In a comment that now seems akin to her "what difference does it make" dismissal of the Benghazi, Libya, terror slayings of U.S. officials, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that how U.S. soldier Bowe Bergdahl ended up in Taliban hands "doesn't matter."
Clinton was interviewed last June after President Obama traded five Taliban prisoners for Bergdahl, who on Wednesday was charged with desertion.
Obama was criticized by many after the trade, with some suspecting that Bergdahl sympathized with the Taliban.
But in the interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer, Clinton defended Obama in comments that she may have to answer for on the campaign trail.
"If you look at what the factors were going into the decision, of course there are competing interests and values. And one of our values is we bring everybody home off the battlefield the best we can. It doesn't matter how they ended up in a prisoner of war situation," said Clinton.
"It doesn't matter?" Sawyer asked.
"It doesn't matter," Clinton said. "We bring our people home."
What difference does it make.
She says this A LOT.
“We bring our people home.”
Sounds nicer than “We trade 5 enemy generals for a deserter, not because we are traitors and sympathizers, but because we take care of our own.”
Oh, yes, Madame Secretary, tie yourself to that albatross! Now say something nice about Bradley “Chelsea” Manning and Traygone, too!
Actually, nothing matters. Except me getting my hands on the power of the Presidency.
All six should have been shot, as per tradition.
She is just as clueless as Obama and his entire administration.
Sounds nicer than We trade 5 enemy generals for a deserter, not because we are traitors and sympathizers, but because we take care of our own.
She wasn't talking about Bergdahl!
_UCK HER
Is “doesn’t matter” her life’s motto?
Can anyone believe this piece of lying, careless woman is running for President and her numbers are up due to the millions of stupid , ignorant, and dumb voters as well as a media who have done everything they can to help her out like they did for their fairy boy messiah?
Not with a 100 mile pole.
*****And one of our values is we bring everybody home..***
In body bags....is OK with HRC!!!!!!!
Wonder if Michelle saw this picture. Obama looks more lovey with white women than his wife.
