Okay, pop quiz: Prior to last month, who here even knew what country Benghazi was in much less that it was a thing that was?Stark wrote:I wouldn't mind seeing this shift back to Benghazi and how that was handled. Moving beyond word play with "terrorist act" vs "acts of terror." How does this look good for the President? Why does it seem that nobody involved is on the same page (ie. Rice, Clinton, Carney, Obama)? What is the reason for going to LV for a campaign event, rather than investigating? I'm hoping we hear more answers surrounding this at the last presidential debate.
Intelligence is a weird thing. You can't just walk over to a computer and push the button to get "intel". In a country like Libya, everything we know or learn has to come through a network of informants and experts on the ground. A sudden development like the attack on our mission in Benghazi is not something that can be 100% understood right away, especially in the wake of wide spread Muslim protest over the "Innocence of Muslims".
So yes, it took the Obama administration a minute to figure out what was going on. Guess what? I took the Romney campaign some time, too.
