Ah Context ..

Todd... it was a proper US role to lead from behind in Lybia protecting stopping a major humanitarian crisis.

MISTAKE to keep a footprint on the ground BECAUSE the CIA and Military want to influence events on the ground in what was and continues to be a grab for guns, and power among tribes.

Good Policy to get chemicals out of Syria...

Good policy to NOT arm sunni's in Syria so that they can go fight shitites and allowites... Let the Saudi's do it. They have been fighting for mecca for 800 years. Fact is... there is nothing we can do about it without costing the world a lot of money and non Syrian lives.

You get a scorecard as president.... some decisions bite you in the butt.... Benghazi policy on the ground was a mistake. Budget cuts leading to decreased security was a mistake (collect enough money to pay for important stuff)..

Now IRAQ was a disaster that will cost us for 40 years (vet health benefits at the very least).
Reagan's policy to intervene in Lebanon got 260 marines killed in a terroist bombing before we retreated and IT was a mistake.
Viet Nam was a disaster that cost us for 30 years.

Bengazhi is a mistake the size of a pimple!

As to your point..
"they have tried to hide the facts'.... uhm..... they have had TWO investigations... one by the ex Joint chief of staff appointed by Bush. .. The facts are known.

A political memo on a national security issue is not a FACT about natl security. ...it is NOT a fact about policy... its is a fact about politics in America... We let politicians play politics... we call it spin... Critical thinkers sort out the spin from the policy. The republicans are true believers in some crazy wag the dog story that this cost them the election....(hey.. it worked for Reagan to screw Carter... why wouldn't the Dem's use similar methods to screw Romeny) Now it is just politics.

Hell, the Republican military chair McKeonon just told the Republican ISSA.... that he has his head up his butt calling that retired general who had NO KNOWLEDGE of what was going on to further the POLITICS of this matter.

This is just politics.... and it is meaningless politics.... (unless you think you can keep this noise going till Clinton beats Paul in 2016.)
