The controversy surrounding Benghazi, Libya is not about the truth or improving the circumstances of our ambassadors, it is about politics.
There are members of the Intelligence Community in the USA that have openly stated, the TIMELINE, of the Benghazi uprising was in line with the idea the film caused violence. The Egyptian riot at the USA Consulate started hours before the Benghazi attacks.
Ambassador Rice was more than correct in her assessment of the situation with the information available to her and the speculation by USA intelligence as being unable to rule out the film as an impetus to the violence.
The fact there are organized militias in Libya allowed for what appeared to be al Qaeda, but, it has been proven to be something different. These militias, especially those of the extremists, were virtually unknown to global intelligence. They were spawned by the People's Revolution in Libya.
Previous to the recent violence in the Middle East, the Salafists were always known to be pacifists within the conservative religions. This is a drastic change in their priorities. They have never been political or violent.
The attacks by the right wing political animals in the USA is about the elections of 2016 and the fact there is a Clinton at the top of the State Department. It has absolutely nothing to do with the United States and national security. It was about destroying the legitimacy of Secretary Clinton and any future political aspirations even though she has said otherwise.
I know how these people work. The very high political directive of the Republicans is to destroy the brain trust of the Democrats and any other political opposition to their continued power grabs. Their attacks span decades, not simply within a political campaign for office.
President Obama needs to believe in his expertise and the people within his values for the USA. Ambassador Rice is every bit the qualified person she needs to be. She is well respected in the international community and brings a wonderful personality to her job. I encourage him to make the appointments and nominations he needs to for his new Cabinet. I am sure Secretary Clinton has her recommendations as well for her successor.
I wish all well and thank Secretary Clinton for her dedication to her country. If political aspirations are to be her future I hope she reflects on those possibilities and makes the best decision for herself, her family and her country.
We need the best, not just the politically acceptable.
