Did anyone die waiting in Benghazi? The survivors were relieved by Americans arriving by ground transport from Tripoli. I can only assume you're trying to say that relief should have been brought in by air and that that would have saved someone's life. I'm pretty sure they showed over and over again that are relief would not have gotten their significantly sooner that no one died in the time frame between the two. If a mistake was made, it was made days and weeks before the attack,  not having sources of relief close enough. Also it seems the state department and CIA didn't know how many armed hostile people there were in the area. The investigations were not able to show that mistakes were made the night of the attack.

Yes, several people died waiting in Benghazi. Were you asleep during the entire Obama administration?

The Beirut attack was the first of it's kind, in a country that was considered friendly to the US. There was no logical reason to expect the US to prepare for such an attack beforehand. Benghazi happened after decades of terror attacks on US citizens, on the very same date as the most infamous previous terror attack, and in a country that was NOT friendly to the US. A lack of sufficient defense there was an avoidable failure, along with the lack of timely response once the attack was known, and the lies about the video afterwards. BTW, while some may have claimed otherwise, those lies went on for a week before they were finally put to rest, and the maker of the video was nonetheless charged with inciting the attack.

So your comparison is Apples vs. Lawn Chairs.
