“Nothing New.” This was the instant
reaction of the liberal media to the long-awaited congressional report on
Benghazi. Not that the media was looking for damning evidence of their
darling’s culpability. No, the report does not find Secretary Clinton guilty of
wrongdoing. But is the media itself guilty of whitewashing this scandal?
Further, are the supporters of Hillary Clinton guilty of anything? I submit
that they are indeed guilty of willful ignorance if not of moral vacuity.
How, I ask, can anyone dismiss this
scandal, the greatest example in our time of pervasive moral turpitude in our
leaders, none more culpable than Hillary Clinton. We can blame the failure to provide
the necessary security requested repeatedly by our Americans at risk in
Benghazi on the incompetence of the state Department under the Secretary’s
leadership. We can deplore the failure of the military to act when there was
still time to rescue Americans under attack, and blame it on Hillary and
Defense Department officials paralyzed by indecisiveness. But we cannot forgive
the brazen and despicable lies spread by the Administration in the aftermath of
the massacre, all for crass political purposes.
Benghazi happened just 56 days
before the presidential elections, and nothing could be allowed to suggest that
the President was wrong in his assurance that al Qaeda was on the run and
terrorism on the wane. So Susan Rice went on the Sunday talk shows to blame the
attack on a video; the President repeated the lie in front of a United Nations General
Assembly; and Hillary Clinton went on the air to perpetuate the lie, even as
she had been telling the real truth to family, staffers, and the Egyptian Prime
Minister. Worse still, she lied to the families of the deceased as the coffins
of their loved ones were passing before their eyes.
Hillary Clinton’s epic history of
lies and scandals is unmatched in American politics. But to my mind there is no
greater example of her soulless depravity than her lies after Benghazi. Do her fawning
fans not know how thoroughly corrupt she is? Do they care?
