HILLARY'S GOT ONLY ONE GOAL



What the Benghazi Hearings revealed or reexposed about the Secretary of State is the following: Clinton's hawkishness on Libya led to a military and political disaster in that country. Her war-mongering polices certainly set the stage and contributed to the attack on our embassy in that troubled nation and the loss of life there. As head of the State Department, it was her responsibility to protect her staff, but she failed to secure the Benghazi post in the face of known threats and numerous requests for more security. Finally, she brazenly misled the American citizenry about the cause of the attacks to protect herself and her President from political fallout during an election year. That kind of a record may not harm her nomination prospects....but will be a heavy burden to bear in the general election

After the so called "Democrat Debate", the departure of Joe Biden and the Benghazi Hearings Clinton appears to have clinched the Democrat Party nomination. But perhaps not the election. As for the nomination, she had no real competition. ShE rolled over the Lilliputians in her way. She is supremely practiced. Recall, she has been running and preparing for this for decades. Sadly for her Party and the nation, that is all she is prepared for---- campaigning. When she actually has to perform, evidence seems to indicate she sits back, focuses only on her next personal goal,takes few risks and functions poorly.

Thanks to Joe Biden's wrong-headed departure from the race, and Bernie Sanders' revelation that he is NOT to be considered a REAL candidate (after giving away the debate with his "damned email" remark) the Dems have firmly placed the nomination crown on Hillary Clinton's head. That smakcs too much of oligarchy. Also it will put a bit of a dent in the TV viewership of any future Democrat "debates". The DNC should just cancel them as a waste of time and energy.

But rather than being a tour de force for her, the Bengazi Hearing were, for all her touted preparation, and polish, revealing of the inner Clinton. She still comes off as mendacious, controlled, plotting, haughty, insincere, untrustworthy, unbelievable and unlikeable. When her vaunted "record" is examined closely one must admit that though she is, on a superficial level, "well prepared". But closer examination of her curriculum vitae reveals her preparation is illusory and thin. She has breezed through her appointments only to count them on her list of required posts. Her single-minded focus is to gird herself ONLY FOR HER OWN PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRATIONS. She has labored tirelessly these last decades, but only to check off boxes and punch holes into her belt at each land post of her presidential cursus honorum. (Featehing her own nest via the Clinton Foundation slus fund was also right up there too.) Serving the public weal or making sure her staff have adequate security are not her main concern. The probing questions of the Committee members made that clear.

Yes, she served as First Lady, for a scalywag President who was rightly impeached. As the wife of a President, she was handed the seat of a Senator, carpet-bagging her way into New York State from her native Arkansas and points west. As Senator from New York she did little or nothing during her single term. She infamously voted in favor of the Iraq War (but only to burnish her credentials as a Presidential candidate). As soon as was possible, she abandoned the people of the State of New York to run for President in 2008. She was a poor campaigner and ignominiously lost her Presidential campaign to upstart one-term Senator Barak Obama. Her loss was to a large degree based on that misguided, self-aggrandizing Iraq vote. After the election, she pushed her political weight around to land another unwarranted plum position--- the post of Secretary of State in the Obama Administration. During this period she traveled widely keeping voluminous notes on the names of heads of state, but accomplishing little of significance. Again, while doing nothing much, she still found something to screw up. While Head of the State Department she compounded that first war-mongering Iraq vote, by initiating and pressing for the President into a military intervention in Libya. That action helped destabilize another Middle Eastern nation and ended in disaster with the overthrow of the Ghadafi Government. Libya became another failed state where ISIS is today established and already beheading its enemies. As Head of the State Department, she paid little attention to the plight of the very people who she placed into harms way in Libya, ignoring pleas for more security from her own appointment, Ambasssoador Chris Stevens. He lost his life there. She wrote and published a "memoir book" (since the Presidency of eorge Bush--who didnt read) this has become a near-requirement of all presidential candidates. The massive tome she published was very poorly received. The present investigation into her actions during and after the Benghazi attacks in Libya which killed three brave Americans and our Ambassador have revealed a Secretary of State who was in good measure responsible for the parlous state of that impoverished nation, but callously ignored her own Ambassador's multiple pleas for more security while posted there. Her answer to the House Committee inquiry about this matter:"Security was not my job." But as "Secretary of Hillary's Presidential Aspirations Campaign" she had plenty of time to respond to Sid Bluementhal's political lobbying and chatty emails.

Unwilling to reveal the fact that Libya was in the hands of terrorists as a result of her and Obama's ministrations just before the 2012 elections, she lied concerning the motives of the lethal Bengazi attacks. All these revelations underscore this candidates's tendency toward mendacity, and poor judgement and her continued focus on her own political goals and aspirations rather than on actually fulfilling her mandate as an officer of the the government. If the decisions she made regarding her "private email server, her forign policy decisions and her communications are any example of her thought processes and abilities as a leader, her Party and the natiion are now threatened with a pending disaster.
