What Does It Matter?

The cogent statement is at about the 3 minute mark...when Sec Clinton rather acidly asks why it matters what the cause of the attack on the Embassy in Benghazi was, we just need to figure out what happened and prevent its re-occurrence.  Well, since she promised that the maker of the film would be brought to justice (and indeed he is the only person of interest currently in prison) it certainly matters to him.  It matters to the slain heroes' families, to other military and State Department personnel, and to many of us here in America who are simply onlookers as well.  It matters because the statements made by this administration were a clear effort to cover up the real reason it happened, and the people responsible for it happening.  It matters because you can't figure out what happened without looking at that aspect.  It matters because the lie continued for so long, even after the truth was obvious, that there must surely have been something to conceal.  It matters because the truth always matters.

Sec Clinton's weak efforts to then cast the blame onto GOP lawmakers for reducing the budget has been quite adequately refuted by demonstrating the incredibly wasteful  use of appropriated funds for such important things as Kindles (16 million) books (250K) art (4.5million) Pakistani democratic institutions (whatever they are) (2+ billion), climate change (1 billion) and so on.  Apparently each Kindle cost over 6K!  You know, I can buy a top of the line Kindle Fire HD for less than 500$.... I wonder why theirs cost so very much?  But somehow, they didn't have enough money to spend on adequate security.  Hm, who makes the decisions of what the dollars they are given get spent on.... it isn't the GOP legislators, they simply appropriate funds.  The specifics are left to ... the State Department.

The Secretary obviously needs Calgon (or anyone) to take her away.  So does America.

  1. Clearly rehearsed performance. Feigned outrage, lies to protect herself and divert attention from the truth of her and Obama's total failure. The media will continue the cover-up and ignore this. We are in a new universe, and what these tyrants don't get is that another revolution is coming. Whether it turns out to be American or French remains to be seen. I go with American with a touch of French--as Michael Savage once said: "there are a lot of overpasses to adorn in America." Had this happened on the watch of a Republian president, we'd hear about Benghazi 24/7/365. CNN would play the tapes of the event even more than they did the Rodney King excerpt they repeated until they helped fuel the Los Angeles riots. They've declared war on us--that's why they want our guns.
