Benghazi - Is what happened important or not?

#70

Quote:Well.. maybe if there was anything that remotely resembled outrage when the other 69 Americans were killed and 64 Americans were wounded in similar attacks, it would ring more true. But there wasn't anything of the sort under someone else's watch. Once it became Obama/Hillary, and after a $128M cut in funding to protect embassies and consulates, all of a sudden politicians seem to care.
 

The other issue with your position is that those attacks you listed occurred during the live action in Iraq and Afghanistan. The number of American deaths abroad when Benghazi happened were nowhere near what was going on back then, and we were, for better or worse, accustomed to Americans being killed abroad by Islamic radicals. The security measures are one issue, but the outrage comes because Obama or Clinton could've just said "the terrorists did it" and we would've all understood, but that didn't fit their narrative so they lied.
