Hillary Clinton: Benghazi ‘biggest’ regret

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton remained vague on her 2016 ambitions Monday, but said her biggest regret while leading the department was the 2012 attacks in Benghazi.

“You make these choices based on imperfect information and you make them to — as we say — the best of your ability. But that doesn’t mean that there’s not going to be unforeseen consequences, unpredictable twists and turns,” Clinton said Monday during the National Automobile Dealers Association conference in New Orleans, according to video from CNN.

As always with a liberal, it’s about her.

She left the gate open and the cows got out. There is no spinning around that.

Not a regret. An out and out lie on how she and the 0bama regime handled it both in the UN and the US.

She did this interview so she can say later she already addressed it and can’t we move on? It is right out of the clintoon’s playbook.

So she regrets declining requests for added security, and then watching and hearing their requests for troops when under attack, then telling the military to do something else and let alqaedA overrun the station for hour and hours.

Isn’t that special...

It doesn’t matter WHERE she was speaking. It’s all part of the money laundering and bribery outfit that is Washington.

>>“You make these choices based on imperfect information...>>

She knew within one hour of the start of the attack that it was Al Qaeda associated terrorists. While the attack was still going on, She and or Obama failed to use military resources that were available.

She and Obama lied and our people died.

We had F16s available at Aviano Air Force Base in Italy. The F16 has a combat radius of slightly over 800 nautical miles. Which means it can fly for 1600 miles before it is out of fuel. Bengazhi is 891 nautical miles from Aviano. This means that they could have been on target about an hour and a half after launch using a best range speed of about 550 knots.

An F16 could have flown from Aviano to Bengazhi and delivered ordinance on target. It would not have enough fuel to get back to Aviano but could easily made it back to Southern Italy or Sicily. The attacks lasted about 7 hours. An immediate response would not have saved our ambassador, but it would have saved those two Seals that rescued the individuals in the consulate and brought them back to the CIA annex.

Consider this scenario:

1. Within one hour our government i.e. Hillary, Obama, and the secretary of defense knew it was an Al Queda associated attack on our consulate, this is fact not supposition.

2. The President ordered support from Aviano.

3. One hour to arm and launch the F16s.

3.One and a half hours to get to target.

4.Ordinance delivered to target 3-1/2 hours from the beginning of the attack.

4. The attacks lasted 7 hours.

One must ask why they did not make the order for a cross border attack to save our guys? What the hell really happened in Washington DC that night?
