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.

You Reap What You Sow...
That the administration has steadfastly ignored the causes and perpetrators of the Benghazi crime has led to the totally reasonably predictable commitment of ....
the Algerian crime. So why is anyone surprised? And why isn't anyone issuing a statement challenging the administration on this as well as Benghazi? Why are the media totally ignoring the devastating consequences of the administration's incompetence, or worse, purposeful set up of the Embassy and our personnel? Has America forgotten the heroes and victims of Benghazi? I would like to think not, but I am beginning to think that Americans just don't want to think about unpleasant things. When they are forced to ( like after Sandy Hook,) they seem to want to do something to make themselves feel better, rather than actually doing something perhaps more difficult that would actually make a difference. Anything having to do with the problem of Islamic terrorism (a term no longer allowed in the administration documents) is skirted, allowed to die down, denied, explained away, or just ignored until it is cold.
How many of you have read anything in the mainstream media about the trafficking of young (11 and 12 year old) Christian girls to Muslim men? Not much out there on it, but it is a big deal... hundreds have been sold, as allowed by that oh so culturally advanced authority, the Quran.
How about the honor killings of young women who are determined by their fathers or brothers to have done something unbecoming to Islam? Or the beatings of very young children in madrassas as normal punishment for minor infractions and particularly failing to progress in their studies of Islam? Or forced marriages of young girls to older men by their own parents? Or female circumcision in Islamic enclaves even in non Islamic countries? Heard anything about the Ft Hood terrorist recently? Three years since his religiously motivated murder of people there, but no justice yet. We won't even make him comply with UCMJ regs on facial hair. We can't even call him a terrorist.
Heard about the MyJihad program? It is supposed to convince us that the term jihad really doesn't refer to violence against non Muslims, nope. It is an outreach program. Outreach. Uh huh.
No, if it has to do with Islam or terrorism, you aren't likely to read or hear much about it on CNN or the NY Times. In fact, there is a considerable effort to promote Islam and even to "dialogue" with its most vicious elements, calling them non violent, decapitated, freedom promoting and other such swill. The result of this has been to convince these elements that we are weak, lack impetus and willpower, and are in fact willing dhimmis to their cause. All in the name of not appearing to be anti Islam. Turkish PM Erdogan said it... there is no radical Islam, no moderate Islam, there is only Islam! We should be listening to him. He isn't kidding.

Will Kabul be next?

Good Leads. Right.
In Benghazi, this administration has no reason to push for justice, and every reason to obfuscate. The administration promising complete transparency is the most deceptive in my lifetime. No politician is honest, but these clowns take the cake. The really sad part, or perhaps it is more scary than sad, is that there is a substantial number of Obamabots who positively worship him.

"High on a Mountaintop" Tribute to the Heroes of Benghazi by Chris Cassone
Because we must not forget this, nor let it go. I know where the four who died are, may God hold them in His hand. But where are the ones they saved? Why haven't we heard of hide nor hair from the 20 plus people that the Seals pulled safely out of the fire?
