Ricks and his fellow travelers will declare his attack on Fox to be a great victory, much like the towel heads who got their butts kicked recently by Israel. Expect them to begin firing their guns into the air, ululating all the while.

Ricks is a product of the Wash post for whom he writes too I believe. The press is not interested in Benghazi period and nothing is going to change that notion because it shows the incompetency of His Excellency.

However, I think we need to look at this incident away from his body of work. He has been extremely accurate in his assessment of our senior military leadership beginning in Vietnam and moving forward. Frankly his view of some of our senior general officers is not far removed from mine. Someone better listen up soon or we will not be in a position to defeat any second tier nation. He has noted that not since Korea has one general been relieved due to incompetence in battle....something that happened often during the past so much so that the comparison is startling.
He also believes Iraq would have been a bigger disaster had it not been for a fine corps of junior officers and a slew of competent NCOs, an interesting observation.
