Clinton: 'I take responsibility' for security ahead of Benghazi attack
CNN ^ | October 15, 2012 | Elise Labott

Posted on 10/15/2012 5:01:35 PM PDT by maggief

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.

Recall during the '07 rat debates that Hillary! scoffed at zero and went on a rant claiming she was the real progressive and would take a back seat to no other true believer. That must mean that her goals for America, so far undisclosed, are similar to zero's. Consequently, today's disambiguation must mean she believes they are so close to successfully remaking America - if zero gains another term - that she's willing to take a brief hit for their shared goals.

A fish always rots from the head first. The next question to ask Hillary is: ‘Were you implementing, or opposing Obama policy when you made those decisions’?

Perhaps she relinquished “security” in Benghazi to a CIA mission?

Parsing??!

When asked about how he will deal with Hillary...

Obama said- “Pardon?”

Well, if she can stomach being publicly humiliated by her president husband cheating in the oval office under her nose, she can certainly fall on the sword for the deaths of 4 Americans for BHO. How disgusting. She’s nothing but a 2016 whore.

I told my husband it is "battered wife syndrome". After Bill, she is used to letting a man make her look very bad. So, BO tells her to take the fall, and she takes the fall. Although, I have to say, I am very surprised that Bill allowed her to take the fall for this massive screw-up.

Either that, or she was offered something big. Hubby suggested a Supreme Court seat.

"Obama can’t hide on this."

By blaming the video, and continuing to make that claim, they caused more demonstrations and riots to occur around the world, with the possibility of further injuries and loss of life. It wasn't just a little white lie. Their lie created the potential of more physical harm being done to American citizens all around the globe.

I remember someone by the name of Reno saying they would take responsibility for a Dem f. up once. That faded into oblivion.

So she "takes responsibility" and "the president doesn't make any decisions regarding State". So now the rest of the cabinet heads know they've got no cover. They will be hung out if needed.

Stranger still, does the kenyan not make any decisions regarding the other thirteen major departments of his cabinet?

(Well, besides the DOJ, DOE, DOT, DOD...but not DOS?)

The Kenyan must go.

SCOTUS would be perfect.
Huma could do a stint in law school and become her clerk.

Actually, Romney just won the election.

“Presidnt Obama, Hillary Clinton had taken responsibility for the deaths of 4 Americans in Benghazi. How come you haven’t fired her yet? For that matter, how come you haven’t fired Eric Holder for Fast and Furious? That isn’t a leader.”

...and what is the punishment??

No punishment. When dems "take responsibility" it means the New York Times knows who to praise for being sooooooo courageous. Remember the Times fawning of Janet Reno?

(If this had been a Republican Administration the MSM would dub the mess Benghazigate and we'd still be hearing about it five years from now.)

For dems? Time to move on...

YOU said it! She knew it was going to bite her eventually, once the Republicans quit chasing soap bubble, Susan Rice, and Brack Obama, who wouldn’t have a clue, having turned over foreign policy to Hillary and having never attended half the Intel briefings, where he could maybe find out how bad Hillary undercut our guys, stripped them of armor and weapons, no clearance to fire first, and shipped them out of theater to feign “normalized relations” with Libya.

Cool to put her big girl pants on today, in PERU! Courageous.

Hillary will never be president. She will be too old and fat in 2016. Heck she already is.

Now The Disaster has to be hammered with “when are you going to fire Hillary for being so clueless?”

This does not take The Disaster off the hook. Let her tell this to the House.
