Really??? No difference. Dead is dead. Be it civilian, diplomat, soldier, or whatever, dead is dead. As for the rest of the talking points, the usual discredit the incumbent stuff. Whichever party is in power the other side is going to do whatever they can to discredit whatever the Administration does! The Dems did it when Bush was in office, now the GOP does it when Obama is in office. Bush swore to get Bin Laden, never got it done. Obama got him, and the Republicans say he had nothing to do with it! Had it gone wrong, then of course it would have been all Obama's fault!

The stuff never changes, there's no truth, just spin! What's it matter anyway, they're all still dead, soldiers, civilians, and diplomats. No amount of spin will bring any of them back to life. I disdain the media, the political parties, and all involved to use the death of any American as a talking point to make their side look better. The correct spin seems to be much more important then the lives lost..... Truly a sad state of affairs in our country when the loss of human life becomes a posturing tool for the spin doctor's....
