In reply to the discussion: Pic Of The Moment: U.S. Captures Terrorist Responsible For Benghazi Attack [View all]Nonhlanhla
(2,074 posts)30. Why does it even matter
I've never been able to understand what the big fuss is about. What difference does it make whether the perpetrators were inspired by the video or by something else? I don't understand why even the crazy Right think the motivation made such a difference that Obama would have lied about it. What do they think he could possibly have thought to gain from it? It seems to me that the only thing that matters is that sadly 4 embassy people died, and that it should be a lesson in taking more security measures in dangerous parts of the world. I just don't get the whole "scandal" around Benghazi.

OP
IMO the guy they "captured" is just a fall guy who was not the leader or instigator.
