The battle at the consulate

The MSM accounts of the attack on the Benghazi consulate, like this one from ABC News, are terribly vague and incoherent, especially as to how Christopher Stevens died. But at least one definite and salient fact emerges—there was a battle in the consulate compound that went on for several hours. And evidently there was no armed Libyan government force that could or would come in and simply end it. For our government to describe this catastrophe as having been brought about by small group of malcontents having no connection to the Libyan powers-that-be is a transparent lie.
