Understanding Obama's, Clinton's and Panetta's actions on 9-11-2012

Bryan Preston has done yeoman's work on the Benghazi scandal. Here he offers a theory about the role of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Leon Panetta.

This theory doesn’t account for everything, nor does it attempt to. It doesn’t account for why Stevens was in Benghazi that night, for instance, and it doesn’t account for why Clinton’s State Department left the mission so exposed. It doesn’t account for what the U.S. mission in Benghazi was doing, or whether it was involved in any way in the war in Syria. But it does try to account for Obama’s and Panetta’s and Clinton’s actions that night, which on their face make no sense.
