There is no way this is not going to be politicized especially in an election year. No matter if it is Democrats or Republicans either side would use this to gain an advantage.
This is direct result in the soft power used by the current administration. Terrorist are not going to change their mind or their goals by being coddled to. This is a perfect example of how any positive effect of US diplomacy will be targeted. The US government knew the Embassy was at risk and not only reduced the number of security forces but refused them extra security when asked for. I find it hard to believe that the White house was unaware of the threat on the Embassy or for that matter the 11th anniversary of 9-11 should have raised the level of security alone.
Talk about the disservice of the victims memory, where is the outrage of the public and press to pressure the US and Libyan Governments for action to bring the terrorist to justice?
