Having visited with two people directly involved with Benghazi, I believe it was more incompetence & CYA.
Example, a military flight with special forces was dispatched and over the course of the flight, they were instructed to change in and out of their uniforms a 1/2 dozen times.
Benghazi should be viewed as a success in individual ingenuity and NOT relying on government. Khadaffi loyalists got the Americans out of Benghazi and Libya, not government.
People have to remember that Amb. Stephens was in Libya prepping for a November Hillary trip so she could take a victory lap for deposing Khadaffi.
They told me Stephens was the real deal and that he had gotten in and out of Libya several times in secret via boat before he was ambassador. They were upset that a guy who put everything on the line was left to twist in the wind.
The lesson to every American should be that you’re on your own and reliance on government to save your ass is a farce.
Excellent info and greatly appreciated. This is similar to what I have heard from another that was involved. We have very few true American Patriots in the high ranks of govt these days, it started in the 1960’s.
