Rand Paul was right: Rifles, RPGs and missiles flowed from Benghazi to ISIS ports

BY BARBARA BOLAND | MAY 21, 2015 | 11:01 AM





The U.S. watched as rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, and missiles flowed from Benghazi to Syrian ports where they would become part of the Islamic State's arsenal of weapons, a Defense Intelligence Agency memo reveals.

Then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton denied any knowledge of this when Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky asked her about it during a Benghazi hearing in January 2013. Think Progress said Paul's questions were "pushing a conspiracy theory."

Paul: "My question is, is the U.S. involved with any procuring of weapons, transfer of weapons, buying, selling, anyhow transferring weapons to Turkey out of Libya?"

Clinton: "To Turkey? I'll have to take that question for the record. That's, nobody's ever raised that with me."

Paul: "It's been in news reports that ships have been leaving from Libya and that they may have weapons. And what I'd like to know is, the annex that was close by, were they involved with procuring, buying, selling, obtaining weapons and were any of these weapons being transferred to other countries? Any countries, Turkey included?"

Clinton: "Well, senator, you'll have to direct that question to the agency that ran the annex. And, I will see what information is available."

Paul: "You're saying you don't know?"

Clinton: "I do not know. I don't have any information on that."

The Oct. 5, 2012, DIA memo, penned before the Benghazi attacks, makes it clear that the U.S. was watching as weapons were transferred from Benghazi to two Syrian ports.

We are supplying weapons to ISIS by proxy. This should be obvious.

I was watching this video last night and in it Khamenei towards the end of the video talks about reports of U.S. dropping munitions to ISIS by "accident". But he says he got reports that this was done 5 times. "Accidentally 5 times?", he says.

He makes many good points, for instance why doesn't ISIS touch Israel or Saudi Arabia? And then Fox News will tell you Iran and ISIS are the exact same thing when Iran hates them and is really the only ones supporting Baghdad regime.

Lies, lies, lies, all day long. It's sad when I feel like I'm getting 10 times the truth from a fundamentalist Islamic Republic a-hole than I'm getting from the leader of the "free" world.
