“Well, I’m certainly not here to talk about it. We’re here to talk about the Middle East.”
It’s truly difficult to know who is more clueless: Democratic congresswoman Ann Kuster or the New Hampshire voters who elected her to represent them in Washington.
In what has to be the stupidest answer ever given to a question – including those horrible, painful to watch, so-stupid-they’ve-gone-viral answers given by pageant contestants – Kuster proved she is utterly useless as a member of the House of Representatives.
Some media outlets were kinder and gentler in their coverage of Kuster’s ignorance: “Ann Kuster clumsily refused to answer a question on the Benghazi attacks during a recent town hall, frantically looking to the moderator for assistance needed,”

Well you risk being seen as an idiot yourself (or replicating idiocy). Benghazi is in Lybia and that is an African nation more correctly part of the Maghreb region of North Africa and so Lybia is not in the Middle East.
"The Eisenhower Doctrine, a 1957 foreign policy of the United States government, was the first to officially use the term Middle East.[9] Secretary of State John Foster Dulles defined the Middle East as "the area lying between and including Libya on the west and Pakistan on the east, Syria and Iraq on the North and the Arabian peninsula to the south, plus the Sudan and Ethiopia.

Everyone's an expert
If she actually answered the question all we would get is juggling lies anyways. Good gig if you can get it.
But there are different definitions and opinions from different sources.
Still doesn't answer why the woman appeared to be ignorant of the whole issue ?

Maybe she took a page out of Obama's playbook....The Art of Deception and Evading Important Questions
Of course, she's still a rookie
Or maybe, just maybe, she really doesn't know.

UM, Is she a democrat?
Did the subject happen on their watch?
Why would she want to talk about The Libyan thing?
She could have been a little more adroit however....surely the gov people don't think we are that uninformed about their failures do they?

Doesn't matter if it's in the middle east, north africa, america, antartica or the moon... She didn't want to answer the question regardless! Most likely this dingbat has no clue about what really happened in Bhengazi.... she was either smart to stay away from the question or to scared to really answer it!! Either way she's a Dingbat!!
