The Benghazi Scandal: Betrayed In Benghazi

More than a year after the attack in Benghazi, nothing is resolved. There are still many questions as to what the U.S. government knew prior to the attacks, why it didn’t respond to calls for more security and why it continued to claim the attack was the result of an anti-Muslim video when it was clear it was a planned terrorist attack. The ongoing FBI and Five-House Committee investigations are still trying to determine exactly what happened and what the U.S. response should have been. Moreover, it is still not yet known whether or not the CIA was an active participant in the events leading up to the attack. No one has been arrested as of yet and it is unclear whether anyone will ever be held responsible. Details are still emerging about the Benghazi incident; however, by compiling various eye-witness accounts of that night, a factual narration of what occurred has emerged and the truth may be difficult to swallow. But a blind eye cannot be turned. The government’s actions before, during and after the incident speak volumes about the priorities and ambitions of this administration. Only the truth can prevent a situation such as this from happening again.
