It's a conspiracy theory, to be sure, but "Kozy" asserts the Benghazi attack was an "October Surprise" gone awry thanks to two SEALs who weren't even supposed to be in Benghazi.

The scenario is both simple and plausible:

• In June, Egyptian President Morsi pledged to secure the release of 'The Blind Sheikh', the extremist cleric responsible for the first World Trade Center attack.

• Eager to accommodate Morsi and strengthen the U.S. relationship with Egypt, Obama's henchmen formulate a two-step cover story. The first step is a video that no one has seen, which was released in July.

• Next, strip security from the Libyan Ambassador, despite pleas from a variety of quarters for more security, not less. In essence, remove any barriers to using the Ambassador as a hostage.

• Back-channel communications between the White House and the Imam's legal representatives confirm that a swap can be achieved with a high-level hostage exchange. The Imam's cronies are informed that Ambassador Stevens has no security in Benghazi. So the Imam can be secured through a trade after capturing Stevens who doesn't even have a single bodyguard.

• Had all gone according to plan, Stevens would be released just before the election; Obama would take credit for that and a newly strengthened relationship with Egypt and Morsi.

• But what wasn't planned: two ex-SEALs named Doherty and Woods. They only happened to be in Benghazi because they were on a separate intel mission to locate surface-to-air missiles. So the terrorists launch their attack believing that there is no security whatsoever. And they are surprised to find that two SEALs are not only fighting back, but killing them left and right. The resulting firefight transforms the terrorists' assault from a simple kidnapping into a murderous onslaught that cost all four Americans their lives. Sure, it's a crazy, right-wing conspiracy theory. But add in the following observations:

“Glen and Tyrone had each served America as Navy SEALs for many years, before continuing their service providing security for our diplomats in Libya. They died as they lived their lives — defending their fellow Americans, and advancing the values that all of us hold dear. -President Obama (Weekly address)


Sounds good, the only problem is this statement is a total fabrication. It was worded to imply Ambassador Stevens had more security than actually existed. Yes, they were both former Navy SEAL’s, but neither Tyrone nor Glen were part of the Ambassadors official security detail.

No. The truth is: they heard the attack, they heard the gunfire, and despite the danger to themselves they rushed into the breach taking weapons from the frightened Libyan security officials to help protect the American Consulate, Ambassador Stevens and his embassy aide Sean Smith.

Both Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were under no obligation to assist, protect or defend Stevens. They could have bugged out, they didn’t….. They ran into the breach. It was, and is, an important enough distinction such that two U.S. officials quickly wanted to tell the truth. They told the Guardian:

Eh.. it's an absolute fiction though. Every aspect, except the fact that four americans were killed in an attack, is fabrication. No connections whatsoever. I mean it would be an interesting story, but that's all it is.

Plus, you don't seem to understand that Obama has this election in the bag and always has. He doesn't need an october surprise. He is considered to already have enough electoral votes to win the presidency, while Romney is far off. This has all been a show. Romney was never close to the presidents lead except when the president allowed him to be breifly by throwing a debate, which he did so Dems would get out and vote. Of course that was because it would be hard to sell that the president won if Dems voted in low numbers because they thought it was in the bag. So throw the debate, tighten up the race, then in the next debate win it back, then in the final debates destroy. It has to be a close race so people don't consider third parties, and still keep the illusion of choice.

I promise you, Obama is taking it, Romney likely never even considered he would be president. I am sure he is happy enough playing his part and being mega rich. It is all about keeping the people from wresting control out of the "two parties" and moving in a third party.

AL-QAEDA LEADER CALLS FOR MUSLIMS TO KIDNAP WESTERNERS IN EXCHANGE FOR IMPRISONED JIHADISTS

The leader of Al-Qaeda is calling on Muslims to kidnap Westerners as a means to free imprisoned jihadists. “We are seeking, by the help of Allah, to capture others and to incite Muslims to capture the citizens of the countries that are fighting Muslims in order to release our captives,” Ayman Al-Zawahri said in a more than two-hour video posted on militant web sites this week, Reuters reported. The Egyptian-born jihadist called for the abductions as part of a vow not to “spare any efforts” to free Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, CNN reported. Abdel-Rahman is the so-called “blind sheikh” serving a life sentence in U.S. prison for masterminding the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
