Doesn't sound much different at all. Other than the fact the the president and congress seemed to care a lot more about Benghazi.

The only real difference is that an ambassador was killed in the other one. This time it was just meaningless Green Berets I guess.

Don't act like you care one bit about the loss of American lives in either event. They are both merely political props for you and your side.

Dude, kindly STFU. You don't know me one bit. I have many relatives who served and a nephew currently in the Navy in Japan. Don't pretend to tell me you know how I feel about our military, living and/or deceased.

If you want to ***** about using dead Americans for political gain, then you should be totally outraged by what the GOP did with Benghazi. Are you?

The Ambassador and his team were abandoned. The failed Democratic Presidential nominee was then quoted as saying "what difference does it make?"...

I'm outraged by that.

I would like to know more about the Green Berets in Niger.. what they were doing there, what happened, and what our response is going to be.

You can't really compare the two tragedies other than the fact that Americans died.

No, they were not abandoned. Every investigation came to that same conclusion. And you can't just throw out H's comment like that with no context. Especially when it had nothing at all to do with his death or the response.

Quote:With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided that they’d they go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator. Now, honestly, I will do my best to answer your questions about this, but the fact is that people were trying in real time to get to the best information. The IC has a process, I understand, going with the other committees to explain how these talking points came out. But you know, to be clear, it is, from my perspective, less important today looking backwards as to why these militants decided they did it than to find them and bring them to justice, and then maybe we’ll figure out what was going on in the meantime.

And isn't dying Americans alone enough to make them comparable anyway? I think so.
