*Were the U.S. Special Mission and/or the nearby CIA annex in Benghazi involved in any way in procuring weapons for the jihadist rebels fighting the regime of Bashar al-Assad of Syria or to any other rebels fighting in the Middle East or Africa?
*Ambassador Chris Stevens’s original role in Libya was to serve as the main interlocutor between the Obama administration and the rebels based in Benghazi. Was Stevens himself involved in recruiting and/or vetting jihadists or coordinating arms shipments to the gunmen fighting Assad’s regime in Syria or to any other rebels fighting in the Middle East or Africa? Specific questions for Hillary Clinton: *Because the U.S. Benghazi facility was so dangerous and did not meet the security standards set by the State Department, the Benghazi mission actually required special waivers in order to be occupied by American personnel. Such a waiver could have only been issued by you, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Did you issue this waiver? If so, were you adequately briefed on the glaring security lapses at the facility? If you was not fully briefed, how can you justify issuing this waiver?
*The decisions to deny guard towers and pull a special reaction team from the hot zone of Libya were made by some of your top deputies. We know you took particular interest in Libya, the lynchpin for the so-called Arab Spring. Were you yourself aware of these and other perplexing security decisions made by your deputies regarding the Benghazi compound?
* Not only were your deputies the ones who made central perplexing security decisions, they were also involved in drafting the now discredited talking points on the Benghazi attacks. Were you yourself involved with the talking points drafting?
*Did you know the attacks were coordinated jihadist assaults when you publicly blamed the attacks on an obscure YouTube video?
* Did you play any role in Stevens’s decision to go to the dangerous facility on the anniversary of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, a day when jihadists are particularly motivated to strike our country’s assets? According to congressional testimony by Gregory Hicks, the former State Department deputy chief of mission and chargé d’affairs who was in Libya at the time of the attack, Stevens went to the compound that day in part because you wanted to convert the shanty complex into a permanent mission in a symbol of the new Libya. Hicks said you wanted to announce the establishment of a permanent U.S. State Department facility during your planned visit there in December 2012. Apparently Stevens was up against a specific tight funding deadline to complete an extensive survey of the mission so the compound could be converted.
*The New York Times described you as one of the driving forces behind advocating a plan to arm the Syrian rebels. Were you involved in efforts to arms the Mideast rebels? Were any of these efforts centered in Libya? In the U.S. Special Mission in Benghazi?
*Did you mislead lawmakers when you claimed during her Benghazi testimony that you did not know whether the U.S. mission in Libya was involved in procuring or transferring weapons to Turkey and other Arab countries?
