Steven was a big boy and got to make his own damn calls, including staying at the Embassy or sending the whole damn thing back home if necessary. Blaming the State Department (or HC) for his calls is simply dishonest. Monday-morning quarterbacking...Stevens worked for the State Department and they could have heeded the warnings and ordered him home.
They ignored the warnings and did nothing. That nothing got four good men killed.
Stevens and all staff should have been brought home. Had that happened there would have been no Benghazi.
You can blame the dead guy.
I'll put the blame where it belongs on the State Department
