David Petraeus: No One In the CIA Ordered Operatives To Stand Down
From Ace of Spades:
No one... in the CIA.
Hmm. Who would be in a position to order the stand-down, who's not in the CIA?Hmmmm...
It would have to be someone very high ranking in the chain of command, obviously.Not military -- I don't think the military can order the CIA.
So, someone high ranking who is not military and also not in the CIA, but who gives orders to the CIA.
I give up. I can't solve this mystery.
Can you?GO READ THE WHOLE THING.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE:
Blackfive: A US Troop Would Not Have Been Painting a Target Unless There Was a Spectre or Armed Predator In the Air to Fire On It
Now that he points this out, it's obvious-- a laser designator isn't a weapon. It's a designator which a flying weapons platform sees and then strikes.
A SEAL wouldn't just be pointing a laser designator at a target for shits and giggles. If there were no platform in the air that could fire on the target, he wouldn't be pointing a laser designator at the target. He'd be pointing a gun.
So there was almost certainly a platform capable of firing the weapon in the air.
And further: At that point, only two men would have been in a position to veto the strike.
YOU KNOW, I SAY SOME STRANGE STUFF AROUND HERE, AND I AM AWARE OF IT.
I'M AWARE THAT SOME OF MY VIEWS ARE OUTSIDE OF MAINSTREAM THOUGHT. I RECOGNIZE THEY SOUND CRAZY TO A ENLIGHTENED HUMAN BEING.
I KNOW IT SOUNDS INSANCE WHEN I SAY ALLAH IS SATAN. YOU GUYS WONDER IF I AM SERIOUS.
ANSWER IS, I DON'T KNOW. BUT, WHAT I DO KNOW IS IF THERE REALLY IS A SATAN, THEN WE COULD EXPECT HIM TO BE AN AWFUL LOT LIKE ALLAH.
AND, I HAVE ALSO BEEN SAYING I THINK THIS MURDER OF AMBASSADOR STEVENS WAS A "SET-UP".
I KNOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE AN INSANE CONSPIRACY THEORY.
BUT AS ALL OF THE EVIDENCE POINTS BACK AT ONE GUY, MAYBE WE ARE STARTING TO SEE THERE IS NO CONSPIRACY AT ALL.
IT'S JUST ONE GUY SETTING UP ANOTHER GUY F OR WHO KNOWS WHAT REASON.
GOT ANY IDEAS?

Doug Hagmann at NEIN has a theory
ReplyDeleteIgnoring the calls for help from the consulate and the "stand down" directives give credibility to the kidnap/exchange theory, except that things did not go as planned ...
ReplyDeleteJust a theory ...
MR,
ReplyDeleteI believe that arming Syria story could be true.
What do you think?
Hagmann is not the only person I have heard it from either.
Regarding arming Syria: Why did we get involved? True Assad was killing his people, but so were the ayatollahs when the Iranians were asking for our help, and the administration ignored them.
ReplyDeleteAfter the Egypt experience, why are we helping the brotherhood arming them in Syria? They are already persecuting minorities and making everybody miserable. Why did we take sides and did not wait for them to kill each other?
I agree. It is at least plausible if not (yet) verifiably credible.
ReplyDeleteI just posted on it with links to other very similar stories from Fox, Radical slam and Front Page Mag. Not sites usually given to conspiracy theories.
clarification -- my comment was a resposne to Pastorius. I have no answer for CM except that why does this administration do anything it does?
ReplyDeleteAs far as Charles' question is concerned, I have to say, I have never been able to figure out why Obama likes certain thugs and dislikes others.
ReplyDeleteI guess we could speculate that Bashar Assad is too secular for Obama, whereas the Mullahs actually support Sharia law, like the Muslim Brotherhood.
But few observers other than some of us here would believe that Obama's motivation might be the Islamization of the world.
It is very obvious however, that Obama is promoting the Muslim Brotherhood, and the net effect of that is the Islamization of four countries, so far.
It's simple. the brotherhood is chic. Like Ayer's, Dorhn and the Chicago 8.
ReplyDeleteAssad is merely Capone.
Assad and Mubarak's cause was their own and personal. That's grubby and old.
The Ikhwan have a nice black flag, and that Shahada has a nice ring to it, you know.
If you repeat enough it starts to sound like Dylan.
If you're a fucking moron
Epa,
ReplyDeleteHilarious, and probably true.
