Hillaryâs poll numbers have been dropping because of Benghazi, mostly because we know she lied about it, and because of her infamous âwhat difference does it makeâ temper tantrum in front of Congress.
We also know that Hillary ordered security to be reduced at the Benghazi compound, and then hired a terrorist group that had previously attacked the compound to guard it.
A bipartisan Congressional investigation has resulted in a Senate report that further places the blame for Benghazi on Hillary.
According to CDN:
In what may be the most damning evidence to date of Hillary Clintonâs incompetence as Secretary of State in general and her handling of Benghazi in particular, writers Roger Stone and Sam Nunberg have laid out a serious case regarding the mismanagement by Clinton and the president over events in Libya that left four Americans dead in September of 2012.
In the Senate Select Committeeâs Benghazi Report, it is now abundantly evident that the slaughter of the four diplomats could have been prevented. âAbove all,â write Stone and Nunberg, âtheir deaths would not have occurred but for Obama and Clintonâs dangerous, Islamist-friendly, and unconstitutional military action against Qadhafi. Even worse, it is clear that Hillary put political âopticsâ above the security of American lives on the eve of a Presidential election. In that sense itâs a bigger cover-up than Watergate.â
âClinton directly denied Amb. Stevensâs requests for greater security at the Benghazi Mission. Finding #2 of The Report states that â(t)he State Department should have increased its security posture more significantly in Benghazi based on the deteriorating security situation⌠including two incidents at the Temporary Mission Facility on April 6 and June 6, 2012.â [p. 12] Both of these attacks included IEDs being directed by Islamists at the Mission.â
âClintonâs Under Secretary Patrick Kennedy signed off on an action memo âthat green-lighted the Benghazi operationâ with the caveat that the Mission be âexempted ⌠from mandatory physical security standardsâ of a consulate.
âIt strains credulity to believe that Hillary was not aware of the action memo, especially since Clinton misled the public on a âdiplomatic victoryâ in Libya as early as November 2011 when she âwas quick to announce that the U.S. committed $40 million to help Libya secure and recover its weapons stockpiles.ââ
It is noted that both Obama and Clinton supporters will spin like tops to lessen the damage from the report, and it will most likely be deemed a âwitch huntâ, but:
Witch-hunt or not, however, Clinton was her own worst enemy when she and Obama showed up at a memorial service for the fallen Americans and boldly blamed a YouTube video for the attack. Stone and Nunberg go on to report, âit is disconcerting that someone who believes she is capable of serving as Commander in Chief would lie directly to the father of the fallen Navy Seal Tyrone S. Woods on the cause of his sonâs unnecessary death. Hillary approached Tyroneâs father Charles and assured him that the Obama administration was going to âarrest and prosecuteâ the man that made the scapegoated YouTube video critical of Islam.â
The administration kept their promise about bringing the maker of the YouTube video to justice, but now, long after the Libyan incident is âold newsâ the real perpetrators of the attack remain at large.
There are no doubts that Hillary Clinton is to blame for the death of four Americans in Benghazi. Both Hillary and Obama knew right away that it was a terrorist attack, yet they persisted in lying about a little-seen Youtube video for weeks.
The mishandling, lying and covering up of Benghazi only prove that Hillary Clinton should never be President. Hopefully, a majority of voters in 2016 will remember her despicable actions, should she decide to run.
