Michele Bachmann: Hillary Clinton Should Be Disqualified From The Presidency
Source: HuffPost
WASHINGTON -- Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) roused a sleepy gathering of social conservatives on Friday with a spirited speech railing against Hillary Clinton, whose record at the State Department "should disqualify her from ever being considered for the presidency."
"Hillary Clinton reinforces daily to the American people that she is not commander in chief material. She fails to inspire confidence in practically anything that she's touched," Bachmann said at the Road to Majority Conference, an annual gathering sponsored by the Faith and Freedom Coalition.
"Mrs. Clinton has to explain to the American people why she repeatedly ignored request after request for increased security in the Benghazi mission compound. She has to explain to the American people why, when Americans were under attack, she failed to pick up the phone and call the commander in chief and demand he send in reinforcements to rescue our brave Americans on the ground," she added.
The former GOP presidential candidate claimed that Clinton, who is considering a run for president in 2016, bungled a recent interview with Fox News about the involvement of Ahmed Abu Khattala, a suspect in the Benghazi attacks who Bachmann said was "weirdly picked up" by U.S. forces last weekend.

.... because once they have started w/a story line they will stick w/it.
Of course the republican congress voted to cut funds for embassy and diplomatic
outposts but why bother w/the facts?

(23,156 posts)While I am absolutely not a fan of Hillary Clinton and do not want to see her running in two years, Bachman is so totally wrong in her reasoning that it doesn't bear being paid any attention to.

Jack Rabbit
(45,984 posts)So, Mrs. Bachmann thinks Hilary Clinton isn't commander-in-chief material. That is the most ironic statement I've heard since . . .
well, earlier in the week when Dick Cheney said of President Obama, "Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many,"

(17,176 posts)...somehow being able to get to Benghazi in time in the midst of chaos, confusion, and an evolving mission is just irresponsible. The appropriate forces and equipment were some distance away, and aside from the time-space factors there was no guarantee they'd have been able to intervene in time. It is also possible there would have been additional casualties.
General Carter Ham answered this question recently on NPR's Morning Edition.

HAM: Well, as I think back about that event as it was unfolding, we did respond. And as I have, and as others have stated to the accountability review board, to a number of congressional groups both in public and in private hearings, forces were put into motion. But the nature of the mission changed over time and we certainly were working against very significant time-distance factors.
INSKEEP: Meaning that a lot of the troops you were talking about were outside...
HAM: That's right. Mostly Europe-based and you're talking a matter of several hours to get to Libya during that timeframe in a situation that, at least the initial attack, began and then largely subsided over about an hour. So not much time to respond very quickly. But the good news is, I think, after - one of the lessons learned from the attacks on Benghazi was to provide more forces to the current commander of Africa command and have a better response capability for instances in the future.
But certainly not right now sufficient forces postured to be able to respond to any diplomatic facility across the vast African continent in a short period of time.
