My observation

I think the U.S. Government led by President O'Bama was spooked by the Benghazi attack. Whether they did the right thing is hind-sight.

This is not an endorsement of O'Bama Administration policy. I'm just looking at this from their perspective. I think it's fair to say that they were over-cautious.
