My quick, quick take on Benghazi -
If the Federal Government has the ability to "help" individual counties inside the USA receive the $ 370,000 Bearcat Security vehicles, like the one discussed in this article, then there is NO EXCUSE for not having ample protection for its diplomats who serve the nation in dangerous places abroad.
No excuse!
Someone needs to serve as Chief Administrator to see that our military might is not wasted, but put to actual use. We need a Neil Barofsky of Defense, who would provide oversight to what vehicles and security items are going where. (Barofsky, through appointment by Obama, did oversight over the 700 Billion dollar TARP.)
But giving a county like Marin,. with its traffic congested roads, this monstrosity of a security item is a sheer waste of taxpayer money.
