Clinton: Benghazi security was ‘not my ball to carry’
The Hill ^ | July 24, 2016 | Jessie Hellmann

"So when this happened in Benghazi, I immediately stood up an independent committee -- distinguished Americans, military and civilian experts. They came out and they said, "You know, the ball was dropped -- in security. And, you know, some of the decisions that were made, probably should have been rethought."

Clinton went on to say concerns about security at the American Diplomatic Compound in Benghazi never reached her.

“It was not my ball to carry. … Those [security reports] never reached me. Those never came to my attention,” she said.

Her excuse is that she created a culture of diversion sufficient to keep her out of the loop of significant and substantial issues in the department she headed.

She is a sociopath AND a pathological liar, she really is. If she wasn’t a politician she would be a serial killer. Al Gore is another sociopath. These are people who have no concept of emotions so they imitate emotions. They are emotionless shells and literally feel the same about a human being dying as an insect dying.

YOU, Madam, were Secretary of State, YOU were in charge. It WAS your 'ball to carry', and you failed to carry it, leaving people DEAD. Perhaps you'll have BETTER luck carrying the 'next' ball, you know, the one with the chain affixed to it!

"I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!

My wife looks at Bill Clinton as a natural sociaopath, where Hillary works at it. She also says that when Hillary read the book on how to be a sociopath, she skipped the chapter on charm.

Here’s what real President would have done.

We’re sending in 2 F-16’s to deal with it. And 8 more to deal with any Syrian forces who get in our way.

Why doesn't she cut to the chase and just stand up and say "I am neither qualified-to nor capable-of handling the tasks of President" ???

Of course it was her responsibility. Oh, wait, sorry lib-lurkers out there. I realize I may have just "triggered" you with the "r" word. But you know what, in the real world someone is actually responsible for actions and decisions. It's called leadership. Part of leadership is accepting, acknowledging, learning from, and taking responsibility for your mistakes. Although I don't think Benghazi was a mistake, I think it was the fruition of very intentional plans.

Her attempting to skate out from under the issue shows a lack of courage, a lack of integrity, and at best an acknowledgement of ineptitude of breathtaking scope.

It’s either a vast right wing conspiracy or the fog of war but it’s definitely not her fault.
