possibly...but to refuse security and actively draw it down in the face of known threats suggests more then incompetence.....What was the important mission in Benghazi that needed the ambassadors immediately on 9/11 no less....why were stand down orders given?... and why was the video hoax trotted out so quickly?....Seems it was a planned excuse known way in advance?....if I were planning a staged kidnapping, that's pretty much how I'd plan it....just saying
