You do realize the only thing that would have saved the Ambassador would be having multiple airborne assets available to mow the grass for half an hour, don't you?

Funny that there's been 8 or 9 congressional investigations into BENGHAAAAAAZI! and they've found zip. I wonder why that is? Could it be there's nothing there?

The fact is that we'll never know, will we? You apparently wish to take solace in the fact that "nothing could have been done anyway". It certainly appears that DOD offered military support and believed they could get assets there in time to make a difference. But the most troubling aspect of this is that it doesn't appear that we even tried to get help in there.

But, as we've been told:

So, you are thinking that driving a nation in to chaos because you don't like the leader is a good idea.

You must have thought Bush was a genius.

I'll admit hindsight is 20/20 . But, one thing no politician can do is admit they made a mistake. And, no Hillary or Obama supporting zombie can admit they made a mistake either.

I supported Bush , but that whole Iraq deal was stupid.

That's the difference between me and some of the morons on this forum.
