What Difference Does It Make?

 February 5, 2014  ~TPATH~ If the question “what difference does it make?” is referring to the Sept. 11th attack in Benghazi – the answer is “plenty!”

Of course it didn’t seem to make too much difference to then Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.  You remember Hillary – the 2008 presidential candidate that would have us believe that the nation could rest peacefully if she was the one to answer a call regarding our security in the middle of the night.  Perhaps the distress calls made by those being attacked in Benghazi weren’t made in the middle of the night; or perhaps the calls made earlier regarding security issues for those in Benghazi weren’t made in the middle of the night either; perhaps that’s why Mrs. Clinton couldn’t answer any of those calls effectively.

Yet this woman would have you believe that she is someone who is capable of leading the most powerful nation in the world.  I wonder how she would have reacted on a different Sept. 11th – the one that changed our lives forever in 2001.  Would she have retreated behind closed doors and sent out one of her lackeys, such as Susan Rice, to speak to the nation in its time of distress?

But let’s ask the same question of the man who is actually there to answer the phone in the middle of the night.  What difference did it make to him that our embassy was under attack and that the lives of Americans were under siege?  Apparently it didn’t make much difference to him either.  He didn’t miss a step in boarding Air Force One and heading out to Vegas to campaign.  And he didn’t miss a step in walking away from the crying mother of our Ambassador who was killed in Benghazi after handing her some flowers.  And it didn’t make any difference to him that one of the cousins of Ambassador Stevens was locked away in a private room by Secret Service after calling BO a liar. 

Unfortunately, this is the kind of leadership you can expect from people that do not value life. After all, why should we, the America people, expect leaders who won’t protect innocent infants in their mother’s womb to protect the rest of us? The truth is that situations that are life-threatening don’t make a difference to them – whether it be for the born or the unborn.

What happened in Benghazi might not have made a difference to Hillary or Barack but it did make a difference to others.  It made a difference to the families who lost their loved ones unnecessarily – the families of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith, and independent contractors and former navy seals, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.  It made a difference to a little baby that will never see his father, and to a mother that will never hear the voice of her son again.  It made a difference to the families of the 20 administrative personnel whose lives were saved by the valiant and selfless actions of Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.
