Hillary: WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE!? in response to HER incompetence of getting our ambassador killed in Benghazi

Trump: Attacks unfair media jackals,Promises to work for US THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,Make America Great Again! Sounds JUST like the typical American and not some elitist **** who is a life long politician that makes fun of child rape and sounds about as fake as they come!

I uh, think that was "what difference does it make" whether the assault was inspired by a video or not. In fact I know it was. And that question has never been answered, because it doesn't have one.

Nice try but we have these things called "memories".

In case you haven't heard, these are some of the things Trump says. You can't say they are lies, because there is video of him saying each and every one of them.

This is a man who said that more countries should have nuclear weapons, including Saudi Arabia.

This is someone who has threatened to abandon our allies in NATO – the countries that work with us to root out terrorists abroad before they strike us at home.

He believes we can treat the U.S. economy like one of his casinos and default on our debts to the rest of the world, which would cause an economic catastrophe far worse than anything we experienced in 2008.

He has said that he would order our military to carry out torture and the murder of civilians who are related to suspected terrorists – even though those are war crimes.

He says he doesn’t have to listen to our generals or our admirals, our ambassadors and other high officials, because he has – quote – “a very good brain.”

He also said, “I know more about ISIS than the generals do, believe me.” You know what? I don’t believe him.

He says climate change is a hoax invented by the Chinese, and he has the gall to say that prisoners of war like John McCain aren’t heroes.

Exactly.

He praises dictators like Vladimir Putin and picks fights with our friends – including the British prime minister, the mayor of London, the German chancellor, the president of Mexico and the Pope.

He says he has foreign policy experience because he ran the Miss Universe pageant in Russia.

And to top it off, he believes America is weak. An embarrassment. He called our military a disaster. He said we are – and I quote – a “third-world country.” And he’s been saying things like that for decades.

Those are the words my friends of someone who doesn’t understand America or the world.

And they’re the words of someone who would lead us in the wrong direction. Because if you really believe America is weak – with our military, our values, our capabilities that no other country comes close to matching – then you don’t know America.

Dear Pogo Either you didn't get the memo or I didn't.

The last I heard it had been acknowledged there was no such video protest, and that's why people
were so upset and distrusting of Clinton, Susan Rice, and the administration for starting and putting that out.

Even Wikipedia seems to acknowledge that this attack was part of an ongoing pattern of building up of militarized hostile forces as well as previous attacks. This was part of a progression and wasn't a "spontaneous protest to a video that could not be detected in advance."

I understand the point about "what difference does it make" what triggered the attack if was part of progressive aggression and attacks in a series.

If you want people to hear the "rest of the context" in which Clinton made that statement,
it would HELP if the "rest of the context" around the video and attack was acknowledged, too!

I can see how BOTH were taken out of context with the whole.

I can see that if Clinton kept focusing on that video "out of context with the ongoing attacks already happening"
then people end up doing that to her, taking her statement "out of context with the rest"

Thanks Pogo for clarifying how this is a "two way street"

==================================================================
Initially, top U.S. officials and the media reported that the Benghazi attack was a spontaneous protest triggered by an anti-Muslim video, Innocence of Muslims.[23] Subsequent investigations determined that there was no such protest and that the attacks were premeditated.[24] Captured suspect Ahmed Abu Khattala stated that the assault was indeed in retaliation for the video Innocence of Muslims.[25]

The "Brigades of the Captive [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_Abdel-Rahman']Omar Abdul Rahman" released a video of what it said was its detonation of an explosive device outside the gates of the U.S. consulate on June 6, which caused no casualties but blew a hole in the consulate's perimeter wall,[51][52] described by one individual as "big enough for forty men to go through."[53] The Brigades claimed that the attack was in response to the killing of Abu Yahya al Libi, a Libyan al-Qaeda leader who had just died in an American drone attack, and was also timed to coincide with the imminent arrival of a U.S. diplomat.[54][55] There were no injuries, but the group left behind leaflets promising more attacks against the U.S.[56][/URL]
[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Benghazi_attack#cite_note-56']In the months [between February 2011 and September 11, 2012] leading up to the attack on the Temporary Mission Facility in Benghazi, there was a large amount of evidence gathered by the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) and from open sources that Benghazi was increasingly dangerous and unstable, and that a significant attack against American personnel there was becoming much more likely. While this intelligence was effectively shared within the Intelligence Community (IC) and with key officials at the Department of State, it did not lead to a commensurate increase in security at Benghazi nor to a decision to close the American mission there, either of which would have been more than justified by the intelligence presented. ... The RSO [Regional Security Officer] in Libya compiled a list of 234 security incidents in Libya between June 2011 and July 2012, 50 of which took place in Benghazi.[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Benghazi_attack#cite_note-collins.senate.gov-64'][64]

The desire of the State Department to maintain a low profile in Benghazi has been cited as the reason why the State Department circumvented their own Overseas Security Policy Board (OSPB) standards for diplomatic security.[65]:74–75 In the aftermath, Clinton sought to take responsibility for the security lapses at Benghazi and expressed personal regret.[66] In her January 2013 testimony before Congress, Secretary Clinton claimed security decisions at the Benghazi compound had been made by others, stating, "The specific security requests pertaining to Benghazi ... were handled by the security professionals in the [State] Department. I didn't see those requests, I didn't approve them, I didn't deny them."[67][/URL][/URL]

Yes, Stevens wanted the State department to keep Benghazi opened, and yes he denied extra security which was offered to him for that trip....but truly, only the terrorists are to blame.
