Benghazi?????

In the weeks since the Benghazi incident exploded on the pages of America’s newspapers and cable news networks, I have been trying to understand why this event generates so much heat. It should be understood that, like members of the military, foreign service personnel sign on with the understanding that “shit” happens in and around ambassadorial posts around the world from time to time. 
Yes, it is unfortunate that 4 lives were lost in the attack on the Benghazi CONSULATE (not embassy) but no more so than the lives of America’s fighting men in Afghanistan and
other places around the world. A consulate is not manned to the extent that an embassy might be. I have seen consulates in various places around the world that were housed in a residential area in large houses. If one did not know where they were, he/she would be hard pressed to find them. Yes, shit happens and things go awry. If you think this is bad, try a military operation. But the politicos and pundits do not find such death and dying of little interest. It sickens me that there are those who would attempt to politicize this issue for political gain. For example, go to C-Span and locate the Issa committee inquisition; witness the frothing Republicans drooling and slobbering all over themselves claiming to get to the root of the problem. Why the witnesses allow themselves to be disrespected as they are before this inquisition is beyond me. 
What is amusing is the fact that two weeks from now this event will be water under the dam, and the records of the Issa hearings will be archived in the bowels of the Library of Congress.
