U.S.-Approved Arms for Libya Rebels Fell Into Jihadis’ Hands

I don't care what the op said. I'm talking about what you said, which is that it doesn't matter that we're giving them weapons, because they were going to get weapons from somewhere.

That's not what I said. I said that using the origin of the weapons to apologize for the behavior (remember, "facilitated") is stupid. After all, the weapons were not intended for such purpose. Now,

First, the weapons used at Benghazi were not of those perhaps maldistributed by Qatar.
Second, Qatar gave the weapons to Libyans and their support - not Obama.
Third, to recap, there were no US weapons used at Benghazi and, if there were, they would not have come from Obama but from Qatar.

How we get from that to "Obama gave terrorists weapons" is beyond me. But here we are, with you condemning the US and blaming it for a terrorist attack based on stuff that didn't happen.

Are you a CT person?

The families of those murdered in Benghazi beg to differ

I don't think so. I think they understand the bigger picture. I think they understand that their family member(s) sacrificed for the betterment of this country and the world. In the fight for world freedom, there are many Americans who will sacrifice their life, that's just how we are - and we should be proud.

They're not uneducated scumbag Islamists that, via brainwashing, are incapable of looking at the big picture objectively. You can't use the "but how do the families feel" from that crap, terrorist apologizing argument and transfer it to this one. Americans and terrorists are not the same. Of course, we shouldn't put those Islamic morons down too much; after all, some westerners are unable to discern between collateral damage and murder - so cave-dwelling fundies are not the only idiots involved.
