What Really Happened in Benghazi? Secret Agent Edition

On September 11, 2012, the US Embassy in Benghazi, Libya was attacked by Muslim extremists. 4 people were killed, including Ambassador Stevens. The true story of what happened has yet to emerge. That, coupled with the curious lack of response of Team Obama to this emergency, makes one quite suspicious. I have heard yet another possibility.
  1. Saudi Arabia (Sunni) is at war with Iran (Shia). Saudi Arabia sees the possible defeat of Syria under Assad as a way to defeat Iran.
  2. The Saudi Royal Family has pull within the US Dept of State. Under their influence, the US along with Turkey and Saudi Arabia supply aid to the rebels in Syria.
  3. The rebels shoot down a few Syrian jet fighters, and this makes the news. Team Obama, however, grows fearful that this clandestine aid, which does not have Congressional approval, is going to publicly backfire on them. CIA director Petraeus and Ambassador Stevens are assigned the task of tamping down the operations until after the upcoming presidential elections.
  4. Ambassador Stevens has a meeting with Turkish officials to make sure that this temporary suppression is understood.
  5. Elements of Turkish Intelligence is in contact with Sunni rebel groups, including ISIS. They leak word of this meeting. With detail of this meeting in hand, they attack the US Embassy where the meeting is being held.
Is this version true? GOK. Many accuse Team Obama of Machiavellian behavior, and this certainly qualifies. However, I find it difficult to believe that Team Obama has the intellectual horsepower to emulate Machiavelli.
