Benghazi: 400 Anti-Aircraft Missiles Stolen

[AKguy1985]

Wow, just great news right there!

Not saying the Obama admin was not doing something with weapons in Libya, I just wish they knew what they were talking about when it comes to missiles, it would make the whole thing more believable. The Hellfire is not an anti-aircraft missile, not a ballistic missile, and not a shoulder fired missile. It is an aircraft launched, anti-tank missile but they are testing it being mounted on ground vehicles.

Setting up for the next false flag. We need a reason to go into Syria, and ultimately, Iran. They are merely planting the seeds right now.

If anyone here remotely thinks that these were stolen I have some ocean front property to sell you in Arizona.

And then there is this

Jihadists in Egypt's lawless Sinai Peninsula are using U.S. weapons to carry out attacks against the temporary government in the wake of the military's ouster of President Mohammed Morsi, according to the embattled nation's Interior Ministry.

The government office posted an official statement on its Facebook page along with images of an exploded missile that hit the third floor of a building in the city of el-Arish last week. The post said terrorist forces targeted the North Sinai Security Directorate office with a ballistic missile that struck the third floor facade of the building, leaving three soldiers injured. While attacks in the Sinai, which borders Gaza and is a haven for terrorist activity, have become commonplace, the prospect that militants have U.S. weapons typically fired from helicopters at their disposal is especially alarming.

Three photos of the missile posted by the government agency shows that it appears to be an AGM-114F with a label written in English and the letters “U.S.” stenciled on the side.

“If, and that is a big if, it was a AGM-114, as in the report, that's not a ballistic missile, which conjures Cold War images of something massive and long range, but a Hellfire, which is of the type carried on helicopters,” Peter Singer, of the Brookings Institute’s Center for 21st Century Security and Intelligence, told FoxNews.com.

So the question is, how long before a commercial airliner is brought down with one of these missiles?

Or maybe just a resort area in Israel?

JERUSALEM (AP) - The Israeli military shot down a rocket launched toward a Red Sea resort town near the border with Egypt on Tuesday, the army said.

It was the first time Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system successfully intercepted a rocket attack on the resort of Eilat, the military said. The incident came after days of heightened tension along the Egypt-Israel border.

The army said the rocket was intercepted early Tuesday and that there were no injuries. It didn't provide more details and declined to comment on the origins of the projectile.

An al-Qaida-inspired militant group based in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, Ansar Jerusalem, claimed responsibility for launching the rocket in an email to The Associated Press.

Why am I not surprised, I figured things like this would start to surface eventually. Especially with how hard Obama & company pushed the youtube video avenue. They wanted not attention directed at the attack, they wanted no investigation they couldn't control & they damn sure didn't want people who knew what was going on talking about it.

What is sad is the obvious writing on the wall for everyone to see yet it's still ignored by the masses.

This event stunk to high hell from the beginning. Missiles stolen is not surprising but 400 of them kind of is. 400 missiles would take some time, more time than I thought the embassy was "on their own".

 

[Dale00]

This administration directly approved the transfer of 400 stingers to Libyan rebels associated with Al Qaeda or actually Al Qaeda itself?? The simplest explanation is usually true and this makes sense out of the whole mess.

 

[ripnbst]

So are they Stingers or Hellfires? Now I'm really confused.
