Why won't the US government admit Iran funded the Benghazi attacks?
2020-10-13
Ran into this NY Post article from 8/22/2020.
US intelligence agencies are sitting on a treasure trove of documents that detail Iran’s direct, material involvement in the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that cost the lives of four Americans. But until now, deep state bureaucrats have buried them under layers of classification, often without reason.

From CIA officers, military contractors, and sources within US Special Forces, I have learned of the existence of at least 50 briefing documents that warned of Iranian intelligence operations in Benghazi. Some specifically predicted an Iranian attack on US diplomats and US facilities. Those documents have remained inaccessible, including to the Select Committee on Benghazi chaired by former US Representative Trey Gowdy.

#8  It certainly makes the Obama briefing to Trump about the two greatest threats being NorK and Flynn seem cogent. After all, if Iran did this through a surrogate it would utterly reveal the depths of foreign influence ValJar, Huma, Brennan and the deep state towelheads had on our government and the willingness to hide this arrogant act of war. Flynn surely had to be silenced, and apparently still is...

#5  To protect the media, Muller-Comey, Bassturd Barry, Clinton and the DNC deep state CIA, State Department and DOJ.

All it boils down to.

#4  And here I thought it was the Syrians, or maybe even Boris himself (although unlikely). We had some folks here that called out the Persians, perhaps correctly.

#2  A well coordinated attack with direct and indirect fire components along with a discreet assault element who very selectively got hard files and electronics, mainly in English. All of which points to a discreet command element as well.

No BS protest or Mickey Mouse movie and the date wasn't 'coincidence' either. It was well carried out and more than obviously rehearsed. Raids and ambushes be hard, once you get away from that set on the back lot that is.

#1  When I learned of the amazing accuracy of the mortar attack at Benghazi, I immediately suspected foreign tactical involvement. Kristian "Tanto" Paronto told me at a book signing that Assar al Sharia was behind the attack. He went on to explain frequently observed site target surveillance and GPS aspects. I believed him then. I believe him now.

Perhaps Qasem Soleimani could shed some light on the topic. Oh WAIT !
