And who initiated/ facilitated the arming of these rebels? Many will argue Chris Stevens via the US Benghazi mission. I cannot for the life of me understand why so many who are actually engaged with exposing the Benghazi cover up stop dead never saying a peep about the US running guns.
Beck is practically alone on this with a handful of people like Sen Rand Paul, check out the article below by Business Insider..

It’s Time To Discuss The Secret CIA Operation At The Heart Of The Benghazi Scandal
by Michael Kelley and Geoffrey Ingersoll | BI
In eight months since an attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi left four Americans dead, a Republican-led investigation has focused on potential missteps by the White House — and come away with nothing significant.
There has been little attention given, however, to covert actions by the Central Intelligence Agency that were partially uncovered during the September 11, 2012 attack.
That may be changing.
CNN’s Jake Tapper argued this week that we should give more scrutiny to the CIA’s presence in the Libyan port city.

Armed Libyans followed them and attacked the annex with rockets and small arms from around midnight to 1:00 a.m., when there was a lull in the fighting.
Glen Doherty, a former Navy SEAL and CIA security contractor, was with a team of Joint Special Operations Command military operators and CIA agents in Tripoli at the time of the attack. When they received word of the assault on the mission, Doherty and six others bribed the pilots of small jet with $30,000 cash for a ride to Benghazi.
At about 5:15 a.m., right after Doherty’s group arrived, the attackers began shooting mortars at the annex, leading to the death of Doherty and fellow former Navy SEAL and CIA contractor Tyrone Woods.
At 6 a.m. Libyan forces from the military intelligence service arrived and subsequently took more than 30 Americans…read more
