Does the Clinton Campaign Really Want to Make Benghazi an Issue?

The Benghazi scandal should be a significant campaign issue in this year's presidential race. It goes to the heart of the many questions about Hillary Clinton's integrity, judgment and values, as it does also for President Barack Obama's. Together they sit at the center of this grand fiasco of botched decision-making, the refusal to provide adequate security in Libya, and the cover-up blaming the video in the aftermath. Questions still remain, such as how much of this was ideological, as opposed to just bad judgment. Why was the decision made to not send available air power into Benghazi while there was still time to save at least two of the four lives? As we have reported, the Obama administration and Secretary of State Clinton not only switched sides in the war on terror by pushing for the overthrow of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi and aiding al-Qaeda-linked rebels, but they also betrayed those Americans in Benghazi by leaving them on the ground to fend for themselves while under attack. This was unquestionably a dereliction of duty. Our Citizens' Commission on Benghazi dealt with all aspects of this scandal at a press conference we held back in June at the National Press Club.
