It makes a difference

It makes a difference

""Clinton: Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans? What difference, at this point, does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator.""

It is important to identify the bad actors so they can be removed from power. It is also important to identify the enablers (the Democratic Party and Republican Party) so they can be reformed or eliminated.


""“What difference, at this point, does it make?” That line has, predictably, been used as a shorthand indictment by Clinton’s critics. Writing now, she says, “In yet another example of the terrible politicization of this tragedy, many have conveniently chosen to interpret [those words] to mean that I was somehow minimizing the tragedy of Benghazi. Of course that’s not what I said.….Nothing could be further from the truth. And many of those trying to make hay of it know that, but don’t care.” Fair enough, except that Clinton then adds,
My point was simple: If someone breaks into your home and takes your family hostage, how much time are you going to spend focused on how the intruder spent his day as opposed to how best to rescue your loved ones and then prevent it from happening again?""
The last is a strawman argument, not made by her opponebts.  A better answer is who left the door unlocked, or who took my gun.  In the immediate aftermath of the criminal action, these things are not the first to be considered, but if the results are bad due to the crime, the retubution to the enablers and stupid needs to swift.

Bad actors will be expelled from the home to fend for themselves.
