Trump's Baghdad is not Hillary's Benghazi
American Thinker.com ^ | January 4, 2020 | Daniel John Sobieski

Posted on 01/04/2020 6:47:24 AM PST by Kaslin

The second the first Apache attack helicopter appeared over the sovereign American territory that is the American Embassy in Baghdad, one knew that things would be different this time. We would see the difference between a President Obama resting for a fundraising trip to Las Vegas the next morning and a President Trump, having avenged the killing of an American contractor, dispatching Iran’s top general and commander of its Quds Force before he could kill any more Americans.

Instead of a Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ignoring repeated warnings from her ambassador and not answering his pleas for more security, we had a Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announcing that members of the 82nd Airborne and support forces were being dispatched to within striking distance. There would be Marines on the ground, not contractors fighting on a CIA-annex roof, waiting for in vain for their government to send aid to them and their dying ambassador. This time it would be different. There would be no “Benghazi.” At this point, what difference does it make to have a President Trump instead of a President Obama or, God help us, a President Hillary Rodham Clinton? A world of difference, as the drones flying overhead this time were not there to send back useless pictures of American carnage, but to target the missiles of America’s swift sword and end the life of the terrorist responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans in Iraq and the maiming of thousands with the precision explosives he provided Iran’s sock-puppet militias in Iraq.

Hillary! is a self-serving beotch. But more importantly, she is a danger to us all.

How this LOSER ever got this far in life will always be a mystery to me. Yes, I know. Coattails, cunning, no problem with exposing or dispatching enemies, etc.

If she had ever channeled all of her ruthlessness and greed for Good versus Evil where America was concerned, we would be living in a different world.

Notice how Hillary, who is usually on every freaking talk show or late-night show out there, has suddenly gone completely quiet?

love this story

honestly, Iran’s miscalculation might help Trump get elected.

The ideas in this article need to be repeated often this year.

For one Trump isn’t running weapons to Muslims so our guys are loose ends to be tied up.

To paraphrase Hillary what difference did a few more bodies make to them if it meant protecting their sorry Left wing asses?

Ah, I completely forgot about this one bit,

“President Obama resting for a fundraising trip to Las Vegas the next morning”

And thus Obama escaped blame, only Sec State Hillary took the sword with no consequences.

Thanks for bring my BP up early in the morning....

- but it had the possibility of being 1979 again. Under Obama you can be assured it would have. But not under today’s POTUS. Thank God for Donald Trump.

They were probably in cahoots with the dems and were planning on using it to defeat Trump this year.

That backfired on them, to say the least.

Failure? Depends on who’s side you’re on. She got all the weapons to AQ she wanted. So technically she did not fail.

Iraqi security let this mob into the Green Zone and stood watching as they ran against the embassy. So those commanders need to be exposed.

The mob itself had no firearms or tactics. They didn’t even have helmets. So this was really just some rock throwers with a fresh $20 in each of their pockets.

The real known whereabouts of BO that night are still the most guarded secret in American history.

Yup. Hilly’s e-mail hacked to reveal that the /Ambassodor would be at the consulate.

The only thing they have in common is that Soleimani perpetrated both.

I'll warrant the suicidal responses by the Democrats WILL help President Trump get re-elected.

Benghazi is still fresh enough in peoples' minds to make an instant comparison.

Yeah, the election is 11 months away, but the Democrats' continued out-of-touch reactions will go right up to voting day.

Hillary legacy is the opposite of President Donald J. Trump’s legacy...
