Hilary Clinton on Benghazi: "What difference does it make how 4 Americans died?"

[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=abSn_sakfJ4#!]Great Job Clinton, great job.[/url] The fact is, Mrs. Clinton, is that it [i]does[/i] matter. Understanding the reasons as to why the terrorists did what they did is a crucial part of finding, understanding, and eliminating the threat itself. This is why we delve into the societal, economic, and political conditions, for example, of Afghanistan to better understand the groups operating against us there instead of just blowing up terrorist enclaves. This is pure incompetence in the part of Clinton, and I can only hope her replacement is much more effective than she is.

  • I agree that the disclosure of that information makes no difference to the general public, if that's her point.

      • "With all due respect, the fact is, we had four dead Americans! Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make?" It makes a difference, Madam Secretary, because the state department lied about it for three weeks in what could persuasively be argued as an attempt to downplay the blunder and prevent this situation from destroying the president's chances of reelection. Frankly, he should have lost the election because of what occurred, and they knew that, and tried desperately to cover the truth so that when the deception was revealed, it would have been old news and out of the minds of the citizens.

        • Hillary Clinton has announced plans to surgically change her gender, and replace her skin with the skin of a Libyan male in order to infiltrate Islamist militia groups and make sure that the United States always recieves the most current information in its intelligence reports concerning the troubled state.

          • When quoting someone it's customary to put parentheses or brackets around the parts that they, you know, didn't say.

              • There is only one way to stop the deaths of Americans in North Africa and the Middle East and the answer is pretty obvious but most likely won't happen.

                • You want to know why the terrorists did what they did? I can tell you already - it's cause they HATE AMERICA, they hate was America stands as, they just hate it. The Republican outrage on this issue is purely politically motivated, and nothing more. It does not matter why they attacked the embassy, because it's over. Done with. President Obama has had two embassy attacks in his one term as President. While Bush was President, there was near ten.

                  • Despite the rest of the quote, the fact is the administration lied and covered up what happened. Now that Obama was re-elected, we will never find out what really happened.

                  • I'm not surprised that people online choose to ignore the second half of that quote, but when I see "news" channels do it, I change the channel. Simply inexcusable.

                      The full quote: [quote]What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again.[/quote] The partial quote is incredibly misleading.

                          Wow. She sounds like an ass. I certainly hope the very next words out of her mouth don't complete shatter the narrative constructed by the out-of-context quote you presented in the title of this thread. "It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator." Oh.

                          • Secretary Clinton clearly said this out of a moment of intense frustration. These Benghazi hearings demonstrate the unbelievable hypocrisy of the Republicans. They condemn President Obama for being absent for 7 hours on 9/11/2012 whereas President Bush was reading a children's book to first graders when 9/11 happened. He failed to heed any warnings in August of 2001, too busy on his ranch. The Republicans are feigning outrage for political points, plain and simple. They see Clinton as a major threat in 2016, and so they must demagogue the immensely popular Secretary of State in preparation for 2016.

                            • Um, what? Did you actually listen to the whole comment or did you turn it off after you finished the clip Fox News is showing repeatedly? God damn, people died and we all care. People need to stop spouting this kind of bullshit for political gain.
