Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi

It has been over a year and a half since the attacks on our Diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya.  We are finally getting together an Investigative Committee to determine what happened?  Why did it take so long? Why do we not already understand what happened?

Quite honestly I blame both the Democrats and the Republicans.  The Republicans put together all these inquiries into it, but really didn't dig in and go after the answers.  They skirted around it and made a lot of accusations and raised many questions, but didn't go full bore into this to get answers.  Truly a majority of the blame has to lye at the feet of the Democrats.  They put politics ahead of the American People.  In the minds of many Democrats (Hillary Clinton included) what difference does it make. 

The difference it makes is pretty simple for anyone with an ounce of morals.  I believe that there were several mistakes made that led up to this attack.  I think we had the warning signs and could have prevented or in the very least given everyone a fighting chance.  We failed to do so.  Instead of owning up to those mistakes the decision makers in this case chose to try and hide those facts and/or defend their decisions.

Then we had the attack and the decisions that needed to be made during the attack.  Again, I believe that we made many bad decisions.  We failed to send help.  I believe that we should have done everything in our power to help those in need, even if by the time we got there it was over.  At the very least we could have said we tried.  Once again, instead of owning up to those mistakes and apologizing to the families, we tried to cover them up and justify them.

Now we come to the aftermath of the whole event.  We have decided to compound those many mistakes with a continuing stonewalling of the truth.  Instead of owning up to the many mistakes the powers to be have decided to lie, cover up and politicize the whole thing.

This is where the Democrats should be ashamed of themselves.  This should be a simple choice for them to make.  Go after the truth and learn from the mistakes that were made.  There should be no cover left for those that chose to put Politics and their own Careers over the lives of four Americans.

I am glad that there will finally be an investigation with some authority to get to the truth.  At this point, I think that everyone involved in the event that tried to cover and conceal it should now be brought to bear for the decisions they made.  This is no longer an own up to your mistakes kind of thing.  Every person that was involved in the events and chose to help cover for the decision makers needs to be held accountable to the fullest extent possible.
