Let me be clear. The nation’s understanding of Benghazi-gate remains fuzzy at best. We’re still experiencing this administration’s version of Chinese water torture as it slowly drips out information, one contradictory drop at at time. We’re more than six weeks on, and all we have are more questions.
For a president who constantly says, “Let me be clear,” none of this is clear. The Benghazi attack was the result of a video and a protest getting out of hand, then no, it was not. It was a spontaneous attack; no, it was planned. The President kind of, sort of, may have referenced the Benghazi attack as an “act of terror” in the 9/12/2011 Rose Garden speech, or he was referencing the attacks 9/11/2001. It’s not clear. To make that even more unclear was Ambassador Rice, just a few days after the President’s Rose Garden speech, saying that it was a spontaneous event in response to the video leading one to believe that the administration didn’t believe the 9/11/12 attacks were an act of terror. Of course this was again redressed when the moderator in the second presidential debate stepped in it and muddied the waters further.
