Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton Asks, “What Difference at this Point, Does it Make?”

My Answer to Her Ridiculous Question

By The Colonel

The real difference it makes is that we trusted American lives to several individuals in senior leadership roles; these individuals either made poor decisions or failed to make decisions at all. As a result, our U.S. Ambassador to Libya was murdered along with three other brave Americans. These senior individuals (President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and General David Petraeus) were embarrassed at their total failure and decided to fabricate a more politically excusable reason for the Benghazi disaster…they blamed a scarcely watched YouTube anti-Islam film?

The public has been lied to, deceived, had the truth hidden from them by journalist/executives in the mainstream news media and by the Federal Government. It will not work. Like all cover-ups there are too many lies to keep straight and too many people who know the truth…the truth will surface eventually. So let’s get back to Hillary Rodham Clinton’s angry response to the Congressional questioning, “What difference at this point does it make?” The difference it makes is we need effective senior leaders who make good decisions under pressure in key Federal Government jobs--and to know if that is true we have to evaluate their performance.

We have to know what they actually did and how they did it…a performance evaluation is not possible unless we know the complete truth. The most important questions have still not been answered.
  • One, why was our Ambassador in Benghazi and with so little protection?
  • Two, why did we not have contingency response forces readily available to respond to Benghazi…especially on an anniversary of 9/11?
  • Three, when the attack was reported by phone to the Department of State and U.S. forces in Tripoli began to respond to Benghazi, who gave the order to “stand-down” and why did they give that order?
  • Four, where was President Obama and what was he doing when Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone S. Woods were engulfed in an eight-hour fight for their lives?

I have a theory… President Obama and Secretary Clinton were very busy working on the presidential election and not paying much attention to what was happening in Libya…after all, they have lots of “little people” who can handle the mundane tasks of actually governing the United States of America. By the time the President’s staff and Secretary Clinton’s staff realized that Benghazi was a really serious crisis, it was too late to successfully intervene. At that point all the well-honed machinery of campaign central kicked in to produce the “blame the video” strategy (the anti-Islam YouTube video) and they got all the help they needed from the mainstream media.

I am hopeful the truth will soon come out. Why am I hopeful? Well, if President Obama’s  extensive “Chicago” style political machine could not crush and intimidate the insiders who knew the truth at the State Department, the families of the brave Americans who were murdered at Benghazi, and a few inquisitive/daring within the news media beginning to ask the right questions (who have typically been strong allies)…then there is hope. The truth must be very bad indeed.
