In the world-wide global islamic “ummah,” Benghazi is seen as America’s Stalingrad. Seriously.

The Amriki crusaders were driven out of Eastern Libya, the cradle of jihad, it total defeat, humiliation, and disgrace. The Amriki ambassador was killed and defiled, dragged through the streets. The Amriki did NOTHING in response.

Benghazi is seen by a billion-plus muslims as a sign of total collapse of American will.

As bad as the four dead are, the symbolic defeat is much, much worse in terms of setting us up for more attacks.

Precisely. Any strong nation would have had the streets run knee deep with blood and slaughtered those who had wrought such deeds, at a minimum. We are, in theory, a nation which could have removed Benghazi from the map, and we sat on our hands.

The Islamists will inevitably see this as a sign we do not have the will to resist. and more will die because of that.
