Hillary Clinton said the security at the American compound in Benghazi, Libya, was “not her ball to carry” and admonished Republicans for politicizing the 2012 attack that left four Americans dead.

In her first joint interview with running mate Tim Kaine on "60 Minutes" Sunday, Clinton said while she took responsibility for the attacks because she was secretary of State when it happened, none of the nine separate investigations found her culpable.

"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

If the GOP is unable to unite in order to defeat this ... woman then God help us all. Hillary Clinton as president is THE WORST possible outcome of this election. Those who believe otherwise (that's you Bill Kristol and others) can't see the forest for the trees.

It may not be your call to carry, but it’s certainly your lie to tell.

“Ring... Ring... Ring...

It's 3 a.m., and your children are safe and asleep.

But there's a phone in the White House...

and it's ringing.

Something is happening in the world.

Your vote will decide who answers that call.

Ring... Ring... Ring...

It's 3 a.m., and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?”

What a pantload.

She was the SECRETARY OF STATE.
The SoS is responsible for EVERYTHING that happens in the STATE DEPARTMENT, like a Captain of a ship.

Anything bad happens aboard that ship, the Captain is culpable.

Gosh whose ball was it? I know, some clerk in the Department of Agriculture.

[Rurudyne]

Here’s hoping she’s “Sir No Appearing” for the next few years.

[angryoldfatman]

Bush’s fault.

It’s getting worse and worse for Hillary, aka. (insert appropriate pejorative here—possibly pun intended!)....

“I was in charge but I am not responsible. Please trust me to step up to President.”

[Twinkie]

“The buck stops SOMEWHERE; but NOT with Hillary!”

[N. Theknow]

What about dropping the ball on sending help?

Where the Hell were you and what were you doing...for 13 fricking hours!?!?!?

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

“That’s above my pay-grade”, right Barack?

[FlingWingFlyer]

She’s an idiot. When you see a fumble, you’re supposed to pick it up! What a moron.

[upchuck]

Her name is Killary for a reason.

[RummyChick]

Exactly , with precision, whose job was it. She should answer that question so that person can feel the tire tracks of the bus

[petitfour]

That was the case at the time she repeated the video did it lie over and over and over including to the families of the four murdered Americans.

[mylife]

My God, she is an ass, we had assets in Sigonella 30 mins away

Where was Obama? why were they playing footsie in Rota for 13 hours?

Damned liars with blood all over them
