In light of Tony Shaffer's revelations today, I think that this might be unrelated.
In light of all that is going on we in the Dolls club for crazy old Lady's have cooked up a conspiracy theory:
All started when one of most sane women asked if this could have been a scheme to get Obama in/ out of the white House and it went horribly wrong.
Someones saw a chance to get up to mischief because of a little known movie. Perhaps both sides went to work to stir their pot for their agenda.
We know Washington had prior knowledge of unrest and former attacks on our Embassy, Someone had to convince Obama that
there was little threat to the Embassy, had to convince his aids an his handlers that any problem was due to a stupid movie. So convincing were that that after 2 weeks or so the leaders still would not believe their own eyes or ears to any report on the contrary. Was it just a piece of tape that led to the Watergate cover up ???
Now I wonder where did the Drones come from, where were the launched from and who guided them to the Embassy that night ??? Why were they there if no one had received the Maydays from the Embassy ???
In something like this we watch the Military, who gets the boot or takes the blame. Who knows too much and how to keep them quiet. Who is transferred suddenly or takes an early out. Best to retire early then face an accident to themself and/or family.
You best believe that aircraft Carrier was not alone and by itself, they have escorts of everything from nuclear cruisers to subs.
