"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."

“I take responsibility,” Clinton told CNN....”

I’m sure that will ease the pain of the families of those killed due her poor judgment.

So ***ch, what exactly does that mean? Are you going to turn yourself in for aiding and abetting Muslim murderers or what? Do you also take responsibility for lying about the YouTube clip? Do you also take responsibility for your disgraceful actions at the Benghazi Senate hearing? ***ch!

I don’t recall Hillary taking responsibility for security during the congressional inquiry, not that the RINOs cared.

The modern ceremony of saying “I take responsibility”.
Silly and meaningless today because the statement is not accompanied by consequences.

How many of those 60,000 plus people were in unfriendly, Muslim countries and begging for more security?

Blow-by-Blow: How Obama & Hillary Left Americans to Die

Nordstrom further testified in writing that Hillary Clinton waived security requirements for the Benghazi consulate despite high and critical threat levels in the six categories of security standards established under the Overseas Security Policy Board and the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999.

The waiver can only be authorized by the Secretary of State, who cannot delegate that responsibility to someone else. ”If the Secretary of State did not waive these requirements, who did so by ordering occupancy of the facilities in Benghazi and Tripoli?” Nordstrom wrote.

“Silly and meaningless”

Indeed.

Just empty words on her part. She would not utter them if she expected to be held responsible in any meaningful way.

Pure rhetoric.

Money wasn't a problem yet Hillary hired a private British contractor for a measly $250k who farmed it out to the Feb. 17th Martyr's Brigade.

Hillary Clinton on State Dept. budget for FY 2012.

FY 2012 Budget Request March 10, 2011

(the following is Hillary speaking)

The second part of our request funds the extraordinary, temporary portion of our war effort the same way the Pentagon’s request is funded: in a separate Overseas Contingency Operations account known as OCO. Instead of covering war expenses through supplemental appropriations, we are now taking a more transparent approach that fully reflects the integrated civilian-military efforts. Our share of the President’s $126 billion request for exceptional wartime costs is $8.7 billion. So all told, we have a $47 billion operational account and an $8.7 billion Overseas Contingency Operations account.

(snip)

But let me just quickly walk you through this, because on this issue of our $8.7 billion Overseas Contingency Operations, we have the strongest support from Secretary Gates, from Admiral Mullen. And next week – I was speaking with General Petraeus last night. He will be here on the Hill strongly supporting the civilian effort that goes hand-in-hand with what he is doing so heroically in Afghanistan. So we are funding vital civilian missions in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq with this $8.7 billion.

“What I want to avoid is some kind of gotcha game.” Killary Clinton

“Let’s not bicker and argue over who killed who. Especially just before the election.”

8 years of Monty Python in the WH.

Yes, that conforms to Mrs. Clinton's, "What difference does it make now?" angry question and attitude. What a jerk.

Three o'clock in the morning call indeed.

Oh don't bother me! Don't you know what time it is?

Clinton: 'I take responsibility' for security ahead of Benghazi attack

THIS LOWER THAN A SNAKE DISGUSTING LIFELONG CRIMINAL STILL PRETENDS SHE CAN'T GRASP THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "TAKING RESPONSIBILITY" FOR A CRIME AND "ACCEPTING THE RIGHTFUL LEGAL CONSEQUENCES!!!"

She knows that she can "take responsibility 'til the cows come home and it don't mean S**T!!!

She can't reach her natural expiration date too soon to suit me... I may try to order some Trump Champagne, if it's available.

actually, I can't recall learning of Hillary ever paying the price (substantial fines, jail time, sanctions, multimillion$ fine, loss of pension) for any crime her entire life!

And in the end, it may not be her corruption that takes her out but her health.

Sort of like it was the Treasury Department rather than the FBI that took out Al Capone..
