What We Know of Benghazi

What has been learned so far is tragic, but also looks awful for Obama.

Three specific failures I see from the Obama administration on this:
(1) Despite repeated requests for better security in Benghazi, the administration denied these requests and actually reduced security personnel in the compound in the months before 9/11.  Obama left Ambassador Stevens and his staff vulnerable.
(2) Perhaps the worst thing is that the administration had real time communication with Benghazi personnel from the start of the attacks and even had a video feed from a drone during the attack.  Planes from nearby US bases could have been there in an hour or less.  The attack was going on for more than 7 hours.  No help was sent.  The President didn't even meet with his national security staff during this time, and flew off to Vegas for a fundraiser.
(3) The blaming by the Obama administration of the YouTube video as reason for the attacks when all information during and right after the attack ran counter to this, and even though we now know that the assessment within 24 hours of the attack was that it was a terrorist attack, is more than poor, confused, incompetent messaging by Obama and his team.  If, as it appears, he and his team were misleading the American people based on political consideration, Obama will have to answer to us for that.
