I disagree with your issues that you brought up:
a) the administration has lied from the start about the incident.
b) totally inadequate security to protect ...
c) the armed Libyan guards.. who were inside the compound fled ..
d) not even enough US security presence at the consulate ..
e) that security at the consulate was not increased even though it had been bombed ..
f) the only assistance the Embassy could provide was EIGHT CIVILIAN security contractors to go rescue them.
No sir ! That is NOT the scandal, to my mind.
It is the admitted fact that while our embassy and staff were under armed attack , the COMMANDER-In-CHIEF chose to go to SLEEP !
then he lied
then the media matters spin and issued talking points to the main stream media (false story)
then the main stream media spued the spin to the public (false story)
then the ambassador to the UN repeated (the false story) on TV network appearances .
The real scandal is that the commander-in-chief needed to sleep so that he would be alert for fund raising while America and its’ representatives were under attack.
Well, you also have a point. My point is this was a failure on so many levels that to me it rises to the point of criminal negligence on the part of whomever was responsible for making sure we had adequate security in Libya. That chain of responsibility goes from Hillary to Obama, they both are culpable for the deaths of these four and should be punished accordingly. Voting Obama out of office is not sufficient imho.
