Button, button

To the editor:

Although I am not a supporter of Hillary Clinton, I would have liked to have seen a much different report about her actions as they addressed all that was occurring in Benghazi on the night of September 11, 2012.

To think that anyone, much less the Secretary of State, would fail to send troops to assist fellow Americans in dire need is unconscionable!

And now, today, Hillary Clinton attempts to continue to brush her failure into the recesses of distant memory. She wants to, “move on.” I do not doubt that. Page after page, the glaring failures of that situation are detailed in the report just out. Can anyone excuse her failed judgment that night? And the question she now asks in her speeches concerning Donald Trump is, “Do we want his finger on the button?”

I should think that the obvious answer would be a resounding “YES.” Hillary Clinton had her chance to make a decisive decision and she blew it, causing the deaths of four Americans.

Trains that ran on the rails of the Union Pacific railroad never carried along the amount of baggage that she tries to ignore.

Her mistakes were many: Her decision- making abilities, at best, poor. And she has the gall to question someone else’s capability?

If we disregard her fiasco as a candidate and allow her to succeed in her bid for the White House it will be a mockery of democracy.

And so we have witnessed her boldness in view of all her shortcomings but she has the single- mindedness of a tsetse fly going for a cow. The dangers in the world today cry out for a proven decision maker.

For sure it is not Hillary Clinton!
