1). We don't have an embassy in Benghazi and we have never had an embassy in Benghazi- we had a CIA operations house in Benghazi with the cover of being an embassy facility.
2). On the day that the attack in Benghazi took place, several embassies around the middle east and north Africa were attacked as a reaction to a ridiculously blasphemous video produced in America.
3). Initially, we believed the violence in Libya to be associated, but came to find there were other catalysts to blame in Libya- namely; insurgents loyal to Khadaffi and al Queada sympathizers, who had been tipped off by Libyans we believed to be allies.
4). The operation in Libya, arming and assisting anti-Khaddafi rebels as well as pro-western Egyptians, was a classified, secret operation, so we opted to be evasive when the GOP members of the House tried to expose the operation for partisan, political reasons.
5). Rather than expose the operation, and goal that these four patriots had died trying to execute, we chose a benign cover story. Now the GOP has exposed a secret, American mission and endangered Americans serving overseas.
The End.
