#1 The conflicting views leads America to wonder who is telling the truth? Is it the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton, or the accounts of the men and women who were on the ground in Benghazi during the Benghazi Massacre attack?"

So let me see if I understand something:

1) My government would have me believe that when there was an attack on an embassy in what was basically a war zone in Libya, that neither we nor our allies had anybody who could respond. Except for a few special forces, who were told to stay out (because they were too far away to respond, I suppose).

2) Whereas when there was an attack on a stupid hotel in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso (right next to Bum-Fuc& Nowhere) that we could get forces there almost instantly.

Riiiigghht . . . .

#3 Lets think about this, who is likely to be more truthful:

Obama, Hillary, and his administration who hasn't spoken a true statement since he was elected the first time

Men and women who have been on the ground, have nothing to gain (and a whole lot to loose)

Hmmm.... tough one....NOT!

#5 apparently they were painting targets for either an armed drone overhead (we know they had drones overhead) or an AC Gunship above. Neither fired

#6 Shrillary's CIA is all about domestic politics, pensions and CYA and nothing about America. Trump will have to clean house and then burn it to the ground.
