Why is the Benghazi Attack such a controversy? I need to answer this in a few sentences which I am having a hard time doing. I wrote my paper but I can't seem to summarize it.

Answer 1

Critics of the President have accused the White House of emphasizing the role of anti-American feelings as the cause of the attacks. There's also some feeling that if we had known more beforehand, we might have prevented the attacks.
