Benghazi should disqualify Hillary Clinton for president. If she was anyone else, especially a Republican, she would be disqualified from everything from dog catcher on up. Will Hillary get away with being a terribly ineffective and dangerous Secretary of State and get a promotion to President of the United States in 2016? Looking at this Benghazi MessAPolitico today, you have to wonder about the media and the voters. Will Trey Gowdy successfully get this thing out into the light of day?
What happened to a media that was looking for a scoop? Why don't they want to expose the story to sell newspapers or to get the viewers to tune in? Maybe this is exactly why the newpapers are fighting for survival. The network news is losing market share to cable news outlets and "non-traditional" internet media. The people are hungry for political news sources that express their personal views. Are there really that many "low information voters" out there just watching the network news and believing everything they say? Are we destined for a perpetual MessAPolitico?
Hillary was an incompetent manager at best. She ignored warnings from those on the front lines in Benghazi and left them without sufficient security forces. Unlike the other countries that had closed their diplomatic outposts in Benghazi, the US office remained open. Those other countries didn't feel that Benghazi was safe for their diplomats, but the US stayed the course without "beefing up" the security. What does that say about the Secretary of State?
If Hillary wasn't an incompetent manager, then she was playing politics. Politics were placed ahead of the safety of Americans. Lives were sacrificed for the "cause." Barack Obama had to be re-elected. He had announced that the war on terror was over and Al Qaeda was rendered powerless by the all powerful Barack Obama. He had killed their leader, Osama Bin Laden. Increasing security in the Islamic countries on the anniversary of 9/11 would demonstrate that Barack Obama's statements weren't correct. It would even show that the Obama doctrine of "be nice to everyone and they will love you" was naive and dangerous. Hillary was willing to risk lives to get Barack Obama re-elected. She didn't have the leadership skills or the confidence to walk into Barack Obama's office and demand that her people get the security they needed. She didn't go in and advise the President that added security would head off an attack that could show the incompetence of the administration. Her advice could have protected her position as well as Obama's. It didn't happen. Did she not foresee this possibility? Or did she lack the confidence to buck the President and his team? Would a person like this make a great President of the United States?
Now, on top of all these things, Hillary participated in an idiotic attempt to cover up the truth about the events. Would anyone with even a small modicum of intelligence believe that this attack on 9/11/2012 was about a stupid YouTube video? It was just a coincidence that multiple embassies experienced these "protests" on 9/11, and they weren't terrorist attacks. Do these members of the MessAPolitico think that all Americans are that stupid, or is it only their supporters that are gullible enough to buy this one?
Was the mainstream media really that stupid, or did they participate in the cover up? I believe they facilitated the cover up. You can't give Hillary a "free pass" on this one. We have proof that America doesn't want her taking that phone call at 3:00 AM. Will Hillary be decisive? Will she make good decisions? Will she act as a Commander in Chief and protect the country and its people? Or will she put the MessAPolitical interests ahead of yours and mine.
