Personally, I have not followed this Benghazi thing that closely.
So I'm wondering if the overall picture I have is accurate:
So I'm wondering if the overall picture I have is accurate:
- Terrorists/someone attacked the US embassy in Benghazi. US embassy staff were killed, most notably the ambassador.
- Questions about how much warning we had, and our response to the attack, remain unanswered/partially answered.
- Accusations (specifically against Pres. Obama and Hillery Clinton, but also the state department in general) that we were warned, were aware of the ongoing attack, and did not send reinforcements when it was possible, have been made.
- Claims/suggestions were made that an inflammatory video posted online caused the attack. This video was later shown to be unrelated.
