Hillary Blames Some Benghazi Failures on Hired Hands
The Weekly Standard ^ | June 9, 2014 | DANIEL HALPER

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tried to deflect some of the blame for the failure of preventing the Benghazi terror attack on hired experts. She made the comments in an interview with Diane Sawyer:

Sawyer asked, "Is there anything you personally should have been doing to make it safer in Benghazi?"

"Well," Clinton responded, "what I did was give very direct instructions that the people who have the expertise and experience in security --

"But personally you --"

"Well that is personal, though, Diane. I mean, I am not -- I'm not equipped to sit and look at blueprints to determine where the blast walls need to be or where the reinforcements need to be. That's why we hire people who have that expertise," Clinton responded.

"I wonder if people are looking for a sentence that begins from you, 'I should have, I should have,'" Sawyer responded.

That's what advisors are for Hillary. You're supposed to ask questions and give directions.

Let's face it....Obama had total control over you.

LOL. So Hillary’s response is basically “I told them to be careful”.

Better question. Where is all the millions that went missing while you were running state and could any of those missing funds been money that was supposed to increase security for the compounds in Benghazi ?

She has to blame somebody. Given time, I like what she came up with. It’s better than some Obama excuses!
