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

All good questions. It seems clear there was an elaborate weapons program underway but the crucial thing at the time was the reelection campaign. That is all the administration cared about - 110%. And they knew whatever cover story they came up with would be embraced by their friends in the media - exhibit A is Candy Crowley in the debate with Romney.

I think the YouTube lie was on standby in case anything flared up in the Arab world. Benghazi or elsewhere. Anyway, without a John Dean coming forward I don’t think this will bring down Obama.
