Al Qaeda weapons expert: Ambassador Stevens killed by lethal injection

Al Qaeda weapons expert: Ambassador Stevens killed by lethal injection. The “plan was based on abduction and exchange of high-level prisoners…” Obviously, a kidnapping plot which arose spontaneously after the participants viewed a certain YouTube video…

  • Muslims do not kill people by lethal injection. They behead, shoot, stab, or blow up people. They do not use lethal injection.

    • I think the claim is that he was injected with something to knock him out, to make the kidnapping go easier. Because he was weakened by the smoke, the injection killed him. So, it wasn't a "lethal injection" as we do it officially in the US, It was an injection that became lethal.

  • Again... I don't understand how Hillary can live with herself knowing that someone that she called a close friend was essentially sent there to either be mistreated or to die. She got sick there for a little while and I think that was guilt but she recovered. That is evil. There is nothing good about this situation this was all evil machinations. Karmaa is right even if this was just an embassy/consulate being burned by haters, all Obama had to do was do what George Bush did: say that these people are going to get it and get it good and bomb the HELL out of them all. He is the Nobel Peace Prize winner Terrorist Warrior whatever gets the Presidency by looking like he cares and by killing terrorist and no need to cheat. This is disgusting. Stevens may have been half lied to, but he going there and helping the administration to do something underhanded placed himself a position where unfortunately it lead to his death. Not saying he deserved it, but saying that putting yourself in the hands of the devil is not a wise move. He probably drank the kool aid, but what REALLY bothers me is the innocent people that DID NOT have to die and now their deaths will go unavenged because Obama doesn't give a crap.

    • The big mistake KQ, is that Hillary has no friends. She has political allies and enemies. Stevens may have called her a friend (more likely not, though) but to Hillary, he would be expendable if necessary.

      However - think about how terrible she looked in the first few days after Benghazi. Maybe she really did have a twinge of guilt? If so, she was probably the only one. Everyone else just went into instant cover-their-butt mode.

      • It seems obvious to me now that she was either lying about their strong and friendly relationship or she fostered this alliance, she may have actually liked the guy, but it was one sided so it seemed real to Stevens, but in the end as you said he was expendable.

        Voldemort liked Snape very much (Harry Potter reference here) that much was clear in the books and a bit in the movies. He gave Snape a lot of carte blanche, confided in him and deferred to his opinion and advice. He seemed unsure at some point of his loyalty, telling me his power wasn't that great to break through Snape's defenses, so he believed Snape to be loyal in the end. I think that Snape represented all that Voldemort was when he was a human being and believed Snape to be loyal to the very end (he wasn't). Was it a friendship? Nope. Not on Snape's side definitely. Even though Voldemort considered himself master over all of them including Snape though he did after all seemed to like Snape a good deal and even perhaps respect him. In the book and a bit in the movie you can TELL that he was a bit sorry that Snape "had" to die. Also he didn't PERSONALLY killed Snape, he had his snake do it. Yes I am equating Hillary to Voldemort here. I can see a bit of that in this situation. In the end Snape WAS expendable even though it was obvious that Voldemort may have preferred the situation to be different or at least the person to be someone else.

        Now the fact that Hillary did get sick after tells me that something human may very well be inside of her. She couldn't leave this position fast enough and she disappeared and left the limelight for a while kind of like a person goes into mourning and does not go out and see anyone, although of course in her case she was having a great time in luxury places. So yes I do think that she was indeed feeling guilt, but it didn't last for very long and in the end it didn't make her say the truth and what difference does it make now right?

        With all of that said, I do give her a bit of props for being the only human being in the bunch that actually felt something whatever that was, even for a little while. Still find it disgusting though.

        • I am not sure if it was guilt, or hysteria that her part in all this would come out. The guilty care little for their victims, but they are all about not getting caught themselves. I suspect she was sweating she was going to get caught out and was desperately trying to come up with a CYA justiofication for whatever she did.

          • Hence why she did not go out and sent or was okay with Rice being sent instead. Not even sure that she would have left her position this early either if this hadn't happened. Just horrible horrible people.

    • KQ, these vicious, backstabbing, deceitful, lying, self-aggrandizing, ego bloated, self-loathing, self-righteous garbage scow barnacles sleep just fine at night. You have to have a properly formed conscience and understand right and wrong thought and behavior before you can be bothered by your conscience. In other words, it has to be switched on and working before you can have the benefits of a guilty conscience and nowadays nobody wants to feel bad about something they've done...all that self-esteem and all.

      • I am not a perfect person, however, seriously if I sent someone to be kidnapped and that person ended up dead after being viciously violated and so on, I would not want to be in government anymore and I would just say the truth and let the chips fall where they may... Of course perhaps I would never be in the position where I would send someone somewhere to be kidnapped and victimized in the first place. It takes someone with serious amount of evil power hungry soulless something to be the kind of person that would do this and then not say anything to at least bring some justice to the family. It is disgusting.

        • But you are a good person, with a solid sense of right and wrong. You actually HAVE a concience. THese people don't. They justify all their actions no matter the outcome. Incidentally, I doubt Amb. Stevens knew what was planned. I don't think he would have volunteered to be captured and placed in a Muslim prison. I think he legitimately thought he was working on a deal. Sad. What a waste!

          • It is just terrible! I feel really bad about him AND especially the others that all in all were innocent.

  • What does this lying woman know about national security? She can't critique a you tube video or tell a convincing lie.

    Our national security has become even more compromised. Damn did the Walkers get out.

  • Could I be Emperor of the United States for like 90 days? Please?

    Message to radical Muslims - "ONE more attack that kills any American anywhere and a cruise missile will hit a certain black building in Mecca. Try me."

    Hey, it's fun to think about. Just sayin'.

  • As I have said repeatedly, it is becoming clear that WE, the people who cared, had pretty much the whole story within a few days of Benghazi. The Administration and the media did their best to shut people up - threatened them, scared them or whatever. But it's coming out now, in bits and pieces.

    Benghazi was SUPPOSED to be Obama's October Surprise. He was supposed to swoop in like super-black-man, the best president EVAH, and rescue Stevens. At the same time, trading the Blind Sheik back to Egypt (who wants him desperately for some unknown reason).

    But because you just can't trust goat-rapers, it backfired. The admin went into scramble mode, and spit out the fastest (albeit DUMBEST) explanation they possibly could. The Video.

    This has been a huge coverup from the very beginning. Ask yourself: why? Our embassy being stormed over there should have rightfully pissed people off. But Obama SHOULD have been able to use that to his advantage, politically. Bush did, right? So, why the immediate push to cover it up - so fast that they used the dumbest thing they could possibly have used? Because they CAUSED IT! That is the most logical explanation!

    When a thinking person puts all the pieces of the puzzle together - even MISSING huge pieces, it makes perfect sense:

    Stevens was going to be kidnapped, in exchange for the blind sheik, Stevens THOUGHT he was doing a covert deal to get arms back (like the US gives a crap about those arms, really?), he meets with the Egyptian diplomat earlier that evening (hence - why he was staying at that outpost, that he normally did not stay at), the place was stormed, and deliberately did not have enough protection. Stevens was supposed to be kidnapped, but 2 things happened - 1) some of the muzzies could not control themselves and went into graffiti/burn it down mode too early, and then 2) a couple of patriots decided to take it upon themselves to SAVE a fellow American. The rest is history.

    • Everything this President touches turns to shit right before our eyes and we can't seem to get the leadership of the Republican Party to move off of their fat asses and start the impeachment process. It doesn't matter if they catch this Village Idiot-In-Chief raping and murdering little boys, the media and his cronies are going to give him a pass, so why don't they just realize that fact and start the ball rolling. Don't they realize they'll have the support of more than 50% of the American population? What are they afraid of, the skeletons in their closets they think Ol' Barrie has on them?

      • Whether the US population is behind them is irrelevant. Do they have enough votes to find him guilty? Probably not. and that's where your 2nd point comes in. They are all in CYA mode, and don't want anything to rock their personal boats.

  • Obama needs a new cover story for this debacle: It was all a publicity stunt for the new "24" reboot, and it went awry.

  • Now we're making sense. Stevens was to be kidnapped and held for ransom(or more weapons), this greatly embarrasses the Great Satan US, gets money for the terrorists, and if they don't pay, the terrorists kill him. A win=win situation. However, Stevens either gets too injured from the fire and needs medical attention, and/or the heathen terrorists beat him and rump rape him so badly he requires medical attention to live, so the terrorists take him to a hospital and he either dies there or was DOA. Sounds more realistic than the pure BS Barry "King Hussein" Obama is putting out.
    MH, I just read your blog. Very plausible with the added incentive to free the Blind Sheik. Still a win-win situation for the terrorists, both in and out of the WH.
