Another congressional hearing on Benghazi, then. Will it reveal that we did not pay attention to our own intelligence suggesting an attack? I do not believe anyone in the administration knowingly let the attack take place, just blindly looked the other way. Were there signs that should have been heeded? We shall see what the inquiry reveals.
Is this hearing just one party playing the blame game? I do wonder but what it is. The deaths were a terrible thing. Yes, no doubt. But, I do not believe anyone in the administration knowingly accommodated them, though they might have made errors in judgement.
Did the administration try to pin the blame on the video? Perhaps. But, it appears there was, indeed, early reason to believe the attack was a response to the video. Did Obama try to make political hay with what he had Susan Rice say? Making political hay is not a good thing, especially when your premise quickly ends up wrong. But, it goes noted that the Republicans are doing the same, now, looking to make political hay.
Did information get classified that shouldn't have been? Yes, I wish that didn't happen. It happens all the time. That would be a good thing that could come out of the hearing, if by some chance we changed things up so things are not classified that ought to be open to the public.
But, are we trying to blame someone in the administration for the murders? Sometimes tragedies happen, and rather than turn on each other and blame each other, we should lament our common loss, for all of us are horrified at the murders..
I do wish we had found the murderers. I do hope we are still looking for them. I do wish we could bring them to justice.
