Nor would the GOP. The cynicism was thick. Frothy is still trying to ride on that non-existent wave.

Gamesmanship is the way things work in politics. We will never know what went on. But, if the administration got somebody killed because they were trying to sell or believed that a condition existed in Libya and among Islamic terrorist that did not they are either corrupt or incompetent.

What does that make Reagan after the Beirut embassy and barracks bombings? 100X as corrupt or incompetent, it seems (362 fatalities vs. 4).

No chit. But, the Gipper always gets a pass. Always. If Iran Contra can be overlooked, anything can. One thing you gotta give him; He was the greatest bullchitter of the 20th Century. He still has his acolytes snowed and stubbornly so.

The difference would be that no one expected a bomb in Beirut, and once it went off the party was over.

In Benghazi, there is evidence that the State Department knew beforehand that they were dealing with a security risk, and no aid was sent to assist those in the compound once the fight started. It's not like they couldn't get there in time, it's more like they never even tried in the first place.

Then again, what exactly was going on at that compound to start with?
