Lima, Peru (CNN) -- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the buck stops with her when it comes to who is to blame for security ahead of a deadly assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya.

"I take responsibility" for what happened on September 11, Clinton said in an interview with CNN's Elise Labott soon after arriving in Lima, Peru, for a visit. The interview, one of a series given to U.S. television networks Monday night, was the first she has given about the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

Clinton insisted President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are not involved in security decisions.

"I want to avoid some kind of political gotcha," she added, noting that it is close to the election.

The attack killed Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, and three other Americans at the consulate

zer0 loses in this deal. It makes him look like a spaz when she takes responsibility rather than him.

No surprise. She’s not planning to be in the Obama Administration in 2016 so there’s no need for her to resign in DISGRACE.

Yeah, Janet Reno accepted full responsibility for the horrible burning mass murder of women and children at Waco too—fat lot of good it did cuz she kept her job and kept up her jackboot behavior like shipping poor young boys at gunpoint to communist tyrannies.

People forget just how depraved and wicked the Clinton's were—they are experts of mendacious mea culpas.
PIAPS fell on her sword for the bigger Marxist and he damn well better reward her!

It is not like a Clinton to fall on his or her sword. She will use that sword to stab Obama in the back—just you wait.

Clinton accepts full responsibility for Benghazi, then she will leak everything that blames the White House.

The only way this makes sense to me is that she is as deeply involved as Obama is in hiding some dirty dealings in Libya. I believe it has to do with the weapons that were discovered missing when the dust cleared in Benghazi.
