Clinton says she's responsible for diplomats

[car-15]

sorry if its a dupe I have not seen it posted here..discuss. I say she is taking barrys bullet on this one.

LIMA, Peru (CNN) -
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday tried to douse a political firestorm around the deadly assault on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya, saying she is responsible for the security of American diplomatic outposts.

"I take responsibility" for the protection of U.S. diplomats, Clinton said during a visit to Peru. But she said an investigation now under way will ultimately determine what happened in the attack that left four Americans dead.

The attack on the night of September 11 killed Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, and three other Americans at the American consulate in Benghazi.

The Obama administration has been heavily criticized after Vice President Joe Biden said during last week's vice presidential debate that the White House did not know of requests to enhance security at Benghazi, contradicting testimony by State Department employees that requests had been made and rejected. After the debate, the White House said the vice president did not know of the requests because they were handled, as is the practice, by the State Department.

Clinton said President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are not involved in security decisions.

"I want to avoid some kind of political gotcha," she added, noting that it is close to the election.

Clinton also sought to downplay the criticism that administration officials continued to say the attack was a spontaneous product of a protest over an anti-Muslim film, a theory that has since been discarded. In the wake of an attack, there is always confusion, Clinton said. But the information has since changed, she said.

The secretary of state also described the desperate scene in the State Department during the hours of the attack on the night of the assault. It was an "intense, long ordeal" as staff tried to find out what had happened.

Clinton said her mission now is to make sure such an attack will never happen again, but also that diplomacy, even in dangerous areas like Benghazi, is not stopped.

"We can't not engage," she said. "We cannot retreat."

Really? As Secretary of State security at embassies in your responsibility? Good job, Hillary, you're not as dumb as I thought.

Whether Dear Leader knew of the requests or not, he appointed Hillary to her post, and she is incompetent. He shares responsibility.

This whole situation is so disgusting.

They may not be directly responsible for the security of diplomats but they were the ones insulting our intelligence by trying to pass a story that high school students could see through. Obama was the one who flew off to attend fund raisers rather than consult with his military and intelligence experts to figure out what happened, why and what our response options were.

The fact they were trying to duck political responsibility for an agenda that sacrificed the lives of four Americans at the altar of political correctness doesn't surprise me or even get me that excited. The fact that they concocted such a stupid story and tried to hold to it for THREE FREAKING WEEKS offends me because it shows they think we're all as stupid as Occupy _______ protesters.

Even if I believed they were told this cockamamie story by the intelligence community (and I don't), just how much of an intelligence professional do you have to be to see Sep 11 anniversary, rocket propelled grenades and precision mortar drops to think "hmmmmmm ... maybe this wasn't a spontaneous 'protest' ..."? She can say all she wants, Obama & Biden still lied through their teeth.

Unfortunately 50% of the voters either do not believe it or It's bush's fault.
The O crew is falling on their swords faster than strippers at $5 bills.

This does indeed stink. You can bet 1,000 rounds of 5.56 that this was part of a backroom deal to protect Beeho/Biden and deflect blame.

If she is responsible then she should be held accountable. Get rid of her!
