No, Hillary Didn't Care About Chris Stevens
Townhall.com ^ | October 28, 2015 | Ben Shapiro

Last week, the media hailed Hillary Clinton's supposed political triumph at a hearing of the House Select Committee on Benghazi concerning the terrorist attack of Sept. 11, 2012 that ended in the murder of four Americans, including American ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens. Clinton appeared calm and collected, even as she lied repeatedly: She said that she believed a YouTube video still bore some responsibility for the terrorist attack, despite the fact that she told the Egyptian prime minister the day after the attack that the video had nothing to do with the attack; she insisted that political hack Sidney Blumenthal didn't act as an advisor, even though he routinely emailed with her about policy; she stated that she'd been transparent about her emails, although that nonsense has been rejected by the State Department.

Most of all, Clinton suggested that Stevens had been responsible for his own murder. She said that he "felt comfortable" on the ground, and that he was merely joking when he emailed about whether the Benghazi compound would be closed. "Chris Stevens had ... a really good sense of humor," Clinton laughed. "And I just see him smiling as he's typing this." Stevens' State Department team in Libya sent requests for additional security 600 times. They were rejected.

After Clinton finished lying, she went home and hung out with her entire team. She partied. "I had my whole team come over to my house and we sat around eating Indian food and drinking wine and beer," Clinton told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow. "That's what we did. It was great. ... They did a terrific job, you know, kind of being there behind me and getting me ready, and then, you know, just talk about what we're going to do next."

As an apparent afterthought, she added to Maddow, "The point is, what are we going to do both honor and the people that we lost, and try to make sure this doesn't happen again."

Chris Stevens was always an afterthought to Clinton, despite her crocodile tears at the hearing, where she complained, "I would imagine I've thought more about what happened than all of you put together. I've lost more sleep than all of you put together." She didn't give Stevens her private email address, though Blumenthal had it. She couldn't remember holding a single conversation with Stevens after he was appointed ambassador to Libya. The night of his death she sent an email with the subject line "Chris Smith," mixing up his name with that of fellow diplomat Sean Smith. She spoke to survivors only days later. The night of the attack, she didn't speak with the Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta or the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey.

Clinton's aggressive case for the invasion of Libya led to the overthrow and killing of dictator Moammar Gadhafi -- an event for which Clinton was happy to take credit, laughing, "We came, we saw, he died." She then completely ignored Libya as it turned into a terrorist hellhole, because that inconvenient fact undercut her narrative of strength and purpose. Her State Department refused to grant additional security requests because doing so would have implicitly recognized the failure of her war. Then, after Stevens died, Clinton and her team lied to the American people and the families of the slain, pinning the murders on an unforeseeable YouTube video-driven attack, rather than an utterly foreseeable terrorist attack.

Clinton is a coldly manipulative, deeply ambitious politician willing to say and do anything to achieve power. She was always that person, which is why she lied to Americans from in front of the flag-draped caskets of the murdered men in Benghazi. And she is that person now, too, as she laughs and eats Indian food hours after maintaining her lies once again before the American people.

Put yourself in Hillary Clinton’s shoes on September 11, 2012.

You find out that the enemy is attacking one of your facilities in Benghazi and our Ambassador is there and he can’t be reached.

What do you do?

A. Ask for any help you can get especially from the Secretary of Defense and Chairman of The Joint Chiefs.
B. Get to work on making up and putting out a lie concerning the reason the enemy is attacking.

Why did Hillary act so different from how every other American would have acted?

Benghazi was orchestrated by her and Obambi for the sole purpose to get rid of Ambassador Stevens because he was part of the CIA gun smuggling

Shows she is inept, indifferent, selfish, and unable to think quickly in crisis and panics.

If this was just about poor management of a crisis by Hillary, why would she immediately be putting out a lie about the reason for the attack?

Wouldn’t she immediately put the blame on contractors and Libyan militias for providing poor security?

She would immediately blame the intelligence services for not knowing this attack was coming.

Instead, her #1 concern is coming up with a lie to coverup the reason for the attack by our enemy.

That means.......

SHE IMMEDIATELY KNEW THE REASON WHY THE ENEMY ATTACKED US AT BENGHAZI AND IT WOULD CONVICT HER IF EVERYONE IN THE WORLD KNEW THAT REASON.

And that reason wasn’t the gun running going on at the CIA Facility.

Remember.....Hillary was lying about the reason for the attack BEFORE the enemy attacked the CIA Facility.

For all she knew, the enemy was only attacking the diplomatic facility.

All Hillary cares about is Hillary and her hunger for power.

The really outrageous part about it all is that Passive-Aggressive LAUGH she trundles out, every time she faces a question she doesn’t like.

The laugh says:

“Your question scares me, and so I’m going to laugh in the hopes of convincing others that your question, here, is totally ridiculous. I’m going to take the feeling of isolation you’re trying to heap on me, and I’m going to dump it on YOU.”

It’s a very aggressive laugh and it’s unmistakable.

She’s been doing it FOR DECADES.

Stevens ask Queen Hillary for help on 600 e-mails. She forgot to read the ones from him but not the ones about raising money for the Clinton Foundation.

Remember.....Hillary was lying about the reason for the attack BEFORE the enemy attacked the CIA Facility.

The apologies for the video started long before there was any attack in Benghazi.

The Cairo embassy tweeted it's first apology for the "video" early in the morning on Sept. 11th 2012 many hours before the attack in Benghazi. Even before the protests in Cairo.

U.S. Embassy in Cairo chooses Sep. 11 to apologize for hurt Muslim feelings; Hours later, angry Egyptian mob storms compound; Embassy stands by its apology; White House disavows it

It is also interesting that no one seems to have brought this up in the Benghazi hearings, any of the other investigations or in the MSM.

You must remember that B is the “normal response” for the likes of Hillary. She can’t conceive of any other response.
