The Benghazi operation was a CIA op with a State dept cover. Sounds like neither had the Security and were depending on locals.

The similarity of the Bay of Pigs as far as deniability and public explanation gone WRONG! ... along with the history of training insurgents to do our bidding in a foreign countries .. ala Afghanistan during the Carter years ... coupled with our "historical" relationship with the Brits of "weapons" exchanges, ala the Iran-Contra-Cental America activity ... points to the Agency.
The Agency had enough fire power in the vicinity to quell the "rock throwing" but to do so would result in revealing their "foot print" and the scope of their "presence." Drones have "collateral" damage. So does the Agency.
