#1 After the Bengazi giveaway, this smells like crap.

#2 According to State Department and military sources,

Google and NSA can track my F-150 and cellie, but dozens of GPS equipped GMV's cannot be found? Ok, I see. Warehoused somewhere in Benghazi you say? Just now turned up missing ?

Could we have another try at this one POLMIL, and leave out blaming US Army Special Forces this time will you ?

#3 Well if we know where the rebel held camp is ( right where we left it) we ought to be able to send a drone in and take care of business....

#4 "GMV" is just a version of a HUMMV - see: http://www.americanspecialops.com/photos/special-forces/special-forces-gmv.php

"Highly armored vehicle"? - Not quite.

#5 Is it time for an arc-light strike on that abandoned Libyan camp?

#12 So while McCain et al were selling us Team Syria Rebels can be armed but Team Bad Guys Vs. Assad would be kept out of the training and equipment pool.

This had happened.

Those bunch of....rrrrghs.

#14 Question: how can they 'steal' what appears to have been pretty much freely given by the administration?

#15 Another triumph in the chain of Middle Eastern policy choices and actions by the O'Bumble/Shrillary team. Has there been a more complete and sustained disaster in recent American foreign policy history? With this long chain of domestic and foreign policy failures, how long can the MSM and average Americans go before it becomes evident what an utter failure they chose and re-chose based entirely on packaging and demographics?
