My point is that presidents make mistakes. It is difficult (in my opinion) for right-wingers to be critical of mistakes made in Benghazi; without comparing them to past mistakes where America lives were lost.

The Beirut debacle just happened to have some common elements. If a person were interested in a serious analysis of foreign acts of terror; it would not be unreasonable to compare the two incidents.
