No, the real, the untold story is who directed the named State security officals to hold up the security?
In her testimony before congress, Ms Lamb named names of those directing her to reject requests for security from the field. Thus, Hillary’s taking the blame is merely admitting what everyone already knew. She actually did nothing. Everybody in the world already knew she was at fault.
The question is who set the State Department security prohibition for Libya they followed. Where is the directive from the White House political Czar? To whom and in what form was the directive delivered to the Department of State?
Sure - fair question. There's probably other reasons, too, but my first answer is 'media laziness' - the Washington press corps won't venture outside of the Beltway to do anything.... and definitely won't go to Peru. The State Dept won't make anyone else available to the press while she's gone. The foreign press in Peru doesn't give a rat's rear end about Libya - they only care about local issues. So basically, there's nobody who's gonna answer questions... except at the daily White House briefing.
Right on. A lie Obama himself kept telling until Tuesday, last week.
Ref post #57.
I was thinking the very same thing.
Does anyone have an answer?
Thank you.

Well stated, thanks.
Ref post #62.
Thank you...I think :)
In other words, she has isolated herself from the U.S press who will ask her a zillion questions she does not want to answer if she were home?
Just asking.
Thank you.
Ref post #61.
Thank you. That makes sense.
So Hillary said, "I'm taking responsibility...bye." That allows it to come up during the debate (not sure it will), leaves the Prez to look like an empty chair again, makes Hillary look like the "man" of the administration (can you think of ANYONE who has taken responsibility for anything in this administration??), and makes the press ask the WH about whether she's really the one responsible or not.
She'll probably be back in another week... which exceeds the attention span of the general public.
Between you and Bert, you have answered all my questions.
I thank both of you very, very much for your time.
Appreciated... I just wish the whole world wasn’t in a state in which we had to wash everything through a cynical filter of political calculation.
Thank you very much again.
I really appreciate your comments.
There was real time intel and it has been testified to in front of Congress. And I guarantee you there was a person who made sure Obozo and crew were aware of that intel within hours of the event. Its their job, its what they do and if they didn't notify the President they would be fired.
Obama is trying to cover up the fact he was trying to coverup a terrorist incident that killed one of our Ambassadors and three other Consulate staff.
Obama has engaged in an impeachable offense.
Peru is not relevant. News out on another thread that I posted that Hillary said the same thing before the debate but the WSJ didn’t do the story. She had to give the info to another source.
I did a quick search, do you have a link?
