“More Than One”

9/11/18

Quickly what was the other
more than one 9/11 today
different watch and results
denials and justifications
lies – deceit – cover-ups
not as many murdered
but blood on the hands
those sworn to protect
in case forgot – Benghazi
Americans murdered
support not provided
people in high offices walk
brag today in their speeches
about more than one today!

The 2012 Benghazi attack was a coordinated attack against two United States government facilities in Benghazi, Libya by members of the militant group Ansar al-Sharia.
At 9:40 p.m., September 11, members of Ansar al-Sharia attacked the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi resulting in the deaths of U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens and U.S. Foreign ServiceInformation Management Officer Sean Smith.[6][7]Stevens was the first U.S. ambassador killed in the line of duty since 1979.[8]
At around 4:00 a.m. on September 12, the group launched a mortar attack against a CIA annex approximately one-mile (1.6 km) away, killing CIA contractors Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty[7][9][10]and wounding ten others. At the behest of the CIA, top U.S. officials initially described the attacks as the results of a spontaneous protest triggered by the recently released anti-Muslim video, Innocence of Muslims.[11] Subsequent investigations showed that the attack was premeditated – although rioters and looters not originally part of the group may have joined in after the attacks began.[12][13][14]
The National Review later labeled the attack Battle of Benghazi,[15] a name that has since been used by several media outlets to refer to the attacks. There is no definitive evidence that al-Qaeda or any other international terrorist organization participated in the Benghazi attack.[16][17][18] The United States immediately increased security worldwide at diplomatic and military facilities and began investigating the Benghazi attack.[19][20] Many Libyans condemned the attacks. They staged public demonstrations condemning Ansar Al-Sharia, which had been formed during the 2011 Libyan civil war in opposition to leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.[21][22][23]
Despite persistent accusations against President Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Susan Riceten investigations — six by Republican-controlled congressional committees — did not find that they or any other high-ranking Obama administration officials had acted improperly. Four career State Department officials were criticized for denying requests for additional security at the facility prior to the attack. Eric J. Boswell, the Assistant Secretary of State for Diplomatic Security, resigned under pressure, while three others were suspended.[24] In her role as Secretary of StateHillary Clinton subsequently took responsibility for the security lapses.[25]
