Almost all thoughtful observers agree that once our ambassador to Libya was attacked last year, there was nothing that could have been done to save him and his colleagues. The elite troops were too far away to make any difference. What Congress is “investigating” is the lack of preparation before the attack and the Administration’s explanation after the attack.
Interestingly, the Republicans who are criticizing the Administration are some of the same people who voted to cut funding for embassy security around the world.
The main purpose behind the Fox News/Republican ranting about Benghazi is to smear the Secretary of State at the time of the attack--Hillary Clinton. This is not about Libya. It’s about the 2016 Presidential race. It’s tiresome.
