Four of our bravest are perished due to lack of support. Does anyone have more accurate information than what I'm hearing on major news and talk shows?

There have been multiple investigations into it, the truth that we know if is that it wasn't an ordinary riot at originally told and that it was a planned complex terrorist attack. What we also know is that repeatedly senior officials were told that security was not adequate there. We rely on the forces of the host nation to protect our embassy and they were not doing their job.

I think the biggest thing that we need to do is make sure we have enough protection for all of our embassies and take responsibility for our actions. I am disappointed that there is just finger pointing on this issue. We don't know the full story it seems like because we are just covering up problems.

If one puts all the rhetoric and BS aside, the only fact I know is the date it happened, four Americans were killed, and the story changed too many times to know what the truth is. And Mrs. Clinton's "What does it matter?" will forever set in my gut like a brick.

And it happened in Benghazi, all other details are talking points.
