Trumps Benghazi? Where is the Republican outcry to protect the troops?

When Benghazi occurred in 2012, it did not take long for the right wing nut jobs to pile on Barrack Obama  and Hillary Clinton. They did not pile on the Secretary of Defense at the time (Leon Panetta for the historically illiterate) or the military commanders who would have had direct control over any military action. That is probably because none of those people had presidential ambitions. An unfortunate incident occurred last week where four soldiers were ambushed. Where is the outcry for an investigation here from the right? Where are the calls for the President to call this an act of terrorism? Why are not the Republican Representative and Senator Chairpersons of Committees not falling over each other to haul Secretary Tillerson before various hearings? This just demonstrates that the Republicans are only interested in one thing: tearing our country apart by promoting senseless conspiracy theories that help them gain or maintain power. This country deserves a better government and better Republican Party than this.
