It is disgusting that the Republicans are making political hay out of this horrible incident.
The fact is that no reasonable amount of security would have stopped this attack. NO embassy or consulate in the world arms their security staff with the types of weapons that could have stopped this coordinated assault by militias armed with battle field level weapons.
If security had been increased, the only result would have been more dead Americans.
The true way that embassies and consulates are secured is by guaranteed severe retaliation against the attackers - not only by the country whose facility was attacked, but by every country in the world that participates in diplomacy.
Right now, there has been increased sentiment towards military intervention in Northern Mali. This is where the attackers most likely have taken refuge.
Once again, it is truly disgusting that Republicans have politicized this horrible incident.
When Team Obama decided to pretend it was not a terrorist attack and invented the video story, were they doing that for political reasons?
