October 16th Clinton explained in an interview “I take responsibility” for Benghazi.
Lima, Peru (CNN) — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday tried to douse a political firestorm over the deadly assault on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya, saying she’s responsible for the security of American diplomatic outposts.
“I take responsibility,” Clinton told CNN in an interview while on a visit to Peru. “I’m in charge of the State Department’s 60,000-plus people all over the world, 275 posts. The president and the vice president wouldn’t be knowledgeable about specific decisions that are made by security professionals. They’re the ones who weigh all of the threats and the risks and the needs and make a considered decision.”
But she said an investigation now under way will ultimately determine what happened at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, where Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed on September 11.
“I take this very personally,” Clinton said. “So we’re going to get to the bottom of it, and then we’re going to do everything we can to work to prevent it from happening again, and then we’re going to work to bring whoever did this to us to justice.”
As luck would have it, she is now indisposed to testify about Benghazi, unfortunately. It seems responsibility has a front door and a back door. And this is the time for the back door.
But it does not come as a big surprise.
On a related note:
Hillary Clinton’s possible 2016 bid for the presidency won one high-profile supporter Tuesday in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
Pelosi said during an interview with NBC’s Andrea Mitchell that she hoped Clinton – who will retire soon from her job as secretary of state – would make another bid for the presidency in four years.
“Wouldn’t that be exiting?” Pelosi said. “I hope she goes – why wouldn’t she?”
“She could be president of the United States, and she would be great,” added Pelosi, who was speaker of the House and stayed neutral during the 2008 primary between Clinton and Barack Obama. “And if she decided to run, I think she would win. She would go into the White House as well prepared, or better prepared, than almost anybody who has served in that office in a very long time.”.
Another damn dictator that’s probably worse than the current sumbitch! Everyone already knows the full scoop on these murders and there is no way in hell Barry and Gaffer were unaware of what was going on. So Hitlery throws herself under the bus (to stop the investigation) and then radicals jump for joy she’ll run for prez in 2016???? These f*ckers would vote for Lucifer, if he ran for prez….

Dave LOL shall we say “dictator in waiting”? You said it, and all with a nice smile on their face. She wants to be drafted and forced to have to run.(then anointed like O-bastid.) Something about force and liberals. Good point: more devious and sinister, the better theylike ’em. Let’s see when she crashes the Party, didn’t build that shadow aparatus for nothing. Can’t testify when she has nothing to lose and only days to go. She has to get home to her knitting and bake cookies, ya know. 🙂

Definition of “Taking responsibility” via Hillary Clinton:
–Agreeing to, someday in the future, perhaps be willing to discuss, obliquely, things that may or may have not occurred during your tenure that may or may not have been ordered/supervised by you, but then conveniently not being able to have that discussion because thedogatemyhomework, …I mean, you became “ill”.–
There. Be sure to write that down so that you can refer to it later.
