Benghazi in 2012 vs. Beirut in 1983: 4 Lessons Learned
Written by Najib

 

Tuesday’s congressional probe into the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya—yes, another one, the second so far in this young year—is the latest volley fired at the Obama Administration.

 

The report contends the Administration’s neglect allowed the attack, which killed four Americans, including U.S. ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens, to take place. “White House officials failed to comprehend or ignored the dramatically deteriorating security situation in Libya and the growing threat to U.S. interests in the region,” it concludes.

 

It’s not only the second report issued this year. It’s the second Benghazi report in a year whose lead author is Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, the California Republican who chairs the House Armed Services Committee. [Link]
