Was the attack in Benghazi about weapons?

Thanks for the article Paul!

via Breitbart.

On August 12, Joe DiGenova, attorney for one of the Benghazi whistleblowers, told Washington D.C.'s WMAL that one of the reasons people have remained tight-lipped about Benghazi is because 400 U.S. missiles were "diverted to Libya" and ended up being stolen and falling into "the hands of some very ugly people."
DiGenova represents Benghazi whistleblower Mark Thompson. He told WMAL that he "does not know whether [the missiles] were at the annex, but it is clear the annex was somehow involved in the distribution of those missiles."
He claimed his information "comes from a former intelligence official who stayed in constant contact with people in the special ops and intelligence community." He said the biggest concern right now is finding those missiles before they can be put to use. "They are worried, specifically according to these sources, about an attempt to shoot down an airliner," he claimed.

This would explain so many things.  It would also bring up many, MANY more questions.  A couple of things....

*The Bush Administration was infatuated with the CIA and SOCOM.  The Obama Administration is following the same playbook.  The thought that while they waffled in public, they were running weapons through third parties to the rebels in Syria is totally believable.

*Again, the reliance on covert activities to further national goals is proven to be fraught with danger.  Don't get me wrong.  There is a place for covert actions...but it shouldn't be the main mover of policy.  During the Clinton time in the State Dept we've seen that agency lose more and more power to the Pentagon.  To be fair, that weakness started during the Powell era when he went head to head against Rumsfeld/Cheney and lost.  Ever since we've seen president's rely on military/intel agencies for diplomacy instead of the State Dept.  You want real reform?  You get the Pentagon out of diplomacy and you'll see instant money savings and a more robust foreign policy.

*The article mentions 400 missiles.  The fact that they give an exact number should be worrying.  Even if the correct number missing is half that, then you've got major problems.  A couple of anti-air teams outside an airport perimeter but in the landing pattern could cause chaos and several hundred lives.  This could be a major problem.

If and I mean IF this is true then things are pretty screwed up in our State Dept, Pentagon and Intelligence agencies.  We need a massive house cleaning 'cause we're being led by the gang that can't shoot straight.
