8 Looks like that's an autographed photograph...a real collector's item. Maybe take it to Pawn Stars and find out what it's worth.

You know, with today's technology, an 8x10 glossy photograph like that could be blown up to a full sized poster without losing resolution. That's be an interesting project.

9 In other news, interesting F6 Benghazi posting on X:

"Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to secretly retrieve US made Stinger Missiles that the State Dept had supplied to Ansar al Sharia in Libya WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission.

Sec State Hillary Clinton had brokered the Libya deal through Ambassador Stevens and a Private Arms Dealer named Marc Turi, but some of the shoulder fired Stinger Missiles ended up in Afghanistan where they were used against our own military.

On July 25th, 2012, a US Chinook helicopter was downed by one of them. Not destroyed only because the idiot Taliban didn't arm the missile. The helicopter didn't explode, but it had to land and an ordnance team recovered the missile’s serial number which led back to a cache of Stinger Missiles kept in

Qatar by the CIA....." Read the rest at the link, there are very inflammatory assertions made about motives and behaviors!

Marc turi

**Marc Turi** is an American arms dealer who was charged in **2014** with illegally brokering weapons shipments to Libyan rebels during the 2011 civil war, despite a United Nations arms embargo. His defense argued that he was acting under the direction of the **CIA** and **State Department** to circumvent the embargo, and that he was being scapegoated for a covert operation that ultimately went wrong.

The Obama administration’s **Department of Justice** dropped the charges against Turi in **October 2016**, just days before his scheduled trial on Election Day. Turi and his legal team asserted that the charges were dismissed because proceeding with the trial would have exposed **Hillary Clinton**’s role in the arms deals and revealed that U.S.-approved weapons had fallen into the hands of extremist groups like **ISIS** and **Al-Qaeda**. The case ended with a consent agreement where Turi agreed to refrain from engaging in ITAR-regulated activities for four years, without admitting guilt.
