No magic
When I heard that the "Niger incident" involves four deaths, I knew it would have to be compared to the Benghazi thing, which also involved four deaths.

We don't get excited about FORTY THOUSAND Americans killed by overdoses, but for some reason we always get excited about FOUR deaths. Kent State, Benghazi, Niger.

Sure enough, politicians are getting ready to "investigate".

I can tell you right now that it won't work. An "investigation" only works if you can turn it into a magic word. Repooflican commentators were required to chant

BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI

for FOUR years. They never told us what a BENGHAZI is. They never said that we needed more BENGHAZI or less BENGHAZI. Were we supposed to eat BENGHAZI or drive BENGHAZI or smoke BENGHAZI or buy BENGHAZI? Tax BENGHAZI or vote BENGHAZI or impose BENGHAZI or repeal and replace BENGHAZI? Never told us. It was just a word.

There's NO WAY IN HELL the current incident can become a magic word. Guaranteed.

NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER NIGER

Not gonna happen. Even if a D commentator was dumb enough to try it, the TV networks would censor it.

Dead serious for a moment: The correct solution to BOTH of these incidents is even more unspeakable than the magic words. The correct solution is DON'T START WARS. If we hadn't been AGGRESSIVELY DESTROYING those countries WHICH NEVER ATTACKED US OR EVEN BOTHERED US, there would be NO FUCKING INCIDENTS AT ALL. No Americans would be killed in those places because no Americans would BE in those places. Needless to say, no politician will EVER suggest the correct solution to ANYTHING.
