Wait.... Sohhhh, you think this was political? /s
um. Yes.
Why did they put the embassy there in the first place? It was not safe, the country was not stabalized.
—> They wanted to be seen supported the victors; they wanted Americans to see a foreign policy win
Why did they refuse it additional security?
—>It would tick off our “allies” and look as if we didn’t trust them, not such a foreign policy win after all.
Why didn’t we send help?
—>Hard to focus group in the middle of the night, besides Obama was tired.
Why did they blame a video?
—> Because Romney and Republicans were going hard core bashing the terrorists and they needed to show the country that the Republicans were wrong. Even if they weren’t. It only has to work until the election.
Everything about it was political
