Hard meetings

Shopping at Kroger's today, Hillary Clinton and her book were staring at me several places.
So I grabbed the book, and flipped open to a random page.
Page 410, part of the Benghazi chapter.
She tells of the 29 recommendations of the Benghazi report.
And the 68 action points from those recommendations.
And how, before she left as Secretary of State, she made sure every area had a "timeline" and had begun the processes they were assigned.
Great.
Recommendations.
Action points.
Meetings.
Processes.
Didn't the State Department have those things before Sept. 11, 2012?
All of that work before that day didn't help the Ambassador and others there.
Which is the point.
Having discussed problems isn't dealing with problems.
It's appearing to do something.
It helps you when bad things happen.
It doesn't help those involved in the bad things.
