Hillary Clinton on Benghazi: ‘There will never be perfect clarity’
The Washington Times ^ | June 6, 2014 | By David Sherfinski

Posted on 06/06/2014 3:25:06 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton insists “there will never be perfect clarity” or full agreement on everything that happened regarding the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya — but that does not mean a lack of effort on getting to the truth.

“There will never be perfect clarity on everything that happened,” Mrs. Clinton writes in her book, “Hard Choices,” according to excerpts published by CBS News.

“It is unlikely that there will ever be anything close to full agreement on exactly what happened that night, how it happened, or why it happened. But that should not be confused with a lack of effort to discover the truth or to share it with the American people.”

The more she talks about it now..trying to shape the debate before the hearings start..the more it means that she’s really worried about what’s going to come out..

Hillary labors to explain away Benghazi---but it's a political Catch 22 as she's now confronted w/ the Bergdahl swap ON TOP OF Benghazi.

THE WORM SQUIRMS I love to see Hillary squirm----she's being forced to express diametrically opposing views---approving the Bergdahl swap b/c of her "concerns" about Bergdahl's well-being......at the same time she's forced to answer why she abandoned four Americans to their savage fate in Benghazi.

=============================================================

BACKSTORY---News hound Bob Woodward Definitely Doesn’t Buy Hillary’s Benghazi Denial. Woodward doesn’t believe Hillary's whine that "it's all about politics." The reporter known for making news claims there are still “serious, unanswered questions about this.”

Hillary's book, Hard Choices, stoutly declares that everything there is to know about Benghazi has already been revealed....she is hoping to silence Republicans by charging politics is behind the continuing probe.

Bob Woodward will not be dissuaded. ".....one of the questions I have -- did she keep a diary? Obama confirmed to Woodward that he keeps a diary. Woodward noted. “Ronald Reagan kept a very detailed diary of Iran Contra, and he finally turned it over.” The veteran Post reporter also knocked Clinton and Obama....... noting Benghazi is not about partisan politics, as they stoutly aver. “There are facts,” Woodward asserted on Fox News. “There is neutral inquiry. And there is a way to look at this and get that information and see if there is new information.”

===============================================

It's nothing short of amazing that Hillary "remembers" every detail WRT the Bergdahl swap....and her part in it. Hillary actually "remembered" that she “was personally and intensely involved" in the debate over swapping five Taliban commanders for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in 2011 and 2012.

Even though Hillary--naturally--had "severe reservations" about the potential deal, and was demanding stricter conditions for the release of the prisoners than what President Obama settled for last week.

I love the part where Hillary valiantly asserts she "had a framework deal drawn up that was much tougher on the Taliban than what ultimately got done two years later."

==========================================

Frankly, it's such a relief that Hillary remembers the Gitmo/Bergdahl details b/c she had a nasty fall and was subject to blackouts.

Hillary has had mucho problems "remembering" details about Benghazi. So its pretty amazing that Hillary "remembers" every detail about her part in the Bergdahl/terrorist swap.

Course, Hillary feels a blackout coming on when she hears or sees the name Benghazi......good thing she has a diary (/snix).

What a cop out way to say it. Typical of liars.

This statement could apply to anything. There will never be “perfect clarity” or agreement on the Super Bowl, or on the Olympic games, or on any event that ever happens.

Yes, like Vince Foster clarity.

But, it’s really not that complicated.

For the election, Obama needed to show that he could be tough on Islam.

He and Hillary planned to have the Ambassador kidnapped and then Obama would get tough on the terrorists and they would give the Ambassador back. Maybe he would bomb an aspirin or baby milk factory. Obama a hero, election in the bag.

Hillary stripped away all the security to make the kidnapping easy. Problem was that some Navy Seals showed up and started kicking some Muslim butt. Terrorists figured they were set up and the real plan was to wipe them out. They thought that Obama was trying to be the hero by defending the Ambassador.

Things spin out of control, Ambassador is abused and killed Muslin style. Obama and Hillary have to go into lie mode. A video? Really?

It seems to me that the facts of what happened seem to fit well into this scenario.

One thing we have perfect clarity on—Hillary’s a dirty liar.

There COULD be clarity on what happened, there’s people who were there there .... they’re just not allowed to talk, being threatened with jail time if they speak the truth about what they saw and heard

This in the “Land of the Free” ... and all we get from Big Media is crickets - the same Big Media that didn’t hesitate to deploy armies of investigative reporters to look into Sarah Palin’s and Mitt Romney’s pasts ....

We know this much: Liberals like Hillary Clinton are doing everything in their power to make sure there is NEVER clarity. She was one of the liars... she’s one of the people attempting to stop the investigation or cripple it.

For Hillary to say, “‘There will never be perfect clarity” is insulting beyond words to the process ....

Not when the MSM and the Demo-rat party go around with blinders on.

Many talk of the Fog of War.

Even worse is the Fog of Politics — intentional deceit.

We don;t need perfect agreement, or perfect clarity.

We just need the truth.

In perfect Clintonian fashion, she constructs the straw man of “perfection”.

What tripe.

Hillary Clinton on Benghazi: ‘There will never be perfect clarity ... or I’ll be doing a stretch in the SLAMMER.’

Amb. Stevens evidently died of smoke inhalation before the attackers found him.

Still, that event would've queered the deal and doesn't conflict with the rest of your theory (which I share, by the way).

Left wing strawman rhetoric.

No one is expecting full agreement. However, Hillary is COVERING UP the facts which would show us more of what happened. She's a lying witch.
