(39,909 posts)The US Embassy in Benghazi is a "backwater embassy" that was a front for the CIA.
They were trying to collect "intelligence" and eliminate AlQueda (Black Flag) Radical Muslim leadership that we put in power by "removing" Qaddafi,
and not doing very well.
We DO know that the CIA was involved with the embassy in Benghazi (if not running the whole thing), and undoubtedly, these Out-of-Control-Rambo-wannabes were running "Black Ops" out of the embassy in Benghazi.
The attack on the embassy in Benghazi was BLOWBACK....guaranteed.
Take it to the bank.
There are 294 US Embassies in the World.
The The Main US Embassy is in the capital of Libya which is in Tripoli.

I don't expect Obama or Hillary to supervise or even know about every single one.
..just my .02 after observing US "Intelligence" operations in the Middle East for over 50 years.

Poor decision by the Obama administration.

(7,393 posts).... during the Bush administration?
They hypothesized about the video inciting the violence because it WAS inciting the violence on the exact same day in Cairo, and the press asked them about it.
Personally, I am with Clinton on this. Who frigging cares why they did what they did? That is what terrorists do. Anybody ask or care why Tim McVeigh killed all those people in OK city? How about Dylan Roof? Anybody give a shit why he shot up a church full of AA people?

(7,393 posts)Very generous of you.
But here is the thing - the Democratic party has better things to do than waste taxpayer money on partisan bullshit. Obviously the GOP thrives on that shit and has for decades.

(7,393 posts)This site is designed to support Democrats, not excuse GOP faux scandals. You might have made a wrong turn someplace. Huh?

(7,393 posts)And suggest that there are other sites on the internet more sympathetic to blaming Democrats for the actions of terrorists. Have a nice day.

(82,383 posts)People will speculate on things when they first happen. Look for motives of terrorists. Why is that so inherently bad that anyone who does so must be blamed over and over?

(82,383 posts)Anything bad happens and the media looks for scapegoats other than the actual perpetrators.
