Well it (Benghazi) makes a HUGE difference, Hillary. But no one is paying attention any more. They've moved on. That was SO eight months ago. At least that's what the current administration is counting on. They know the mainstream media is in their back pocket, and "has their back." And I DO think the American public gets it, if they are paying any attention at all. They know Benghazi was September 11th, they know it was a "terror attack," they know it wasn't a stupid video that absolutely NO one had ever heard of, and they know this was pure politics. And everyone is sick of politics. For the younger generation, this is "the new norm," so they have nothing to compare it to, like we Baby Boomers do. Essentially, the prez and his minions DID NOTHING that night. They let Americans stay under siege with no help, and told the military to "stand down," and went to bed and let people die... And the prez went campaigning in Hawaii the NEXT DAY... Maybe he didn't want to ruin his trip to Hawaii. Maybe he could care less about an ambassador in a foreign country. Maybe his campaign just couldn't have that black eye - not then and not now. Maybe he could care less about our military in general.
And now we have "whistle blowers" - people who want the truth out there, people who have been told to shut up and demoted in the mean time. Good, decent people who were shocked at this administration's calls on this situation. And we even had a congressman say this week, about this, that "death is a part of life." Say what?! It's infuriating.
Meanwhile the American public just wants to obsess about the 'crisis du jour' which at the moment is the three young women who were kidnapped and finally found a decade later. And while it is a big story, the Benghazi story affects us all because we have a keyhole into seeing how this administration thinks. And it becomes painfully obvious that they care nothing about protecting others, but only themselves. There is right and there is wrong, and this is CLEARLY wrong.
If we don't stop this kind of behavior, we have no one to blame but ourselves...
