Doctor Dorothy Woods, widow of fallen American hero Tyrone Woods, reminds us that what happened at Benghazi goes way beyond partisan politics. Americans fighting for their lives were denied military support, their requests for assistance falling on deaf ears, and there has still been no satisfactory explanation as to why. Ordinary Americans, whenever they have an opportunity, should ask Hillary Clinton what happened, since the Clinton supporting media refuses to do its job.
I believe, based on information from former military, intelligence and special operations insiders, that the Benghazi fiasco was a WH deal to have the Ambassador taken hostage and traded for the blind sheik, but it went south and the Ambassador was killed. After twice watching the film “13 Hours” which is based on the testimony of the men who engaged the enemy in the firefight to protect those at the compound, I get the distinct feeling that no one was to make it out of there alive so there would be no witnesses. However these men fought so tenaciously that the WH was afraid that by holding up support any longer would raise too many questions, they finally gave the word to go ahead with the rescue. This why so many of both parties want Hillary elected at all cost. She is the only one that can make this all go away.
Why in the world would the White House have wanted to give up the blind sheik? How could they be sure the Ambassador wouldn’t be simply killed as was the case? How in the world would they have had the authority to trade someone currently serving a life sentence?
None of that makes any sense. The truth is that the White House had nothing to do with the attack, was completely caught flat footed by it, made up the video story to fit into their election year meme that the War on Terror was won and over, and delayed sending help partially due to the State Department’s concern over diplomatic niceties. (Marines who were ready to be sent to Benghazi changed in and out of uniforms four times as the State Department dithered as to whether they should be in uniform or civies.)
If the Democrats had even a speck of patriotism, they’d be interested in
finding out why events went so sideways at Benghazi. Instead, we
see them complaining that the investigation is a partisan witch hunt as
they circle their wagons around their own.
.
Regardless of anyone’s party affiliation, the only correct response to the
events at Benghazi is a burning desire to understand what went wrong
in order to prevent any future repetitions. Instead, we get Democrats
cheering Hillary as she so cynically asks “at this point, what difference does
it make?”. That’s not the attitude of someone who wants to safeguard the
lives of our diplomatic corps and our military overseas. Rather, that’s the
attitude of someone whose #1 priority is their own political career.
This is the first one.

Another one should be constructed and placed on the Mall in D.C. as a tribute to the brave men and a reminder to Government official’s that anything less than professionalism will not be tolerated!
Especially Secretaries of State.
Don’t you wonder what the British knew aboutthe goings on there?
I apologize for not making it clear that the scenario I put forth was speculation. However; I did not pull it from thin air and that I should have made clear also. Here is a link to an interview with Retired 4 Star Admiral James Lyon who with in days of the attack made the speculation that the real purpose was to kidnap the Ambassador and exchange him for the Blind Sheik. There are others who have speculated the same thing but their info was 2nd and 3rd hand. This link is to a direct interview with the Admiral.

The Admiral I think is far gone in senility, and I say that as someone who would put little beyond the current administration. He has no evidence to support his wild speculation.
