Dark conspiracies? No. Efforts to cover up failures due to incompetence or just an outright lack of concern? Yes.
Something could have been done, support or rescue missions at least attempted. Would anything like that have ultimately been successful in keeping our people alive? No one will ever know. But at the very least the effort should have been made to help our citizens when they were in trouble. But nothing was done, not a damn thing. Someone should be held accountable for that.
And that LAST PART is what has always bugged me about this event.
Alan Colmes, on Fox News always whined
"where's the scandal?" when the subject was discussed. Colmes, famous for making up strawman arguments, always somehow kept
missing the point.
Perhaps the "scandal" was the attempt to "dismiss" a terrorist attack as a "protest gone awgly" over some dumb youtube video that supposedly insulted Islam.
Who called off the military rescue? Why? Remembering that during the event, they had no idea how long the event would last so claiming they did not have the time is 20-20 hindsight reasoning. Or excuse-making.
Tring to access thar sight gave me a blank white page with a header .... so I guess nothing new was really learned, or learnable.
Sorta like asking why did Custer lose the Battle of the Little Bighorn?
"Because the Indians won." Yea .... sorta figured
that.
