EXCERPT

"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, were 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, Clinton said.

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

Didn’t see this coming!

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

That was the lamest waste of airtime ever. Ever.
Fog of war? Another LIE. All she did was throw meat to MSM so they can continue to ignore the story.

[rawhide]

obamma does not control foreign policy? Why is he president then?

[American Constitutionalist]

" The trash that occupies DU is already throwing bouquets at Hillary for “taking one for the team.”

If that's the case then what about what the woman from the DNC and Obama's campaign spokes woman said, and how the MSM with this Administration tried to shape the narrative that this matter is not important... just bumps in the road...

[The Cajun]

She’s actually made it worse.

Shows the Marxist is NOT in charge....LOL.

Least we not forget that he *Partied Down* in Vegas the next day.

[Coldwater Creek]

Isn't that the truth! She has NO pride or shame. Mrs. Clinton is pure evil.

[mandaladon]

If this is true, why didn't she say it earlier? Why only one day before the second debate?

[Dan(9698)]

She can be ambassador to Lybia.

[rawhide]

Very good point!

[butterdezillion]

Obama has to explain why he and everybody else saw the whole dang thing on video feed as it was happening, and Obama went to bed instead of ordering any help for this situation.

And why his first response was to apologize for that pesky freedom of speech that we have in America. And why he stuck with that story long after everybody knew it was a lie.

Don’t we all!

[WilliamofCarmichael]

"Ha! Ha! Now she knows how I felt being forced to say 'I made the decision. The buck stops here.' They kept talking about what happened to poor Vince Foster.. so I thought what the hell . . . . "

[katykelly]

I’m sure bill is being paid . They do nothing without payment , lest we forget the 90’s .

Note she only took responsibility for the security of the diplomats, not for the intelligence mess or the lies of Susan Rice, Obama, Carney, and others.

[Deepest South]

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

If that is the case then who ordered the killing on Bin Laden? and who should get the credit.

The President has been taking it so far

[morphing libertarian]

Resign before you get more employees killed and we lose more embassies and consulates.

[FredZarguna]

That's right. The cover-up is the issue.

Look for two things next: 1) 0 will announce his "full faith" in HRC to attempt to put his finger in the di(y)ke. His numbers with women have sprung a leak. 2) Some highly publicized drone strikes in Libya that will kill nobody in particular, which the Libyan government will gratuitously protest in order to burnish 0's "tough guy" image.

But the question still remains: why did the cover-up go on for nine days?

[Tuanedge]

I think a lot of female dem voters are going to be disillusioned with Zero after he used Hillary as his scapegoat...particularly those that campaigned for her presidential nomination.

I think he just dug his hole a little deeper for himself...

[Jane Long]

Who’s taking responsibility for the BS about the film?

Because 0, Susan Rice and Hilary ALL blamed the film!!
