ABSTRACT: Let’s look at this narrative in the X post below, alleging high-level misconduct in U.S. foreign policy related to the 2012 Benghazi attack.
It claims that Ambassador Christopher Stevens was dispatched to Benghazi to recover U.S.-manufactured Stinger missiles illicitly supplied by the State Department, under Secretary Hillary Clinton, to Libyan group Ansar al-Sharia without congressional approval. The deal, purportedly brokered through Stevens and arms dealer Marc Turi, resulted in some missiles reaching Afghanistan, where one downed a U.S. Chinook helicopter on July 25, 2012, with its serial number tracing back to a CIA cache in Qatar. In response to the exposure risk, President Obama and Clinton allegedly entered panic mode, issuing stand-down orders to rescue teams during the Benghazi siege to prioritize missile retrieval.
The narrative asserts that the CIA, under General David Petraeus, refused to supply the missiles due to risks to commercial aircraft, leading Obama to discredit Petraeus for not endorsing the administration’s claim of a spontaneous uprising sparked by a YouTube video. It accuses Obama and Clinton of treason, suggesting Clinton’s private email server was used to erase evidence, and Obama’s UN statements were deliberate falsehoods.
Further, it alleges Taliban blackmail over the unauthorized deal prompted the 2014 release of five Guantanamo detainees in exchange for deserter Bowe Bergdahl as a cover.
The account concludes that withholding military aid in Benghazi stemmed from fears of missile traceability, portraying Obama as a compromised traitor and Clinton as a perjurer, framing the Benghazi investigations as centered on these covert operations.
