Benghazi Hoopla!

We all know what happen that day a couple of months ago in Libya…..our ambassador was killed with three others in Benghazi……and since that day both parties have run for the nearest mic to get in their political talking points…..a couple of them sound like bitter old men (another reason that these types need to retire at age 70)……..this whole bunch of crap just sounds like political positioning to me…..they ALL want answers….and there should be answers forthcoming….but to my mind….NO one is asking the questions that need to be answered……..

First, Benghazi is a consulate and not an embassy……I bring that up because security is handled differently (I say that basing it on what I experienced in the past, they may have changed)….okay now to the real questions that need to be answered……

1–Why was the ambassador in Benghazi without an adequate security detail?  The ambassador knows this area well and should have known that or been briefed on the volatility of the Eastern side of the country….militias refuse to disarm and that AQ is very active in this area……

2–Why were their two CIA agents that were unarmed with him?

3–Why was there not an adequate security detail on his flank?

We may NEVER know these answers…..why?  My best guess is that it was a top secret meeting and they were trying to show trust…….if so they learn nothing in Afghanistan when a doctor took out the top OBL team with one bomb……if you are gonna be stupid you have got to be strong…….

If the ambassador knew all the pitfalls before hand then what happened is on his head and his head alone……all this Benghazi hoopla is just that…..a lot of smoke….a lot of ginning up by the media….and political points trying to be made.

This whole situation is sad…sad that four Americans died……sad that it is turning into a political tennis match….sad that the running of the country takes a back seat to ambitions…..sad that it appears to be an exercise in stupidity……

This shows me that there is nothing gonna change in DC……..this is all partisan crap….even after all the positive news that both sides were gonna work together…….this illustrates that it is just the same as their campaign promises…..total bovine fecal matter………
