If George Bush had pulled a Benghazi, he would be impeached and hung by now.

The unprecedented slaughter of State Department officials is something
unthinkable. "Protecting" them with Al-Qaeda loyalists is the mark of
treason. Presidents have resigned for less. George Bush would have been
raked over burning coals, impeached and on trial by now.
Why isn't Obama getting the same treatment George Bush would have?

13 attacks and 4000 killed on 911 (the consulate and the CIA compound)
are absolutely not unprecedented even though they're being treated that
way by Republicans who are deliberately ignoring anything that
happened prior to Inauguration Day, January 20, 2009.
January 22, 2002. Calcutta, India. Gunmen associated with
Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami attack the U.S. Consulate. Five people are
killed.
June 14, 2002. Karachi, Pakistan. Suicide bomber connected with al
Qaeda attacks the U.S. Consulate, killing 12 and injuring 51.
October 12, 2002. Denpasar, Indonesia. U.S. diplomatic offices bombed
as part of a string of "Bali Bombings." No fatalities.
February 28, 2003. Islamabad, Pakistan. Several gunmen fire upon the
U.S. Embassy. Two people are killed.
May 12, 2003. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Armed al Qaeda terrorists storm
the diplomatic compound, killing 36 people including nine Americans.
The assailants committed suicide by detonating a truck bomb.
July 30, 2004. Tashkent, Uzbekistan. A suicide bomber from the Islamic
Movement of Uzbekistan attacks the U.S. Embassy, killing two people.
December 6, 2004. Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Al Qaeda terrorists storm the
U.S. Consulate and occupy the perimeter wall. Nine people are killed.
March 2, 2006. Karachi, Pakistan again. Suicide bomber attacks the
U.S. Consulate killing four people, including U.S. diplomat David Foy
who was directly targeted by the attackers. (I wonder if Lindsey
Graham or Fox News would even recognize the name "David Foy." This is
the third Karachi terrorist attack in four years on what's considered
American soil.)
September 12, 2006. Damascus, Syria. Four armed gunmen shouting
"Allahu akbar" storm the U.S. Embassy using grenades, automatic
weapons, a car bomb and a truck bomb. Four people are killed, 13 are
wounded.
January 12, 2007. Athens, Greece. Members of a Greek terrorist group
called the Revolutionary Struggle fire a rocket-propelled grenade at
the U.S. Embassy. No fatalities.
March 18, 2008. Sana'a, Yemen. Members of the al-Qaeda-linked Islamic
Jihad of Yemen fire a mortar at the U.S. Embassy. The shot misses the
embassy, but hits nearby school killing two.
July 9, 2008. Istanbul, Turkey. Four armed terrorists attack the U.S.
Consulate. Six people are killed.
September 17, 2008. Sana'a, Yemen. Terrorists dressed as military
officials attack the U.S. Embassy with an arsenal of weapons including
RPGs and detonate two car bombs. Sixteen people are killed, including
an American student and her husband (they had been married for three
weeks when the attack occurred). This is the second attack on this
embassy in seven months.
A few observations about this timeline. My initial list was quoted
from an article on the Daily Kos which actually contained several
errors and only 11 attacks (the above timeline contains all 13
attacks). Also, my list above doesn't include the numerous and fatal
attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad during the Iraq war -- a war
that was vocally supported by Lindsey Graham, John McCain and Fox News

The "blame" was no one's except the U.N.'s. Higgins was the head of the
Observer Group and was traveling in some of the most disputed territory
in the world without even a perfunctory escort:
"On February 17, 1988, Higgins disappeared while serving as the Chief,
Observer Group Lebanon and Senior Military Observer, United Nations
Military Observer Group, United Nations Truce Supervision Organization.
Higgins was driving alone on the coastal highway between Tyre and
Naqoura in southern Lebanon, returning from a meeting with a local
leader of the Amal movement, when he was pulled from his vehicle by
armed men.[2][3] He had been abducted by the Lebanese Hezbollah.[4]
During his captivity, he was interrogated and tortured.[1]
As a reaction to his abduction, the United Nations Security Council
adopted Resolution 618, demanding his release. A year and a half after
his abduction, images of his body, hung by the neck, were televised
around the world � from a videotape released by his captors. The exact
date of Colonel Higgins' murder is uncertain; he was declared dead on
July 6, 1990. Finally, on 23 December 1991, his remains were recovered
by the late Major Jens Nielsen (Royal Danish Army) attached to the
United Nations Observer Group Beirut. His remains had been "...dumped
beside a mosque near a south Beirut hospital." [5] He was interred at
Quantico National Cemetery on December 30, 1991."
Anyway, the dubious listing that was proferred applied to 43, not 41.
