I think we have to wait for Ambassador Pickering's investigation to be completed. But I think we can make an initial assessment that this is one of Cohen and Gooch's examples of military failure – the failure to anticipate. Now we have to make sure we do not fail to learn and fail to adapt.
Who’s to blame for Benghazi? A layman’s guide
Posted by Max Fisher on November 6, 2012 at 8:00 am
The Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, raised questions about the stability of post-Gaddafi Libya, and ultimately became a major political controversy in the weeks ahead of Tuesday’s U.S. presidential election. The political debate around Benghazi has often turned on an implicit (and sometimes quite explicit) question: Who messed up? That question hasn’t been easy to follow, both because of the slow trickle of information about the incident and because so much of the domestic conversation has been colored by its political implications.
This is an attempt to objectively consider the various individuals and groups connected to the Benghazi incident, what’s been publicly reported about their roles so far, and what that information suggests about their potential responsibility.
