No, the real lesson of Benghazi is that this administration will not protect Americans abroad; not even a US ambassador.

The Ambassador was visiting from Tripoli. Given all of the circumstances surrounding conditions in Benghazi including the security wavier and the conclusion by the Country Team that the facility was indefensible and that they could not depend on the host government for protection, we should not have been there.

Billions of dollars have been spent on security for our diplomatic facilities abroad. But it all depends on the ability of the host government to come to your aid when under duress. If you cannot have such an assurance, you shouldn't be there period. That is the best defense.
