Uncle Sam's open support for jihad is an epic scandal that is never even acknowledged.
Farenthold [Congressman-Rep-Texas]: "Were you aware of any ties by that militia to Islamic extremists?"
Nordstrom: "Absolutely. Yeah, we had that discussion on a number of occasions, the last of which was when there was a Facebook posting of a threat that named Ambassador Stevens and Sen. (John) McCain, who was coming out for the elections. That was in the July (2012) time frame. I met with some of my agents and also some (CIA) annex personnel and we discussed that."
More news: Nordstrom seems to be saying that the February 17 Martyrs Brigade actually threatened both the U.S. ambassador and a U.S. senator -- and still served as U.S. security guards. This is shocking to read in black and white, although, again, when it becomes clear that Uncle Sam supported the same, exact jihad in Libya that al-Qaida supported, it makes -- if not sense exactly, then certainly a pattern.
Farenthold: "Mr. Hicks, you were in Libya on the night of the attack. Do you believe the February 17 militia played a role in those attacks, was complacent in those attacks?"
Hicks: "Certainly, elements of that militia were complicit in the attacks. The attackers had to make a long approach march through multiple checkpoints that were manned by February 17 militia."
More news: Most media accounts identified al-Qaida-linked Ansar al-Sharia ("Supporters of Sharia") as the militia manning the checkpoints around the compound that horrible night.
