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."
She is going to stroll into the WH unaccosted.
She’s the willful bride of Bill Clinton.
That would almost have to be a favorite policy of hers.
“What difference does it make?” Evidently not much to you Mrs. Clinton.
Any woman that would take that habitual abuse over the decades, is unfit to defend anything, let alone the whole nation.
Ask Hillary if it matters that honorable soldiers were killed trying to rescue the dishonorable deserter!
Hillary doesn’t think hubby going to orgy island was a big thing either...
There were a few deserters who defected to North Korea. They were left behind because they were deserters, not POW’s. It’s too bad that Dianne Sawyer is too dumb to ask Hillary! about that.
Beat me to it. What difference does it make?
Sure doesn’t sound like anything a Commander in Chief should say about desertion?
I hope she is made to understand that it does make a difference in her candidacy. She is a moron, but of course FR folks already know this.
Maybe because they identifiable as women?
A Clinton spinning treason into momfeels for her idiot followers.
What a surprise.
Unless they're like, an ambassador and his security team.
In that case, what difference does it make?
That's going to leave a mark.
There must be some good military historians that can verify if her claim is accurate. Have we in fact risked lives, to bring out known deserters?
Worthless vagina talking.
She should have amended that slightly. 'We bring our people home. And if they are deserters we shoot them'.
Of course she really didn't care much about our people in Benghazi. But that is another story (ignored by our media).
Barack cannot stand Moochelle.
That's become rather obvious after six years.
The only thing that “matters” to Comrade Hillary is her political ambitions and career. The lives of loyal Americans are just “bumps” in the road instead of graves at Arlington Cemetery.
She is a psychopath, just like Obama, Holder and many of O’s advisors.
Because of the comment, I’d say she was very involved in his release.....but I guarantee there’s not one damn email mentioning him by name.
