Things happen and not all can be avoided- had the budgets NOT been cut by the congress might have more assets on the ground- people who sign up for these tours know its very volatile-- you are in enemy soil - anytime you travel out of the US you take a risk- especially if you are the one carrying the American flag- we are proud of the fallen but STOP trying to pin fault on one person. and DO NOT think higher powers in congress did NOT know what was happening- a pin does not drop that some committee is not aware of along with a slew of generals/ military heads

Absolutely 100 percent wrong. This would have been avoided if Hillary did not run guns. That is the reason those Americans died. Anything besides that is after the fact.
They ran guns and militants from the CIA compound. That's why it's called a ratline.
The local guards weren't trusted to carry firearms. Some of them were in on the plot to storm the villa and let the attackers into the compound.
Much of it has been reported before.
"Security practices at the diplomatic compound, where Blue Mountain guards patrolled with flashlights and batons instead of guns, have come under U.S. government scrutiny in the wake of the September 11 attack in Benghazi that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
Former guard Weeam Mohamed told the Citizens Commission on Benghazi “that at least four guards hired by Blue Mountain took part in the attack after opening doors to allow their confederates in.”
Some of the guards sustained injuries and said they were ill-prepared to protect themselves or others when heavily armed militants last month stormed the rented villa that was serving as the mission.
An obscure private firm hired by the State Department over internal objections to protect U.S. diplomats in Benghazi just months before the American ambassador and three others were killed was staffed with hastily recruited locals with terror ties who helped carry out the attack, multiple sources told Fox News.
The explosive charge against Wales-based Blue Mountain Group comes from several sources, including an independent security specialist who has implemented training programs at U.S. Consulates around the world, including in Benghazi, where he trained a local militia that preceded Blue Mountain. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Blue Mountain used local newspaper ads to assemble a team of 20 guards, many of whom had terror ties, after securing a $9.2 million annual contract.

"Many of the local Libyans who attacked the consulate on the night of Sept. 11, 2012, were the actual guards that the State Department under Hillary Clinton hired to protect the Consulate in Benghazi,” Tiegen told Fox News. “The guards were unvetted and were locals with basically no background at all in providing security. Most of them never had held a job in security in the past.
...
Stevens and his staff had made hundreds of requests for security upgrades but had been ignored by officials in Washington.
“We kept asking for additional support, including a 50-caliber mounted machine gun, but the State Department would not give it to us, because they said it would upset the locals,” the source told Fox News. “Instead, the State Department hired a company that doesn’t have employees, which then hired terrorists.”
...
“Think about it: Hillary Clinton's State Department actually hired the very people who, along with their jihadist allies in Benghazi, attacked us and killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and Sean Smith as well as CIA contractors Glen Doherty and Ty Woods,” Lopez said.
My guess is that Team Clinton did not want this to get out.
I think some of the emails in Wiki said that HRC has bad instincts... yeah.
Very sad
