Letters: Calling out Republicans on embassy cuts

Re “Senators unswayed by talks with Rice,” Nov. 28

Isn’t there just one donkey willing to call out the elephant in the room when Republicans insist on ranting on and on about Benghazi? Simply put: Which party was responsible for the hundreds of millions of dollars withheld for embassy security improvements over the last few years, adversely affecting the work and safety of our diplomats abroad?

Perhaps the questions about U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice’s statements after the Benghazi attack should be aimed at Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and his Republican colleagues in Congress who refused to properly fund embassy construction and security.
