The rumor on the street is that the Bengazi scandal involves illegal gun running across the Turkish border to aid the Syrian led rebels. Rumor has it that the Ambassodor who was killed was the point man and that he was targeted as a result.
I don't really want to get into the evidence for whether this is true or not, because quite frankly I don't think the evidence will ever be found. Simply put, if it is true then more than likely both parties are involved, which means that anyone coming forward to rat them out will have not support whatsoever from either party. I say this because I know that there is an attitude in Washington that anyone but Asad in power is more desirable. Whatever. I also say this knowing that the government has a history of doing this. just like Iran/Contra.
So my thread is mostly about assuming this is true. Guns were being run across the Syrian border and those pulling the strings were in Bengazi. If so, was the government justified knowing that Asad is the monster that he has been shown to be?
