In reply to the discussion: So, when will McCain be made to answer for arming the Benghazi rebels who attacked the US embassy? [View all]leveymg
(36,418 posts)It's not a "partisan theory" - one of the two possibilities you mention is consistent with what the facts (as they are presented by the coverage) that indicate the attack in Benghazi was blowback from an ongoing operation gone bad. The real question, it seems to me, was the attack the result of a refusal to provide weapons or to continue providing weapons, and what was Stevens' role in either case?
I think we aren't hearing from the "Democrats and liberals in the Senate" because the events are still classified, and everyone just wants to dismiss it without close examination, either because they really supported the policy of arming the opposition or because it is felt that for this whole thing to get hashed out publicly now would somehow interfere with the diplomatic track that's being led by Kerry.
