Readers Write: Far worse happened during Bush term than Benghazi

The Island Now

I am writing a rebuttal to the Oct. 30, 2015 letter that a Mr. Leonard Mansky wrote about the hearings of Hillary Clinton at Benghazi. 

Benghazi was a terrible tragedy and I feel for the people who lost their lives and their loved ones.

Also, we may never really know unless the FBI discovers new information on Clinton.

What I do know is that we are at war and many things happen.

Under the 2 Bush administrations, 13 embassies were attacked with many more than four people dying, as in Benghazi.

The Bush administration started a long war with Iraq based on lies and false information. 

Many thousands of American soldiers and innocent Iraqi people are now in their graves because of what was done and said by that administration at that time.

I am not a big fan of Hillary Clinton and if she lied she should pay in some way. 

But some hard-liners will never put it to bed and let it rest.
