GOP Rep. Reveals Why He Believes the Benghazi Attack and U.S. Policy on Syria Are Likely ‘Intimately Related Issues’

Whatever the State Department and CIA were doing in Benghazi likely “had a direct connection to U.S. policy in Syria,” Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.) said Monday evening.

During a discussion on the “unanswered questions” surrounding the Benghazi terror attack, the GOP congressman suggested that the State Department and CIA could have been stockpiling weapons for Syrian rebels when the U.S. compound came under attack on Sept. 11, 2012.

“Were these rebels being armed with weapons collected in Benghazi? Again, there is reason to believe this may be the case and a clear explanation is warranted,” Wolf asked, according to a copy of his prepared remarks obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Because Congress is currently debating aiding Syrian rebels with military strikes against the Assad regime, Wolf says it is “more important than ever that the Congress understand U.S. support and assistance to Syrian rebels and either groups responsible for the American deaths in Benghazi may have been at the same time benefiting from U.S. assistance in Syria.”

He went to say that Congress needs more answers on Benghazi before it can make an “informed decision” on a military strike against Syria.

“The two [issues] are intimately related and may [have] a direct bearing on U.S. national security,” Wolf added.

The Virginia lawmaker suggested holding a public hearing with former CIA Director David Petraeus and current Director John Brennan.
 
I haven't heard any real evidence that this could be so. However, it's entirely possible and so being objective and honest about it I won't put it down completely.

I tend to think though that the Benghazi issue has fizzled out and it's mostly desperation on the right's part to save face for Romney's fuck up on the issue. It's now of relatively little importance and won't do Obama any harm. Much better to try to continue to attack him on this Syrian issue. At least up until the right has to start supporting it in numbers to make it happen with the US congress.

I will ignore your statement about it not being important, It happened, It shouldn't have, someone has the answers, but many are being threatened with their life and the lives of their families not to testify. I do not know exactly what happened, but I would love to know why no one can account for the President during the time those four brave Americans were killed. I want to know where the stand down orders were given and why, why Clinton ignored the desire for more security. Something stinks, and I don't care what it takes to get to the bottom of it.
