The Road to Syria--Obama Admin. KNEW Weapons Were Shipped from Benghazi to Syrian Rebels/Jihadists

DOD records obtained by Judicial Watch contain the first official documentation that the Obama administration knew that weapons were being shipped from the Port of Benghazi to rebel troops in Syria. The heavily redacted documents do not disclose who was shipping the weapons. Another DIA report, written in August 2012 (the same time period the U.S. was monitoring weapons flows from Libya to Syria), said that the opposition in Syria was driven by al Qaeda and other extremist Muslim groups: ā€œthe Salafist, the Muslim Brotherhood, and AQI are the major forces driving the insurgency in Syria.ā€ The growing sectarian direction of the war was predicted to have dire consequences for Iraq, which included the ā€œgrave dangerā€ of the rise of ISIS.
