THIS FLAP ABOUT BENGHAZI IS A LITTLE BIT NUTS....
CAN A DEMONSTRATION BECOME A TERROR ATTACK...?
OR...CAN A TERROR ATTACK MASK ITSELF AS A DEMONSTRATION...?
IN MOST PARTS OF THE WORLD...PROBABLY NOT...IN LIBYA ON 911...YES...
AND MORE IMPORTANTLY...WHAT DIFFERENCE WOULD IT MAKE NOW...?
LIBYA HAS NO REAL GOVERNMENT NOW ...
THERE ARE ARMED MILITIAS THAT ARE RUNNING THEIR NEIGBORHOODS...AND THESE PEOPLE ARE ARMED WITH POWERFUL WEAPONS SECURED FROM THE KADDAFI ARSENALS AFTER THE FALL OF THAT GOVERNMENT...
SO SOMEONE WITH AN RPG OR LARGE GUN...CAN MORPH FROM AN ANGRY DEMONSTRATOR TO AN ATTACKER...ALMOST INSTANTLY...
NOW CONGRESS WANTS TO "FIND OUT" WHEN THAT TRANSITION OCCURRED IN BENGHAZI...! THAT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DO...AND IS REALLY MEANINGLESS...
HERE'S THE TRUTH...THE US AMBASSADOR SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN BENGHAZI WITHOUT TAKING PROTECTION...
IT WAS HIS CALL TO BE AT THE "WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME"...UNFORTUNATELY.
WHY THE AMBASSADOR DID WHAT HE DID ...WE WILL NEVER KNOW...MAYBE HE HAD ASSURANCES FROM SOME MILITIAS THAT IT WAS SAFE FOR HIM TO BE THERE... BUT THERE ARE MANY MILITIAS...
SO DANGEROUS CROSS CURRENTS WERE AFOOT...
IN SHORT...THE AMBASSADOR SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF HIS SURROUNDINGS...AND ACTED IN HIS OWN SELF DEFENSE AND GOTTEN OUT OF BENGHAZI EARLIER...
THAT IS ALL 20-20 HIND SIGHT...AND WE TEND NOT TO "BLAME THE VICTIMS" FOR THEIR FATE...
BUT THE BEST PERSON ON THE GROUND TO ASSESS THE SITUATION WAS THE NOW DEAD AMBASSADOR... AND HE MISSED THAT CALL...
MISTAKES HAPPEN...AND SOMETIMES BAD THINGS HAPPEN ...AND NO ONE IS TO "BLAME" EXCEPT THE PEOPLE WHO DID THE ATTACK...
LIKE A SHOP KEEPER IN A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD... AMBASSADOR STEVENS "ASSUMED THE RISK" OF HIS LOCATION...
AND HE PAID THE PRICE FOR HIS MISTAKE...OR SIMPLY HIS BAD LUCK...
SOMETIMES SHIT JUST HAPPENS...
