[quote=Zeitgeist]”The latest twist in the Benghazigate saga is a newly discovered, secret diplomatic cable. The document, sent two weeks before the Sept. 11 murder of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans, warned that the consulate building in Benghazi could not withstand a “coordinated attack.” It is yet another piece of evidence underscoring the Obama administration’s inability to respond to intelligence.”
Isn’t it possible that there are classified and political reasons for our not engaging the attackers? Like Allan mentioned previously, diplomats are often there for reasons that we have no knowledge about (intelligence and/or our attempts to control who governs a particular nation). Obama might not even know/have known what the real mission was in Benghazi.
The truth is that anyone who accepts an assignment like that knows full well what the risks are. I think this is being politicized and twisted into something it’s not. It is totally different from an attack on U.S. soil that kills thousands of innocent American civilians — the two are not even remotely similar.
