Ask Mitt Romney

Republicans blamed the victims.
Mitt Romney came out criticising our embassy officials after Benghazi even before our
White House made a statement.
Those attacked at the embassy sent word home that they'd apologized for the offensive movie made
in America. They themselves believed the attack on them was related to the other attacks on embassies and outposts in that part of the world.
When Romney heard them admit the apologies they made in order to quell the fire directed at them,
he immediately sniped at them for being apologists for the great state of America.
Then and now, the thing to do was admit we already had statesmen and women in place who would
attempt to find out what was actually wrong. Republicans dishonor those killed by ignoring that
obligation again and again.
They were wrong back when the Benghazi deaths occurred. They are very wrong now.
Susan Rice used a great many prep notes to assemble her final, CIA-approved statement.
Even if one of the prep notes is still missing even now, no one can make it say what it does not say.
The latest memo referred to all the assaults which were happening at once, not to an as yet
singled-out Benghazi.
No one knew how deadly that attack was until hours after it happened.
How could anyone here have known what happened the moment it happened.
None of the decades of embassy attacks our country has worked that way,  not even the attack on our Marines in Beirut was understood within hours of our getting the death toll.
