Has the White House covered up the Libyan attack?

Regarding the whole Libyan fiasco being discussed this morning. Imo, the administration lying to us is no longer the real issue. The real issue is 'why' would they go to so much trouble to lie about this.

I heard a short piece on the radio yesterday on Glenn Beck's show that he interviewed a former CIA officer (Clare Lopez) who said there is much more to this whole thing than we are being told. I dont care for Beck much anymore since he left Fox News, but this interview did catch my attention.

Apparently the Ambassador (Chris Stevens) had been appointed as official U.S. government liaison to Al Queda linked jihadist militias. So I decided to search for another source of info to see if this stuff was true.

So Business Insider.com reported on the 19th of Oct that murdered ambassador Chris Stevens—were at least aware of heavy weapons moving from Libya to jihadist Syrian rebels.

That website went on to say that the CIA had been funneling weapons and equipment to rebels in Southern Turkey. The question is did these weapons come from Libya?

In November 2011 The Telegraph reported that Belhadj, acting as head of the Tripoli Military Council, "met with Free Syrian Army [FSA] leaders in Istanbul and on the border with Turkey" in an effort by the new Libyan government to provide money and weapons to the growing insurgency in Syria.
Last month The Times of London reported that a Libyan ship "carrying the largest consignment of weapons for Syria … has docked in Turkey." The shipment reportedly weighed 400 tons and included SA-7 surface-to-air anti-craft missiles and rocket-propelled grenades.

Those heavy weapons are most likely from Muammar Gaddafi's stock of about 20,000 portable heat-seeking missiles—the bulk of them SA-7s—that the Libyan leader obtained from the former Eastern bloc. Reuters reports that Syrian rebels have been using those heavy weapons to shoot down Syrian helicopters and fighter jets.

The ship's captain was "a Libyan from Benghazi and the head of an organization called the Libyan National Council for Relief and Support," which was presumably established by the new government.

That means that Ambassador Stevens had only one person—Belhadj—between himself and the Benghazi man who brought heavy weapons to Syria.

Anyway it might be worth looking into this to see if there is a connection. Could this be why Ambassador Stevens was murdered? Were we funneling weapons from Libya to the Syrian rebels? And is this information that the Administration wanted to keep quiet?

In November 2011 The Telegraph reported that Abdelhakim Belhadj, acting as head of the Tripoli Military Council, "met with Free Syrian Army [FSA] leaders in Istanbul and on the border with Turkey" in an effort by the new Libyan government to provide money and weapons to the growing insurgency in Syria.

So in short, it looks like the US may have been gathering up and providing weapons to Abdelhakim Belhadj. Those heavy weapons are most likely from Muammar Gaddafi's stock of about 20,000 portable heat-seeking missiles—the bulk of them SA-7s—that the Libyan leader obtained from the former Eastern bloc. Reuters reports that Syrian rebels have been using those heavy weapons to shoot down Syrian helicopters and fighter jets.

The ship's captain was "a Libyan from Benghazi and the head of an organization called the Libyan National Council for Relief and Support," which was presumably established by the new government.

That means that Ambassador Stevens had only one person—Belhadj—between himself and the Benghazi man who brought heavy weapons to Syria.

So, if the US and Ambassador Stevens was providing these weapons to Syrian Rebels...who would want to stop this? (Most likely people allied with the Syrian govt). And would our President want to keep all this quiet in an election year?
