Punishment is a fundamental concept in the criminal law.
There is disagreement about its purpose deterrents that it discourages some.
Rehabilitation.
But it makes some better.
Incapacitate -- that a -- some -- And retribution.
Where we get an -- for -- -- But although there -- disagreement about its purpose all agree that in order to be effective punishment must be swift and it must be certain.
Hello and welcome to justice -- -- -- This week Hillary Clinton agrees to face congress on -- -- And this week President Obama threaten Syria not to cross his red line.
-- for Hillary.
More than three months after the brutal murders of four Americans Hillary agrees to talk about the findings of the very report.
They -- -- commission.
On her very own department.
And what her very own department will now do to remedy the security problems.
So -- now.
Like -- offended that a criminal case you wait until every one else has spoken.
There's a CIA timeline.
And DOD time line.
Sworn testimony from State Department and military personnel.
Just about everything authority out so what's to tell.
Is she gonna tell us that there wasn't enough security.
That we should've done more.
Honestly were all getting tired of the questions that we already know the answers to.
What we want to know.
Is why our consulate did not meet the minimum physical security standards why our ambassador pleas for help were ignored.
Did she the president watch in real time as a drone showed Americans begging for backup wishing in the situation room.
How about another one of those situation room pictures.
Why did know -- and help.
And why when the body of Tiger Woods was brought back to Andrews Air Force Base did she Dallas father they were going to arrest the man who made the video.
British she even come up with a video.
And finally.
Will her latest accountability review board's findings.
He filed right alongside the one from the 1998.
Attacks on our embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
A lot of good that report did Chris Stevens -- woods planned Doherty and John Smith.
So here we are three months later.
If we didn't respond that night to help Americans -- -- anyone think we're gonna punish the people who kill them.
And by the way the only one arrested from that mess is some schmuck who violated his probation.
Which brings me to the issue of punishment the United States and its place on the world stage.
We have been very clear to the Assad regime but also to.
Other players.
On the ground.
That.
A red line for us is.
We start saying.
A whole bunch chemical weapons moving around or being evil us.
But in recent days that's exactly what intelligence agencies fear -- happened the Syrian troops have indeed makes chemicals for Serran.
A deadly nerve gas so will the president follow through on its threat.
What to do Mr.
President.
How about change the Red Line.
The president United States is made very clear.
That there will be consequences.
There will be consequences.
If the Asad regime.
Makes a terrible mistake.
By using these chemical weapons on their own people.
-- we just move the Red Line.
Why would anyone be afraid of us.
But -- I forgot.
President Obama has made this world safer -- he's restored America's -- respect around the world.
So we threatened what the Red Line that we conveniently moved after it was crossed and then we claim that -- respected around the world.
Really.
All the while the Middle East chanting death to Americans burning our flag while we give them money.
And so here we are another week where we don't react to the -- for Americans where we back off -- threats.
All the while continuing to -- countries who don't respect us our money.
It does nothing to -- to terrorists.
-- to reaffirm to them that we are not strong.
That we don't mean what we say and we don't say what we mean.
To go to the beginning.
Punishment irrespective of its purpose must be swift and it must be certain.
The only thing that's certain right now is that we don't mean what we say and we don't say me me me.
