Ultimately deciding to do nothing, rather than antagonize the Libyans.
Via Free Beacon:
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R., S.C.) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s Morning Joe that the Obama administration was more concerned about protecting the feelings of Libyans than protecting the American consulate in Benghazi during the 2012 attack on the diplomatic compound.
Gowdy, the chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, said read-outs of meetings that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton participated in hours after the attack showed there was concern about “hurting the Libyans’ feelings.”
“There is a two-hour meeting that the secretary participated in,” Gowdy said. “Read the summaries of that two-hour meeting, read the read-outs of what came out of that two-hour meeting. That was when the decision was made not to go to Benghazi but to go to Tripoli. That is when all of the concern was expressed about hurting the Libyans’ feelings by showing up in uniform.”
