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.

The buck always stops at the top. 0 was going to throw Hillary under the bus, so she jumped under first.
It won’t get him off the hook; nobody is buying it.
Why?
Perhaps a guarantee from the Chicago thugocracy for 2016 to let her run without a primary challenge- the coronation she wanted in 2007.
Any other thoughts?

It’s not predicting an election outcome, so D/R/I is immaterial. Polls of adults track left, but they don’t track 2:1 left. Bill Clinton is the most popular politician in the country at this moment, and he isn’t going to be less popular in four years if his heart doesn’t kill him. The belief that he will share another “co-presidency” with Hillary is a nightmare for us among Independents, and you’re living in a dream world if you think the Clinton machine is finished just because Hillary hasn’t taken very good care of herself lately.

I just pointed out to you that this was somebody who was working closely with these people.

My focus is and always has been on the CRIMES committed, and right now every state SOS, every state AG, every member of the DNC EXecutive Committee and DNC counsel Bob Bauer, every state dem party chair, and every member of the Commission on Presidential Debates has been notified that Hawaii has confirmed that the White House BC image is a forgery that hides the legal non-validity of the actual record.

We don’t have to prove where Obama was born. In order to make the positive statement - under oath - that Obama is Constitutionally eligible, the signers of the Official Certification of Nomination have to be able to prove where Obama was born. And they can’t do it based on a Hawaii birth record, because there is no legally-valid Hawaii birth record. They all knew that. They have committed the crime of perjury and fraud. And because Obama doesn’t have a valid Hawaii birth certificate he can’t have used it for legal purposes and HAS TO KNOW that he committed fraud and perjury when he signed any statement saying that he was qualified to serve as President.

I’m sorry, but I believe that the little people should be able to report crimes by the big people and receive the same due process as the big people.

A judge in Kansas convicted a soldier of “marriage fraud” and lying to the government. Wouldn’t go lenient on the guy even though he cooperated with the investigation and trial - because it is a particular travesty, the judge said, that the soldier is supposed to be SERVING the country and had taken an oath.

IOW, that soldier’s oath is SO SERIOUS that it means any lies on his part are unconscionable. And yet we’ve got Eric Holder and the whole dang rabble lying with every breath they take while under oath before the US Congress - and everybody plays along because God knows the oath to protect and defend the US Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic is PIDDLES compared to a soldier’s promise to serve. The little people are the only people whose oath is serious enough that it warrants consequences when they lie and commit fraud. God knows the holder of the nuclear football has no special legal responsibility or culpability.

I believe the 14th Amendment was right when it guaranteed due process and equal protection, regardless of how powerful or little somebody is. I believe nearly every person in government today is SPITTING on that Constitution, just as surely as that Saudi Muslim woman spat on other customers in Florida. It is even MORE vile when it is done by those who took an oath to protect and defend that Constitution.

Just now saw the actual Hillary “responsibility interview”. How casual! Sitting down, in a casual interview, in Peru, she drops the responsibility word, and before the end of her sentence, BLAMES THE INTELLEGENCE!

Without a single intellegence source named, or known on the planet, to even remotely link to her fictitious account of a “video protest”.

Shameful. The Clintons polish their empty legacy on the backs and in this case, the bodies, of others by using scandal or tragedy effectively.

Hillary should RESIGN if she wants to appear sincere, but she daring Jarrett and Obama to ask for her resignation. Ha!

She took the fall- now she will go off to be the President of Yale. She can later run for President if she wants.


You kidding? Her political career is toast. It’s over.

I've always wondered if using the video that incited Muslim rage was a set-up for an attack on the First Amendment. . .

What is the source that Soros believes he is God? I know he acts like it - I would just like to know if he actually said it.

Don’t forget: David killed the giant Goliath with a little tiny stone, slung from a slingshot, right between the eyes. Many battles have been won by small, out-numbered armies armed with the power of prayer. Whatever he may think, we know the reality that Soros is not God, and he will one day face the Lord to answer for his crimes. We should pray daily for his conversion or removal. God has removed wicked people before - and He will do it again.

” 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. “

You are spot on!

I don't see Obama benefiting from this. What I do see is the possible reigniting of the

movement.

the puma movment was always a fake.

there were no pumas. It was intended to (and did) succefully fool the mccain campaign into overestimating support from women.

we need to be pushing third parties and leftist causes over with the dummies and the huffpos. Perhaps they need to form a sex fetish political party.

I don’t care if she was “working” with these people or not. She would not be told things which could lead to murder charges. Simply is NOT believable.

Hawaii has done nothing of the sort.

“I’m sorry, but I believe that the little people should be able to report crimes by the big people and receive the same due process as the big people.” No one has claimed that they should not or do not but you. However, “little” people rarely have any real evidence to back up their charges.

We all want to know what that is all about.I’m trying to put it all together.Why would Hillary take responsibility for Benghazi? To have it make any type of sense you have to make a bunch of assumptions.

1.The heat is on obama and they need to take the heat off with someone who could conceivably be guilty rather than zero.

2. This necessitates that zero and Hillary/bubba,the Chicago mob and the Clinton mob have made some sort of deal.Its all money and power with them so that the deal.

3.Hillary will now be the candidate in 2016 and the two factions have agreed to help one anther now and later for some reason.

If the above is true the heat goes off obama for the next two debates and if he wins Hillary goes away anyway and they can absolve her of any wrong doing after the election. If zero looses they can still absolve her. Either way she is viable for 2016. People will have forgotten about Benghazi by then anyway.It will be a million news cycles between now and then.

Either way Hillary remains viable. The heat is off zero and both regimes will support both zero now and Hillary later. This may preclude the chicago regime from placing another obama in for zero as they would be so inclined to do. Just guessing. Another sideline is that Hillary taking blame diverts attention form a myriad of things going on as well. Another well oiled Chicago mob trick.

He meant that as a warning to the Soviet Union and China, not as a grab for power

That's how I took it at the time. The spokesweasel was hemming and hawing , making it seem we were headless and Al Haig recognized the problem and took prompt action.

David Horowitz and Richard Poe have documented Soros’ views from his own writings and interviews, in their book, “The Shadow Party”. Back in 2008 I printed out a blog post which had an article by Richard Poe from FrontPage Magazine.com, October 30, 2006: “Media Matters’ Attack on The Shadow Party”.

Here is one of the sources from their analysis:

Connie Bruck, “The World According to Soros”, The New Yorker, 23 January 1995, 78, quotes Soros:

“It is sort of a disease when you consider yourself some kind of God, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out.”

A quote from Poe’s article:

“Soros has stated that he wants America to lose the War on Terror. In an updated preface to the 2003 edition of his book “The Alchemy of Finance”, Soros admits that his greatest fear is that the Bush Doctrine might succeed - that Bush might crush the terrorists, tame the rogue states of the Axis of Evil, and usher in a golden age of what Soros calls ‘American supremacy’. While insisting that ‘the concept’ of ‘American supremacy’ is ‘flawed’ and bound to ‘fail in the long run,’ Soros nevertheless admits that it might succeed in the short run, and he dreads the possibility. He writes, ‘What I am afraid of is that the pursuit of American supremacy may be successful for a while because the United States in fact enjoys a domionant position in the world today.’”

A couple other Soros quotes from that article:

“The main enemy of the open society, I believe, is no longer the communist but the capitalist threat.”

“The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States.”

“It is necessary to puncture the bubble of American supremacy.”

What she was told would not lead to murder charges. Bill Gwatney was killed by a guy who was killed by the cops; no way for him to talk. Stephanie Tubbs was killed by an “aneurysm” - again, no autopsy that checked for foul play.

These people mock the rule of law by boasting openly while always being one step out of legal reach. I have experienced this first-hand from them.

But they didn’t count on the Hawaii state registrar having integrity, and that blew it for them. The truth is now out in the open.

Alvin Onaka confirmed to AZ SOS Ken Bennett that the White House image is NOT a “true and accurate representation of the original record on file”, and that even though the claims are on the record on file, Onaka cannot verify Obama’s gender, birth date, birth city, birth island, mother’s name, or father’s name. Attorney Larry Klayman notified DNC Counsel Bob Bauer of that fact in a letter delivered 4 days before the DNC Convention began. A copy of that letter can be seen at http://butterdezillion.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/complete-klayman-letter-to-bauer.pdf And an explanation which shows the significance of the Mississippi Democratic Executive Committee’s verification request is at http://butterdezillion.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/wheel-of-fortune-v-family-feud-final.pdf And a post explaining how the verification for KS SOS Kris Kobach confirms the understanding of the AZ verification is at http://butterdezillion.wordpress.com/2012/09/27/hdoh-did-not-verify-what-kansas-requested/

I am a little person who has evidence to back up my charges.
