Very few articles mention that “[t]he deaths occurred after a powerful storm and heavy floods led to the collapse of two ageing dams, which released a swollen fast-moving river that simply washed away at least one neighbourhood.”

(The Guardian, from which I quoted this, must have had some sort of communications breakdown: no mention of being caused by climate change!)

And people in politics ask "how can I enrich myself and my interests with this disaster?"

I'm somewhat ashamed of my country because of its leadership, not because of its occupants.

Wow, interesting story. I agree with your assessment. He was not a good man but as someone else told me, he kept the really bad guys in line. There seems to be only a few who are in a place of leadership who actually care about others.

It created a vacuum. I interviewed a lady who was in Benghazi the day before the attack and was on the Benghazi committee. She said there were three, separate attacks that night. The first was the kidnapping attempt on the ambassador, the next two were opportunity attacks. Most people don’t know that the reason the ambassador was in Benghazi was in preparation for Hillary to travel to Libya to take a victory lap. They didn’t want the ambassador there let alone her due to the political instability after the Khaddaffi assassination.

The folks that got the Americans out of Benghazi & then Libya were all Khaddaffi loyalists.

I thought he was there organizing shipments of looted Libyan Army weapons to our newfound Al Qaeda friends in Syria trying to take down Assad?

That may have been other reasons but Hillary wanted credit for killing Khaddaffi. The Benghazi survivors were upset Stevens had been sent. He had come to Libya before he was ambassador & under cover so the folks there had a lot of respect for him & knew as an ambassador he would be a target.

All of this is in the report Trey Gowdy wrote.
