2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)An American Ambassador died on Hillary Clinton's watch. He was HER employee; MURDERED. [View all]
I don't hear much about Christopher Stevens. An American Ambassador is the face we as a country present to the world.
Time was, Ambassadors were serious business. Ambassadors. Liasons between US, and the fucking WORLD. They were not chosen by fiat, they were chosen because they had GRAVITAS. They were the kind of people who could, (without meaning any offense here) "sell snowballs to Eskimoes". They understood protocol. They were able to sit with People of Power in other countries and soothe their ruffled nerves.
Today they're campaign contributors. Caroline Kennedy couldn't speak a WORD of Japanese when appointed, nor had ever had the inclination to learn. Today an Ambassadorship is a gift.
Christopher Stevens didn't FIT that mold. He was truly enthralled with the people of Libya and people of the Middle East at large. He spent most of his adult life trying to make their lives better.
In the days before he died, he sent URGENT messages to the Department of State entailing the breakdown of security in Libya. He literally begged for an increase in security. Someone denied those requests, and in the end, Christopher Stevens and four brave men who endeavored to keep him safe died.
Hillary Clinton claims not to have seen his URGENT messages. Contemplate this: The Secretary of State, the person Christopher Stevens was DIRECTLY accountable to, claims NOT TO HAVE SEEN his requests, and because of that, he was brutally murdered along with four others.
We don't hear much about Christopher Stevens today. The MURDER of a US Ambassador somehow doesn't merit discussion.
It happened on Hillary Clinton's watch. It happened because she "didn't see" his URGENT requests for extra security in a deteriorating place.
Forget the bullshit about the "video" and the fact that when Ambassador Stevens was murdered only a few thousand people THE WORLD OVER had seen it. THAT'S not important.
What IS important (at least to me) is HOW an AMBASSADOR could reach out to the SECRETARY OF STATE in an URGENT manner before he was murdered, and NOT have his cables reach the Secretary of State's EYES.
If those cables DID reach Secretary Clinton's eyes; she's LYING. If those cables DIDN'T reach her eyes... there was a systemic flaw in the way her Department of State was run and as we all know: SHIT RUNS UPHILL, all the way to the top.
This bullshit spewed by Hillary's supporters... this "BENGHAZI! BENGHAZI! EMAIL EMAIL" bullshit is insulting to the very core of my being. Sometimes I feel like screaming back "CHRISTOPHER STEVENS! MURDERED!" in response.
An American Ambassador was murdered. He reached out to the Secretary of State in an URGENT manner requesting extra security. The Secretary of State says she never saw his cables and within hours of his death blamed it on some dickhead in Cerritos, California and the Department of Homeland Security sent more people to his house than the WHOLE FUCKING AMERICAN GOVERNMENT sent to save an Ambassador.
She wants to be President? Not really. She wants to be the FIRST FEMALE President.
I could NEVER support her... thank goodness I don't have to. I live in California.
