Dainty Bret Baier

I watched Bret Baier, of Fox News Special Report, interview Hillary Clinton Tuesday night.  That's 14 minutes I'd like to have back and put to better use, like plucking hairs from my ears and eyebrows. My male pattern baldness has been recompensed with ear hair and elongated eyebrow hairs.  The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.

Less than a week ago, Bret Baier interviewed a former Air Force pilot who flew survivors of Benghazi to Germany the day after 9/11.  The Air Force officer said that the attackers of the consulate communicated with their leadership on Department of State cellphones.  So, not only did a street protest of a Youtube video inflame into an attack on the consulate with AK47s, prepositioned mortars, and a tactical knowledge of the consulate grounds, but the protesters had leaders that had given out their cellphone numbers in advance.  Perhaps, on the night of 9/11, while Obama and Hillary had their thumbs up their asses, the protesters were using their thumbs to text-message back and forth with leaders within arm's length, much like American teenagers. (The Obama doctrine is to be patient. The Islamists will grow up soon and stop lopping off heads.)

The night of 9/11 the Obama administration knew the attack on the Benghazi consulate was a terrorist attack, and not a protest of a Youtube video.  Why didn't Bret Baier ask Hillary Clinton, "How could you, madam Secretary, look at the caskets of the four dead Americans and their family members and tell them that the maker of a Youtube video will be punished for causing the deaths of ambassador Stephens and three other Americans?"  Bret Baier did not pose such a question.

During the interview, Clinton stated - just as she has written in her book - that Obama ordered the military to make every effort to protect Americans in Libya the night of 9/11.  Bret Baier did not follow up with a question about her assertion.  He should have asked, "So, the military was ordered by the commander-in-chief to do everything possible to protect ambassador Stephens that night.  What did the military do to obey that order?"  Her answer to that question would have been interesting.  Based upon all public knowledge, the military did not send, did not even mobilize, any assets to save American lives in Benghazi.  The Air Force pilot Bret Baier interviewed said he could have flown from Germany to Benghazi in four hours, but he was never ordered to prepare for a rescue mission.  Some of the Americans didn't die until seven hours had passed from the beginning of the attack.
