Hillary Clinton: How could this happen in a country we helped liberate?
Washington Examiner ^ | September 12, 2012 | Charlie Spring

Posted on 09/12/2012 11:32:03 AM PDT by Zakeet

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton admitted this morning that the attack on the U.S. embassy in Libya was "not easy" for Americans.

"Today many Americans are asking, indeed I asked myself, 'How could this happen? How could this happen in a country we helped liberate? In a city we helped save from destruction?'" Clinton asked.

Clinton explained that this question "reflects how confounding the world can be" and reminded Americans to be "clear-eyed in their grief."

I think the term is blowback.

I have a feeling Obama is saying.... I knew I should have never trusted a Clinton! He is regretting it now less than 60 days to election.

At least Saddam Hussien was given a trial, although no one probably question the outcome, and humane execution.

This reminds me of the comments make by Michael Berg after radical islamists beheaded his son, Nicholas.

“But... but... they didn’t know they were killing their best friend. Why?!” (Paraphrased )

If she’s that clueless the she should be shown the door.

Not that Hill has ever been clueless a day of her life.

Gee there, little girl. Are you that completely stupid?
They’re muslims. That’s what they do.

Stevens was a Berkley educated, peace corp clown who thought the Arab Spring was a good idea and actively supported the same. He was brutally murdered for his life long stupidity.

"How could this happen? How could this happen in a country we helped liberate? In a city we helped save from destruction . . . reflects how confounding the world can be"

The short form of her comments: "Unexpected!"

Gee could it be about Obama bragging 21 times at the DNC about killing Osama?

To paraphrase Obama’s radical Chicago minister Wright, “Obama’s chickens have come home to roost”.

This dried-up, alcoholic clintoon fool is merely an insipid, feckless, clueless, lesbian-loser who apparently has a lover of the moozlum brotherhood as her closest confidant. What could go wrong on her watch? Shouldn’t this elephant-legged monstrosity of a human female be in a jail cell somewhere... permanently? Wait...maybe she’s preoccupied still looking for those Rose law firm records. No...wait...she “found” them after several years in her attic office in the White House. When asked about all this didn’t she testify “I can’t recall dozens (if not hundreds) of times? Such intellect. The “World’s smartest woman”??????? Bah...marxist loser hag.

Hillary saying this out loud is icing on the cake.

The timing couldn't be better. I dont remember these type of problems under Gaddafi after he struck a deal with the US, or even after Reagan dropped those bombs.

You reprehensible, addlepated COW!

I have no grief, I have intense ANGER and it's directed at you and your ilk and your lack of the same anger that I feel! I'm as angry as the day the USS Cole was attacked! I'm as angry as the day the WTC was attacked! Beirut Marine Barracks, Kenya Embassies...These people have chosen to be our enemies and fine words and "feel good joy-joy" diplomacy aren't going to change that one bit! Kill or be killed is their philosophy and until that gets through to your )@(&!#% brains it's going to be the same thing over and over again!

You and this administration are responsible for all of this. Chris Stevens himself is responsible for this. His death is his own doing as he pushed this BS through just like you and this administration did. This blood is on your hands.
You wanted a "peaceful" Islam to garner support for your actions.
You needed a "peaceful" Islam to justify your actions.

And even now you can't even bring your sorry asses to condemn theses fanatics for their actions which you helped bring about!

The families of rest of the people killed have my sympathy, not my grief.
I hope that they are just as angry at this administration as I am 'cause you MFers deserve every bit of anger directed your way!

I could help having flashbacks to 1979 last night. It really is quite similar.

How? Obviously, YOU DID THAT, MADAME SECRETARY HILLARY.

(C'mon, people, recognize some NLP when the cow uses it. She's enacting a confusion statement for repetition that is the exact opposite of your common sense! Don't repeat it - and don't enact it by accepting the idea that she's stupid, either!)

Boehner and the rest of the Rhinos in Washington need a kick on the boot for going after Bachmann for bringing up the issue of the Muslim Brotherhood!


No kidding....it was disgraceful. What more will it take to recognized muslim Islamists for what they are....violent hatred with a plan to kill everyone last one of us unless we bow to Allah.
