[url=http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/15/politics/senate-benghazi-report/]Recent findings from[/url] the Senate Intelligence Committee found that the attack on Benghazi (I'm assuming that this meant the outcome, not physical attack) could have been prevented had the U.S. government taken more precautions. The report partly blamed the State Department, stating that it should have increased its security measures due to warnings that U.S. personnel were at risk. It then went onto to say that the Intelligence Community provided "ample strategic warning" that U.S. facilities were at risk. But condemned them for being able to do more. Had they done "extremist-affiliated social media analysis", then information pointing towards a potential attack against the compound might have been found.

I'm pretty sure anything is preventable once you can carefully look back at the situation with 20/20 hindsight. I mean Hitler was preventable too, they should've just let him continue with his art. Or his parents should've been wearing a condom lol. Or the Germans could've not listened to him! But the problem is that we're human, it is our nature to not be perfect.
