.. and your quote says none of the arrests were made by the FBI. Which is what I recall, the arrest(s) were made by a foreign govt and we, the US, haven't detained or killed a single motherfucker involved in the ordeal. But we did arrest and imprison the guy who made the shitty mohamed film, for a year. What are u arguing about?
President Obamaâs promise that he was seeking justice for the murder of Ambassador Stevens and the other Americans who lost their lives in Benghazi over a year ago are just empty words. This month, Special Operations personnel had one of the prime al Qaeda suspects located in Benghazi but were forced to abandon their mission when no orders to engage were given.
from CNN:
When U.S. commandos grabbed a former al Qaeda operative in Tripoli this month, American forces were just hours away from potentially launching a more dangerous covert raid to capture a militia figure facing charges in the deadly Benghazi terror attack, U.S. officials tell CNN.
U.S. special operations forces were ready, if ordered, to enter Benghazi and capture Ahmed Abu Khattalah, a leading figure in the Ansar Al-Sharia militia. But the mission never materialized.
The United States believes Ansar Al-Sharia was behind the September 2012 armed assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
President Barack Obama has openly said it is a âpriorityâ to bring the Benghazi suspects âto justice.â The FBI continues to investigate the attack and Khattalah is under federal indictment, CNNâs Evan Perez has reported.
The FBI has also published photographs of people seen at the compound on the night of the raid that it wants to talk to.
U.S. intelligence agencies and military special operations forces have moved in and out of Libya for several months with the permission of the Libyan government. They are looking for opportunities to capture alleged suspects in the Benghazi attack, developing a list of nearly a dozen individuals.
But earlier this month may have been one of the closest times they have come to being able to conduct a mission, officials say.
Khattalah had openly operated in Benghazi for months and even has been interviewed by CNNâs Arwa Damon.
But it was this month that U.S. intelligence finally had enough information about his specific whereabouts that a raid seemed feasible to military planners, several U.S. officials tell CNN.

Whats the latest news on Benghazi ?
Other than further proof that we have an administration filled with pathological liars, Benghazi is just another non event which brings me to the point of saying anyone who supports this administration deserves exactly what they get. Killed by terrorists? Fuck you, you deserve it. Lost your job? I hope you never work again and become homeless. Insurance cancelled? Enjoy and long and painful death. If you voted for this marxist and continue to support him, then whatever horror the world has for you I hope you get it in spades.
Compassion for the enemy? Not gonna' happen. The left is the enemy. Those who support the leftist idealogy are the enemy. It's time to pick a side. I've seen what happens to people who try and remain neutral. They get killed by both sides. Nope, the time for negotaion has passed. It's time for in your face, no apologies, this is how it is politics. Wise the fuck up or perish. Period.
This last lie pushed it too far. The entire ACA is based upon a lie. There is video evidence for christs sake, yet they still deny the lie they told. Enough already. Millions will be screwed. The economy will suffer. The Dem party must be destroyed. The only out for America is a veto proof house and senate. That isn't going to happen with middle of the road campaigning. People need to be told and told in no uncertain terms that we are at the precipice of disaster. We can no longer afford the great experiment of leftism. It has failed and will take the entire country down. No more lofty platitudes about shining city's on the hill. We're past all that. It's time for war, politically speaking.
