And The truth that we knew all along finally is confirmed in her own words:
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton sent an email to her campaign chairman John Podesta in 2014, who was then-counselor to President Barack Obama, that said Saudi Arabia and Qatar are both giving financial and logistical support to the Islamic State and other extremist Sunni groups, according to a recent Wikileaks release.
Clinton sent the email on August 17, 2014 to Podesta. It was an eight-point plan to defeat ISIS in Iraq and Syria. Clinton’s email said that the United States should support Kurdish forces on the ground with U.S. military advisers and avoid the use of a conventional ground operation.
“While this military/para-military operation is moving forward, we need to use our diplomatic and more traditional intelligence assets to bring pressure on the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL and other radical Sunni groups in the region,” Clinton wrote.
The former secretary of state added: “This effort will be enhanced by the stepped up commitment in the [Kurdish Regional Government]. The Qataris and Saudis will be put in a position of balancing policy between their ongoing competition to dominate the Sunni world and the consequences of serious U.S. pressure.” (source, full email text here)
The reason why four Americans operatives died in Ben Ghazi was because these people- along with many of the other terrorist groups in the Middle East- were American assets backed with oil money from the Gulf States. This is an insight into the workings of American geopolitics, and how Clinton and many other "political leaders" view this entire struggle as their personal game of Risk in which gains are measured in dollars added to their personal accounts and losses are measured in lives and PR campaigns.
But really, as Hillary once said, "What difference does it make?"
