My Thoughts on Benghazi

Regarding the disaster in Benghazi, and of Clinton's "betrayal" of these men. I have read the book and seen the movie (13 Hours), and neither one does anything but reinforce the truth that the attack was a tragic snafu on the ground.

From the Ambassador traveling without much protection, to the guard that left him behind in the burning estate, and the harrowing attack that followed, it seems like the kind of FUBAR situation that develops when gunfire starts. You can't read accounts of low-scale skirmishes without tripping over similar stories.

Did Clinton pathetically try to spin the event after the attack? Yes. Do I think she (or Obama) are at fault for the tactical failure? No. There is no ammunition here to hold against her (outside the spin), and comments to the contrary are, respectfully, just partisan smoke.
