From Jon Perr at PERRspectives:
The grief and suffering of the families of the four Americans killed in Benghazi, Libya in 2012 must be unbearable and interminable. Only someone with the most hardened heart would fail to understand their pain and anguish.
But that doesn’t mean the latest efforts of some of the relatives, enthusiastically supported by Republican hardliners, to blame Hillary Clinton for the deaths of their loved ones deserve the same sympathy. After all, nine separate investigations, including the two-year, $7 million inquisition led by Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), concluded that Secretary Clinton bore no culpability for that tragedy in Libya four years ago. Those now arguing that Benghazi should “disqualify” Clinton from the White House will be hard pressed to explain why Ronald Reagan deserved reelection after the slaughter of 241 Marines in the Beirut barracks bombing of 1983 or why George W. Bush earned four more years after the 9/11 calamity and disastrous invasion of Iraq that occurred on his watch.
Oh, and one other thing. When the families of the four American contractors butchered in Fallujah in 2004 pressed their claim of negligence against Blackwater, the GOP mocked them for it
