And here we have it..."power" over all........and nothing will stand in the way of democrats gaining and keeping power.......
The Benghazi Debacle Should Have Ended Hillary Clinton’s Career
This is an extraordinary response to a report that comprehensively details one of the most shameful episodes in recent American diplomatic and military history. Clinton’s State Department failed to adequately protect its diplomats in Libya, with the Obama administration so intent on avoiding “boots on the ground” in the aftermath of its Libyan air war that it left Americans dangerously exposed even as the jihadist threat was plainly and clearly ramping up.
The report details at least ten previous terror attacks in Benghazi, including two IED attacks on the American compound, yet the State Department had decreased its security there in the months before Ambassador Chris Stevens and four others were killed. Obama’s Pentagon failed to mobilize assets to protect those same Americans even as they endured an hours-long assault on September 11, 2012.
One of the most painful elements of the report is its description of exactly how difficult it was for the Pentagon to ramp up even the quick-strike elements of the most powerful military in the history of the world.
Fighters were in one location, tankers in another. Ground assets were in one place, air transport in another. It took hours for clear commands from the White House and Pentagon to filter sufficiently far down the ranks to spur actual military activity.
Then, confronted with the damage afterward, the administration lied, repeatedly. Of that there can no longer be any reasonable doubt.
The report lays out in excruciating detail the contrast between the administration’s private and public statements about the attack: The private statements consistently attributed the Benghazi attack to terrorists while the public statements either directly blamed an anti-Islamic YouTube video for causing the violence or conflated the Benghazi attack with a protest at the Egyptian embassy that did appear to be connected to the video.
At the beginning of the article David French asks....
Do failures and lies matter any longer? If you are a prominent Democratic politician, what exactly is the level of wrongdoing that will end your career?
And the answers are ...
1) if you are a democrat...no.
2) There is no level of crime or corruption that will bring a democrat down when they are in a position to appoint Supreme Court Justices and destroy the enemies of the democrats, namely, other Americans....
