Re: US Election 2016
Benghazi was terrible, with four lives lost, but the funding for security was cut by the Republicans in Congress/Senate, and what about the 20 attacks on US embassies and the 87 lives lost under George W Bush. There haven't been multiple enquiries into these...

On MSNBC's The Ed Show, Rep. John Garamendi, D-Calif., said that "during the George W. Bush period, there were 13 attacks on various embassies and consulates around the world. Sixty people died."
On the numbers, Garamendi's actually understating the case.
Using the Global Terrorism Database and a news account that Garamendi's staff said was the source of his claim, we identified 39 attacks or attempted attacks on U.S. embassies and embassy personnel.
Of these 39 incidents, 20 resulted in at least one fatality.
Garamendi also understated the number of deaths. In the 20 incidents with at least one fatality, the total death toll was 87 — quite a few more than the 60 Garamendi cited.

There appears to be a one-sided focus on this, imho...
