The Benghazi 9/11 Questions - Special Operations Speaks (SOS)
“We want the Truth! We are going to get to the bottom of Benghazi.”
Published on Mar 21, 2013
This video is dedicated by Special Operations Speaks to the four Americans who were left to die and who gave their lives in service to our country in Benghazi, Libya, on that horrific night of September 11, 2012.
We must not allow their sacrifice to be forgotten by our nation or to be ignored by anyone involved for personal political gain. The dark lies, the fabricated cover-ups, and the egregious lack of leadership at the highest levels of our government must be revealed under the brilliant and unfailing lamp of TRUTH.
We owe that truth to the American people and especially to the families of our fallen comrades.
Where was the Commander-in-Chief when we had the crisis in Benghazi and lost four American lives?
Why didn’t Obama take charge?
What was he doing?
Who was calling the shots?
Who gave the order to stand down?
Why haven’t we heard from the survivors?
Why were our air assets (located nearby in Sicily) not employed to assist the beleaguered Americans in Benghazi?

An Internet Autopsy: How did Ambassador Stevens Die?
Stevens
was the personal representative of the President of the United States.
The rupture of that personal relationship is the great shame of
Benghazi…To overlook his brutal death and betrayal is to overlook an injury to the nation and its citizens.

According to a CBS News/AP story,
posted on the Internet (September 12, 2012, 10:37 AM), US ambassador to
Libya Christopher Stevens died of “severe asphyxia,” sometimes referred
to as smoke inhalation. It was reported to the media by a Libyan
doctor, but was not an official autopsy report. In spite of this unofficial report, most Americans believe the ambassador was murdered.
To date, no official cause of death has been released.
The results of an autopsy done on Stevens’ body after it was returned
to the United States, has not been made public. In spite of that, rumors
still persist that Stevens was tortured and raped before and after his
death.
Grim
photos of Stevens after the terrorist attack at the Benghazi mission
are posted on the Internet. Most of them seem to have been taken with
cell phone cameras. It is difficult to determine from this photographic
evidence what happened to Stevens. Severe asphyxia is not readily photographed.
If
we look at four of these photographs with a critical eye, we notice
some unusual details that cause us to question the official explanation.
The four photos at issue are labeled thusly:
- Stevens on the ground.
- Stevens on his back.
- Stevens being carried through the street.
- Stevens at a Benghazi morgue.
The
photo of Stevens seemingly on the ground with his T-shirt under his
armpits is most interesting (#1). Stevens’ face and stomach look to be
covered in soot. There is what looks like a red gash on the left side of
his forehead. This wound does not show up in any the other photos of
Stevens after the attack. It is not seen in the photo taken of his body
in the Libyan morgue. Was the body cleaned of evidence while the doctors waited for the Americans to claim it?
It’s
hard to tell just what is happening here. Most intriguing is that man
with a cell phone in his mouth. Wouldn’t he put the phone in his pocket
as you or I would do if we were suddenly called upon to help someone?
Whose cell phone is it? It may in all likelihood be Stevens’ phone, the
phone that was used to locate his body in the morgue.
The
MailOnline has a video that supposedly shows a man, later claimed to be
ambassador Chris Stevens, being pulled from the smoke filled “safe
room” following the attack at the Benghazi mission. Photo #2 is a screen
shot from that video.
“Libyans reportedly
shout ‘God is great!’ after finding out that Stevens is alive and
breathing. Another voice says, ‘He is still alive!’” It is difficult to
say who is being dragged in this dark video. It’s also hard to tell what
happened to Stevens after he was taken from the Benghazi mission based
on this photo.
A photo posted on the Gateway Pundit
(#2) shows what looks like the body of Stevens carried shoulder high.
It is striking that the body is almost naked. You have to wonder if this
were your injured brother, would you take him to the hospital that way.
This photo has been used to fuel the rumor that Stevens was raped and
tortured.
Then there is the question of Stevens’ collar injury. The ConservativeTreeHouse.com
claims this injury is evident in the photo they posted (#3). The body
seems dressed in the same shirt and pants as the body in the other
photos, but there are signs of blood by Stevens’ right shoulder. There
is also a hand on the left of the photo taking another cell phone photo.
Why all this attention to getting pictures of Stevens? How does this
help an injured man?
Finally, there is a video
supposedly taken at a Benghazi morgue that purports to show the body of
Stevens waiting to be claimed. The last photo (#4) is a screen shot
taken from that video. The soot and grime evident in photo #1 looks to
have been removed.
What can we conclude from this Internet autopsy? The
photographic evidence leads us to question the explanation that
Stevens’ death was caused by smoke inhalation. There are just too many
possible wounds on Stevens’ body for that explanation to be the whole
story. Smoke inhalation usually does not leave a wound on the
forehead or shoulder that miraculously heals itself in a Benghazi
morgue.
Until the official autopsy results are released to the public we are left to wonder how Stevens died at Benghazi. The White House has repeatedly claimed his death was the result of a protest to a video insulting to Islam. We know this explanation is a lie.
A
rumor of rape and torture will persist until proven otherwise. Like
most of the facts surrounding the Incident at Benghazi, it is hard to
see the truth through the darkness and the smoke.
When
we look at these grim images we must remember that they show how a
representative of the United States of America was abused. Christopher
Stevens was a US ambassador. To overlook his brutal death and betrayal is to overlook an injury to the nation and its citizens.
Beyond
that, ambassador Stevens was the personal representative of the
President of the United States. The rupture of that personal
relationship is the great shame of Benghazi.

An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
