Diplomatic Vulnerability

This is your September Surprise, right here.

There's an incumbent Democratic President, a natural enemy to the National Security establishment and the Military Industrial Complex running for re-election and, unsurprisingly, there's a brewing foreign policy that involves a direct assault on the principles of international diplomacy and Hilary Clinton's liberal-as-all hell friends dying in unlikely and ludicrous fashion.

The circumstances surrounding the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens in Benghazi are unclear and prima face absurd.

Since the official story is so confused, it becomes the job of the Spooks of Spin moderating the Wikipedia entry in the event to sanitise and make sense of the event.

This is what we have so far:

"A rocket propelled grenade attack reportedly created a fire in the main consulate building with three Americans inside — Stevens, Sean Smith, and a security officer.

According to U.S. officials, the security officer escaped and the staff found Smith dead.

However, the staff were unable to locate Ambassador Stevens before being driven from the building under small arms fire.

Stevens apparently became separated from his staff while trying to escape to the roof and was ultimately overcome by smoke inhalation.

Local civilians found Stevens and brought him to the Benghazi Medical Centre in a state of cardiac arrest.

Medical personnel tried to resuscitate him, but he was pronounced dead at about 2:00am local time.

The surviving Americans were taken to a safe house.

A rescue squad consisting of eight U.S. military or former military was sent from Tripoli, the capital.

They were ambushed and the safe house came under attack. Two more Americans died, including one sent from Tripoli; several were wounded.

Later reports identified the victims as Tyrone S. Woods and Glen A. Doherty, both ex-Navy SEALs working as security and intelligence contractors. U.S. officials began an investigation."

So far, so much bullshit.

Granted, this was not the American embassy in Tripoli, this was the consulate building in Benghazi, but there were four people in the building - where we're the embassy marines?

The Ambassador was caught in a clinch with the IT guy for protection.

Libya is NOT a friendly country even now, nor is it a stable one... Where was his protection?

We surely have to believe that he wasn't a complete idiot so much as to go wandering around the regions essentially with a target pinned to his chest saying "Look at me, I'm an unarmed American official and it's September the 11th, come and get me!!"

Then we have the question of the smoke inhalation.

I'm no gun-nut and I don't know much about ordinance, but I do know that Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPGs) do not produce firey explosions or tend to set things on fire.

We this a gas attack, that might be more likely. But where would rioters or dissidents get their hands on gas weapons? And how is an RPG fired at a building from the street below producing that effect, precisely?

There is no big mystery here, it's not the Illuminati, it's not the NWO or aliens or the Rosecrusicans or the Masons or anything like that....

There's a Democrat in the White House running for re-election, so right-wing factions within the CIA and the Pentagon are doing things.

Killing people. Specifically, US diplomats overseas and friends of the Clinton Family. In this case Chris Stevens fulfils both of those criteria and got subjected to a targeted assassination on a psychologically inflammatory date.

It's an established pattern. This has happened several dozen times over the last three and a half decades and it's happening now. Hilary and Obama recognise it, know who's behind it and what the intention to it is and are refusing to take the bait. Why is that so difficult to understand?
