I heard her “take responsibility” in the sense of reminding everyone that she is ultimately responsible. I didn’t hear her “take responsibility” in the sense of recognizing that she cost a man his life. I didn’t get the impression she was planning to resign in shame.
So I’m leaning with this writer. She is using judo. She is sucking the wind out of O’s sails.
I have no problem with her reminding everyone that he is a nonentity. He is a nonentity. He is a sock puppet.
The problem is that she really is responsible for what happened in Benghazi. She is responsible for the fact that out of all the diplomatic posts in the world with a marine guard this one had none. She is responsible for the fact that, in place of Blackwater for his bodyguards, he had Libyans with no bullets, at least two of whom were Al Qaeda.
Really, in view of this last, I can’t help but get the queasy feeling that he was set up. But thats just me. I hesitate to say that out loud.
She cost 4 men their lives and she needs to hold herself accountable and step down immediately. If she is/was that incompetent, then it was Obama's fault for not getting her out of there sooner. He didn't have any problem at all firing Emanuel and Daley. Now, once again, let's see what Congress is going to do about this.
