved should also be held publicly accountable. The former CIA director also revealed that the original CIA account of Benghazi, regarding the reference to a terrorist attack, was scrubbed from the CIA draft by federal agencies.
