Clinton: 'I take responsibility' for security ahead of Benghazi attack
CNN ^ | October 15, 2012 | Elise Labott

Posted on 10/15/2012 5:01:35 PM PDT by maggief

EXCERPT

"I take responsibility" for what happened on September 11, Clinton said in an interview with CNN's Elise Labott soon after arriving in Lima, Peru for a visit. The interview, one of a series given to U.S. television networks Monday night, were the first she has given about the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

Clinton insisted President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are not involved in security decisions, Clinton said.

"I want to avoid some kind of political gotcha," she added, noting that it is close to the election.

Bettina Viviano says that when killing Bill’s good friend Bill Gwatney and Rep Stephanie Tubbs in turn (right after they each agreed to present a petition challenging Obama’s eligibility at the 2008 Dem Convention0 didn’t work to stop the Clintons, the Obama handlers threatened to kill Chelsea, and that worked.

We know the on-air reporters and talk show hosts on at least 3 cable news networks and at least 2 radio syndicates were told that if they or their guests mentioned Obama’s eligibility problems their career would be over and the lives of they and their loved ones were in doubt.

Those who say that so many people would not be able to remain quiet about something this big have not absorbed the things that some of us here have been on the front lines observing for the past 4 years. The HI state registrar confirmed to AZ SOS Ken Bennett that Obama’s HI birth certificate is legally non-valid and the online image is a forgery (which was also confirmed to KS SOS Kris Kobach) - and we can’t find anybody who will report anything except the exact opposite.

I put nothing past Obama’s handlers. They are liars. They are killers. They are evil. George Soros has openly said that he doesn’t want the US to win the “war on terror” because then the US and capitalism will be strong, and he believes that he has to rid the world of those 2 great evils (America and capitalism) since he is GOD. And we thought Ahmadinejad was crazy - and that deterrence is futile when you’re dealing with somebody that crazy. Ahmadinejad’s got nothing on Soros - they are both evil men who believe they are either Allah’s servant or GOD HIMSELF.

And our system is totally compromised. I could talk far longer than anybody here has the stamina to listen, about just how badly our system is compromised. The people in positions of responsibility and power are lawless and they answer only to lawless thugs.

Breitbart had courage. Breitbart called Joe Arpaio to find out what evidence Joe had concerning Obama’s posted birth certificate and told Joe that the evidence was good. Less than 5 hours later Breitbart was dead, and the autopsy performed never even CHECKED for signs of covert assassination. The same day - the day of Arpaio’s first press conference - Rush Limbaugh received what he understood as a death threat, with reference to 2 famous assassinations.

We’re talking Al Capone here, except that the Soros-Obama machine has the full power of government, military, the intelligence agencies and operatives, and the media in its hands. And it has united the world forces of communism and Islamism in a battle against America and capitalism.

” Still doesn’t explain:

Why did Obama blame a youtube video for the attack?”

To cover up the fact that nobody was watching the store, and innocent people died ON HIS WATCH. Obama is so cocky, he thought he could get away with anything, and there is more here than incompetence, believe that!

If Obama wins, he will exonerate her after the election. He will say, “Hillary Clinton is a great Sec.State, but she is not responsible for what happened in Benghazi...I am. She was a good soldier for State and Democrats, but, I, and I alone, am responsible for what happened in Benghazi. An investigation is underway. I will speak to this when the investigation is completed, and not a minute before. Thank you.”

Kind of a backhanded insult if you ask me. Covers them, but makes them look weak and out of touch on national security.

The security failing is NOT the issue. The issue is the attempted COVER UP.

"I want to avoid some kind of political gotcha," she added, noting that it is close to the election.

Democrats have always been such sticklers for decorum.

House Speaker Thomas Foley and Senate Democratic leader George Mitchell said during election 1992 about the Reagan "October surprise" of 1980 there are "persistent and disturbing" reports.

"We have no conclusive evidence of wrongdoing, but the seriousness of these allegations, and the weight of circumstantial information, compel an effort to establish the facts."

There is no evidence that is why we must investigate.

Believe me, there are very smart people already deconstructing this little bit of BS from the old Hill.
It won't be standing solid by tomorrow.

Im thinking that Obama promised a scorched earth campaign, if Hilary didn’t take the fall.

She was already victim to that campaign. It was called the 2008 Democratic Primary.

She’ll probably get an easy ambassadorship to some European country for having taken the fall.

She's quitting the administration after January 19, 2013 regardless of who wins, she isn't going to be ambassador of anything. She'll pick a high profile private job that keeps her somewhat in the spotlight but out of politics.

Her political career is now basically finished.

Absolute nonsense. Her husband was impeached, made a laughingstock in front of the whole country and disbarred. But, if the Constitution permitted it, he could be President in January. In four years no one outside of the conservative movement is going to remember this.

It was probably done to save keep some uncomfortable questions being asked during the third debate.

No doubt. But it doesn't change the fact that the administration continued to cover it up. And that part of the scandal isn't going to go away just because Hillary has taken a gratuitous hit to her reputation that will promptly go away.

Reminds me of another unanswered question:

Who hired Craig Livingstone?

Romney to Obama: “ You claim there is a war on women. Why are you hiding behind Ms. Clinton’s skirt ? Is it because nobody believed your lie about the movie? The movie that nobody saw until you brought it up? “

Oh I wish he would say this!

Who takes responsibility for what happened on September 12?
