Speaker Boehner, Senator McConnell et al. - Let's stop this Benghazi circus. Whatever political points you feel that you are gaining on the right, you are losing in the middle.
It was a tragedy. It was a failure of the failsafes that are intended to keep our foreign service safe. It should never happen again. But think - just for a moment - at how this spectacle looks. Think about how our fighting men and women must feel that you have expelled so much hot air on this lone incident, yet rarely mention the VA backlog, or the remaining men and women in Afghanistan, or the rising number of veteran suicides, or the rising number of homeless veterans, or the rising number of veterans behind bars, or the rising number of unemployed veterans.
You should be statesmen, and yet you seem small and feckless on this issue. You must have gotten into politics for the right reasons. You must have heard it as a higher calling. Please focus on the more important topics, this nation needs its leaders.
