An Important Symbol, Indeed

Democrats have revived the ridiculous notion that House Republicans--who control a third of the relevant institutions in the Benghazi drama--are the reason there was no money for diplomatic security in Benghazi prior to September 11, 2012. One of the reasons this was ridiculous is that it denied the entire notion of prioritizing spending needs.

Hey, look at that that new environmentally sustainable embassy in Burundi!

"In an important symbol of America’s commitment to an enduring friendship with the Republic of Burundi, U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Burundi, Dawn M. Liberi, dedicated the new U.S. Embassy in Bujumbura today," reads the State Department press release.

"Occupying a 10-acre site near the city center in Kigobe, the $133 million multi-building complex provides a state-of-the-art, environmentally-sustainable workplace for embassy personnel."

Sadly, the Benghazi diplomatic facility was not a life-sustaining workplace.

But one must have priorities, mustn't one? Commitment-wise, of course.
