  • Let's start with what actually happened on September 11, 2012.

    On September 11, 2012, a partially armed group of men stormed a US diplomatic outpost in the Libyan city of Benghazi. At the time, it was not clear who they were or why they'd attacked. But by the time the attack was over, four Americans, including US Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens, had been killed.
    The attack ended by the early hours of September 12. But it has echoed in Washington ever since. The controversy has centered on Republican accusations that the Obama administration did not take heed of intelligence warnings before the attack, that during the attack it refused to call in available military support, and that after the attack it deliberately covered up what had happened.
    Repeated independent investigations have disproven all of these allegations. But Republicans have continued to push them, insisting that these failures go all the way to the top, personally involving President Obama and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. They've done so partly out political expediency - they think it's a great way to attack Clinton's presidential campaign - and partly out of a genuine belief that the administration is covering up the truth.
    But regardless of the motivation, it's kind of paid off for Republicans: The House Select Committee on Benghazi, created by Speaker of the House John Boehner in 2014, found the first documented evidence that Clinton used unauthorized private email servers for State Department business, which became a major scandal. Unless Clinton is defeated in the Democratic primary, Benghazi will be around for the rest of the 2016 election - and if she wins, you'll likely be hearing about it for much longer.

      First off, at this point, multiple federal investigations have proven that the Democrats did nothing wrong, and last time I checked, the US Government > one single person. Second, while I can see what ground troops would have done, the one US-operated plane type based in Sicily that actually carried weapons was the P-3 Orion, an anti-submarine/patrol plane with no business taking on ground forces.

    The way how the CIA and the Obama administration mishandle this situation is disgusting. CIA personal delayed the rescue attempt for the US ambassador being attacked (The Special Ops had to break their leader's order on waiting so they can go rescue them) and the CIA badly scrutinized the narrative of the Benghazi attack. And what's so sad was how they found in the diary of the US ambassador that he had a gut feeling that he was going to be in the hit list of Al-Qaeda because he saw how their presence was growing in Libya. In which, they actually requested more security but were denied!
    And there was military presence nearby in Tripoli! The French had enough troops to intervene but our CIA/Dod/President didn't ask our allies for intervention.

    Question: How the f*** do you know how long a siege is going to last? The correct response is to get reaction forces (QRF) moving in that direction as soon as you know there's an attack in progress; they can always be recalled. Total BS.
    And the guys from the Annex disobeyed orders when they left the annex to defend the civilians at the consulate.
    My opinion is that they wanted this to go away, be swept under the rug. It was a contentious reelection campaign and Obama didn't want have to answer for a US property attacked by Muslim radicals on a 9/11 anniversary on his watch.
    Those 4 deaths were casualties of a person's political ambitions.

After the event that happened in Benghazi I remember we saw it on the tv but I didn’t know how big it was until the next Saturday when I didn’t see him , till this day when we meet up with our old head coach and a political topic about America pops up my coach never forgets to mention him , he was a good guy

We must learn from our mistakes instead of deny the tragedies or place the blame on others. It is unhealthy to hold a grudge now since blaming others will not bring back the dead. Must we forget it happened? No, we must not, but we can't keep bringing it up too often because we feel spite towards others.

    One of the true tragedies was no help was on the way. CIA operatives in the area defied a stand down order to assist, allies with closer assets were not asked to help, the Obama Administration lied about the entire situation as they watched it go down via drones flying overhead. It was a defining moment and the Ambassador and his staff were abandoned. Politics and political expediency overruled the human aspect of it all. Obama’s leadership and Hillary were abject failures in a bad situation and purposely lied to coverup their failures. We expected them to try. Attempts at a rescue should have been on the way even if they were later stopped. I wonder what they said to the Ambassador, hold out as long as possible, we are doing all we can, whatever they said, they should have told him the truth, you were valued and had a life well lived, you and staff are on your own. Goodbye.
