If you want to play "woulda, coulda, shoulda...", lets look at another scenario. What if an additional 6-12 security personnel would have been assigned to protect the Americans at the consulate and half of those were on duty at the time of the attack. The headlines coming from Benghazi could very well have read, "Ten Americans Killed in Libya". Do we even know today, how big a security force we should have sent to prevent four, or more, American deaths?

It's not my job to interpret the conflicting reports that came out of Washington in the days after the tragedy in Benghazi. There will be investigations. Hopefully, they will be as thorough as the investigation into Pat Tillman's death and the lies, deception, and stonewalling by the Bush administration that followed.
