...and, once the rioting was underway, how would you expect any forces to stop it from the outside?...
There's a lot of of chicken hawk, 20/20 hindsight, armchair quarterbacking, goin' here...
Even double the security staff would have just added to the death toll...
The only way this could have been avoided, would be for the Embassy to have been closed down and abandoned prior...
The entire issue is a political witch hunt...
Would this even be an issue, if it weren't that Clinton was Secretary of State at the time, and everyone knew she would be a Presidential candidate?...
Noop...
So, you're saying cause the wagons were circled and the indians were already on the warpath...
that a can of whoopa$$ in flight forced to circle at the border waiting for clearance to land wouldn't done any good?
All it would've took to clear the streets was a couple of squads with saws. and it was said that from the time of the alert, the can of whoopa$$ could've taken a commercial flight to Tripoli and still would've been in time to keep the ambassador from being drug out in the street.
but you know, it's ok to feign a stroke... to remove top secret headers... to suppress evidence for 3 years... it's standard political modus operandi.
