ather the result of the fog of war, or something like 
it. An inquest would be conducted. The bottom of this would be 
gotten to.The slow walk was on.Romney subsequently shied from the subject. 
The one time he made mention of the attack in a debate 
with Obama, the president caught him on a technicality and moderator Candy 
Crowley of CNN helped to humiliate the former Massachusetts governor.The 
press, mostly either cowed or uninterested on the subject, let the issue 
drop too. Obama's strategy was successful. Political disaster was averted. 
Cue the confetti.But having been re-elected, the election strategy re: Benghazi 
is causing something of a hangover for the president.Now that we have 
had the first large-scale terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11, public 
anxiety about Islamists and terrorism is way up. With that backdrop, Republicans 
are re-opening the inquest into the Benghazi attacks. This time the questions 
aren't so much about non-existent riots or why Americans in an Islamist 
country weren't on higher alert.This time it's about allegations of a cover-up. 
Did Obama officials muzzle critics in service of the president's re-election 
goal? Was the inquest full and fair? What did the president know, 
and when did he know it?Given it all to do over again, 
Obama likely would repeat his pre-election approach to Benghazi: denounce 
critics, go slow and minimize any broader significance of the attack. After 
all, he did win a second term.But
 ted was a 
nuanced and careful response from Obama and his diplomatic and national 
security team. Obama deplored terror, but made clear that the attack was 
the result of a cheesy video about the founder of Islam, Mohammed. 
"Spontaneous" was the word of the week.As Romney tried to find his 
feet on the subject, Republicans began to accuse Obama of laxity. How 
could the U.S. not be prepared for an attack on the anniversary 
of 9/11? How could the consulate in a city known to be 
a home to Islamist radicals be so poorly guarded? What was the 
ambassador doing there with such a light security detail?When reporters 
made similar, reasonable inquiries, Obama's campaign and administration 
dismissed such questions as biased, saying the few members of the press 
who pressed the subject were just doing Romney's handiwork.This allowed 
Obama to hold the line and prevent greater anxiety or anger in 
the electorate. The attack was spontaneous and partly the fault of American 
religious radicals, so please stop politicizing this tragedy.But then it 
was revealed that there was no riot, spontaneous or otherwise. It had 
been a planned, coordinated raid. Further, there had been growing warnings 
from the diplomatic team in Libya that trouble was brewing. And while 
Obama claimed that Al Qaeda was in tatters, the group seemed to 
still be able to strike back.Obama cautioned against rushing to judgment 
and said that he and his team's mistakes were no cover up 
but r
