I don't understand how one of the "most sophisticated consumers of intelligence on the planet" could be so confused for so long about the intelligence regarding the cause of the Benghazi attack.
It took the White House far longer than others with access to the same intelligence to conclude that the Benghazi consulate was torched and our diplomatic staff murdered by a deliberate jihadi attack rather than being a mob enraged by an obscure video who unfortunately had heavy infantry support weapons along with them for the protest march.
President Obama may want to rethink his approach to being briefed by the intelligence community.
