Hillary Clinton Again Calls Benghazi ‘Biggest Regret’ as Secretary of State

BOSTON – Hillary Clinton reiterated Wednesday that her darkest time as secretary of state was the deadly 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Mrs. Clinton, in a speech to more than 3,000 people at a women’s leadership conference here, called the attack and loss of lives “very, very painful” and “certainly the biggest regret that I have as secretary of state.”

She noted that she had taken responsibility for security at the diplomatic outpost, where Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans died, and had pledged to do everything she could to ensure a similar tragedy won’t happen again.

Aw Hillary, Sub-Driver pegged you out of the gate.

What difference does it make Mrs. Clinton?

She has ridden his coat-tails to infamy...

Benghazi attack could have been prevented if US hadn´t ‘switched sides in the War on Terror’
Daily Mail ^ | 4/22/14 | David Martosko

Posted on April 23, 2014 2:37:00 AM by Nachum

The Citizens Commission on Benghazi, a self-selected group of former top military officers, CIA insiders and think-tankers, declared Tuesday in Washington that a seven-month review of the deadly 2012 terrorist attack has determined that it could have been prevented – if the U.S. hadn´t been helping to arm al-Qaeda militias throughout Libya a year earlier. ´The United States switched sides in the war on terror with what we did in Libya, knowingly facilitating the provision of weapons to known al-Qaeda militias and figures,´ Clare Lopez, a member of the commission and a former CIA officer, told MailOnline.

I wonder if she regrets staging a photo op with the caskets and lying to the families right to their faces.

The same thing I was thinking.
She is trying to fake remorse now so she can run in 2016.

Actually, her commenting on this for publication can only mean that her polling is showing that Benghazi is a major drag on her in the minds of voters.

This statement on her part is the beginning of an inoculation campaign prior to her run for the presidency.

The truth is that she was AWOL and her weakness caused the death of some fine American heroes, and then she tried to cover it up with a stupid video.

This ties in the WaPO’s trying to rewrite the history of Benghazi about 3 months ago when it said “the video really was important.”

She and her sycophants are getting data that shows Benghazi could be a killer.

What does she regret other than what it has done to her poll numbers. She hasn’t admitted what if anything she did wrong or who called the stand down order.

Pray America wakes up

This is false. If she had taken responsibility, she would have resigned immediately.

When Obama/clinton said stand down ( in other words, no help is coming) what were they saying…..regarding the other 34 people? She said, “you are on your own. You are a political liability and therefore we (obama/clinton) know you are going to die and we don’t give a damn. You are a political liability and if Al Quaeda killls you, that works for us (obama/clinton).

A regret? That makes the victims come back to life. A few years ago you had another biggest regret and as first lady when Vincent Foster died you said that was a big regret.

Ms Rodham, you had lots of regrets don't you?

She’s a real pig...a wicked witch on steroids, terminator style. You destroy her and somehow she gloms back together and goes some more.

Some of the worst things in the Clinton administration were her doing. Wasn’t she implicated in Waco? Didn’t she have a lot to do with multiple cover-ups?
Some people have forgotten how bad the Clintons were - giving technology away via Loral, not taking out Bin Laden, etc. etc. We know she inserted herself as co-POTUS despite not being elected so have to give her equal credit (/s) for these things she probably doesn’t regret.

I remember reading that she said “I just want to run something”. Great - she just wants to run our lives and our world because her ego tells her so. She certainly is very impressed with herself despite her multitude of disasters. PIG!

“Regrets? I’ve had a few....But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway. And more, much more than this, I did it my way.
So what difference does it make?”
Damned bloated buffoon. Write your frickin’ autobio and move along. There’s the door.

Hillary is an imbecile and not a leader. Hopefully Benghazi will make it impossible for her to even be nominated

She’s trying to cover for her cover up. Typical Clinton tactic.

She makes this whole episode sound sorta like a scary near-miss by a meteor:

She spent big bucks ADVERTIZING the scandal on Pakistani television —specifically in order to INDUCE the outrage and riots that would later give them cover and suggest these feelings had PRECEEDED the attack.

This didn’t simply “happen” to Hillary —she’s in up to her NECK in all of this.

She WANTED this.

People need to wake up to the reality that every now and then Hillary up and KILLS people, in this case four of them.

Vince Foster ended up in Fort Marcy Park because he showed signs of maybe not staying on the reservation about Hillary’s central role in the kid-killing final conflagration at Waco:

Killed him, rolled him up in a carpet, dumped him, then broke into his WH safe and stole the letter that spilled the beans regarding the whole matter.

I would think the brutal murders of four Americans would be considered an accomplishment to Clinton..after all she is used to being a cold blooded killer
