A former U.S. Attorney who represents whistle-blowers with knowledge of what happened when armed militants attacked the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya last year says 400 surface-to-air missiles were 'taken from Libya' during the attack, and that the U.S. intelligence community is terrified they might be used to shoot down airliners.
Joe diGenova, whose wife Victoria Toensing - a former deputy assistant attorney general - also represents Benghazi witnesses and others with knowledge of the terror attack, told WMAL radio that the loss of those missiles is also one the reason the U.S. State Department shut down 19 embassies across the Middle East last week.

About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

Does Bo the flying dog know about this? Who was really on that Osprey? Enquiring minds want to know.
-"A former U.S. Attorney [SNIP] says 400 surface-to-air missiles were 'taken from Libya' during the attack, and that the U.S. intelligence community is terrified they might be used to shoot down airliners."-
What a load of crock!
Al-Qaeda already acquired thousands of Russian made MANPADS from Kaddafi's stockpiles during the civil war. Chemical weapons too.
"the loss of those missiles is also one the reason the U.S. State Department shut down 19 embassies across the Middle East last week."
~Joe diGenova
Seriously?
Wide body jets cannot be easily knocked down by MANPADs, except by luck.
(You would be in about the same danger if you had a Korean air crew)
Exactly 1(ONE) wide body jet was knocked down by a MANPAD in Iraq during the American occupation.
MANPADs are designed to shoot down helicopters mainly, ground attack jets secondarily.
They have small warheads that work like a shotgun blast. Very ineffective against a jet airliner.
A MANPAD would be virtually useless against a hardened bunker-like structure such as an embassy.
NO, Benghazi did not have an American embassy or even a official mission and even if the U.S. had had one in Benghazi the attack was carried out with garden variety AK-47s and mortars, nothing exotic about those in that part of the world.
This so-called 'information' is pure sophistry put out by the Obama administration to muddy the waters of the congressional inquiry and set up false talking points.
Kind of hard to cover tracks while you're beating a retreat, eh 'bama?
Ooze...yer soundin like North O 90 here, article didn't say who's missles they were (maybe not man-pads???), maybe Benghazi was a transfer point for stingers to be delivered to Syria through Turkey!!!
anyway there is a narrative out on aradia street that suggests that it attack was an effort to aquire hostages for a bargaining chip to have the blind terrorist (the one who engineered the attack on the WTC in 1993)released. Also the MB, and Morsi of Egypt, have been implicated in this, by Arab news out lets
Michael Savage was making the point last night about Bo getting to travel in a brand new state-of-the-art Osprey - meanwhile our Navy Seals in Afghanistan have to take Vietnam-era choppers so as to make them easy targets for his co-religionists.
In answer to the question posed by Hitlery K (and the thread title) ; I think it will make very little difference - and that is both sad and
scary.
Regardless of the evidence coming to light on Benghazi and the fact the Prez ran a campaign of lies and deceit while he was covering his junta;s murder of Americans there (and in fast and furious) it will make little difference in congress getting this criminal behind bars or the media pimping him as a deity, or the food stamp/obamaphone nation who vote for him.
Stevens is dead, Border agents and cops are dead, the gulag nation grows unabated, Snowden has a court ordered fatwa on his head for exposing this corruption and the main culprit in the Benghazi scandal will be running for prez in 2016 - the US is in the hands of a corrupt political insider class which works for special interests - it shows - how much will Americans put up with - a lot apparently.
Irrelevant whose MANPADS they started out as:
-overthrowing Ghadafi left approx. 15,000 of them in these terrorist's hands
-MANPADS are not meant to shoot down civilian airliners and so do the job very poorly(not a significant threat anyway)
-shooting down planes has nothing to do with closing down embassy buildings
You're a stupid person, Satan.
If Issa can't get to the truth before 2014 I am gona get pissed.
