And this is to be celebrated? Why exactly was the embassy calling for help? Anything to do with the US bombing dozens of Iraqi militia a few days beforehand?

I guess you missed the context. When a similar incident in Benghazi occurred, Hillary Clinton and Obama yawned and told the military to stand down and not send rescue. A US Ambassador died, which is huge. Afterwards the media and Left (though I repeat myself) went into overdrive justifying it and saying what happened wasn't a big deal.

The difference between Obama/Clinton and Trump could not be clearer.
