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.

Benghazi - My Thoughts

The Libyan government, responding to the White House's claim that the embassy attack was merely a protest against an anti-Muslim film, not against a planned assault against the U.S. says Obama's stance is QUOTE  'completely unfounded and preposterous'. 

They state that is was an Al-Qaeda attack, *NOT* a protest.  Intelligence reports from the region warned of the likelihood of an attack days before it happened, the 'protesters' were armed with RPG's, U.S. uniforms, and detailed info about the location of American safe houses, and it occurred on 9/11. Meanwhile, a coordinated assault on a NATO base where Prince Harry is stationed happened on the same day. 

Quit the B.S, and have your lapdogs at CNN drop the smokescreen. We got stung, and stung badly, because the Obama policy of disengagement has emboldened what was once an enemy reduced to hiding in the shadows. PERIOD. 

And please, someone with a respect for the Constitution stop the full court press  against this filmmaker. His work didn't inspire violence, *a culture of intolerance and bloodshed did that*. 

I do not go around murdering people and rioting when Christians are mocked by as*holes like Bill Maher, or when sacrilegious crap like Dan Brown's entire body of work is on the NY Times Bestseller list. But it's the filmmakers fault when these 'protesters' murder and loot in their religion's name? 

Pathetic. Hypocritical. And Pathetic.
