It is believed a better military response could have been put forth. That came from the very first study conducted by Admiral Mullens who was the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
Admiral Mullens has an untarnished reputation. He also was the one military leader who went to Pakistan to speak to the President about the Haqqani network. It was the first time the Haqqani network was as much a problem as the Taliban. He went to Pakistan and spoke the unspeakable. He put his life on the line to bring a vital message to a dangerous place that the USA is not happy with any of the terrorist groups in the region. Up to that point Haqqani got a pass. They no longer are excused from sharing the instability in the region. Admiral Mullens did that.
I've always admired him. When he spoke to the public while war was raging he pulled no punches and told the truth. A rare quality. When he filed his findings on Benghazi I had complete confidence in his committee's work. Why? Because he loves this country.
How many inflammatory and political committees came after that? Eight? 19? Or was it 64 like the vote on the Affordable Care Act? CONGRESS HAS NO REPUTATION THAT UPHOLDS THEIR WORK. They are nothing but political hacks that waste the time of people working for the USA government at the cost of millions to the American taxpayer. I want the RNC and the individual campaigns to pay back those millions of WASTED dollars to the USA treasury.
The final committee of the USA House came back with the exact same findings as the work by Admiral Mullens and his committee. They should be ashamed of themselves.
I am not going to apologize to Patricia Smith due to the death of her son. She is doing exactly what the Congress did in regard to Benghazi. She took her son's dedication and honor and bank rolled it for the Republican Party. I've heard of opportunistic stardom, but, this is shameful.
