Hillary Clinton: "I Take Responsibility" For Benghazi (But It Was An Underlng's Fault)
Ace of Spades HQ ^

Posted on 10/15/2012 6:38:31 PM PDT by Perdogg

But of course she blames it on lower-level advisers.

She says "I am responsible" for the security of State's 60,000 workers, but then says she's not responsible at all:

"The decision about security aspects are made by security professionals."

Source: Wendell Goler on FoxNews, about 40 minutes ago. The quote was printed on screen.

I'm responsible, but then again, I'm not; the buck stops with me, but not really, it was this low-level political appointee scapegoat who's going to claim he "shielded" me from these demands for additional security on his own authority.

But don't blame the President. See, I've taken responsibility.

I was responsible for the low-level scapegoat whose fault this really is.

Okay, Ms. Clinton: What are the names of these "security professionals" you say made this decision? Forgive my suspicions, but I'd like to ask them for their side of the story.

It was Obama who elected to use the video as the excuse for the attacks, and Obama personally chose to continue the lie for weeks after knowing the truth.

So, Obamao throws her under the bus and not only does she not put up a fight, she willingly dives, head first, under the dual rear wheels. I’m sure she is burning mad for having to take a bullet for party loyalty.

So, did Hillary take a bullet before or after she was thrown under (or dived under) the bus?

Obama is losing women in droves. This is a setup. When the topic coombes up Obama will act presidential and take responsibility.
Somewhere I think there is a video of Fonzarelli apologizing. But the words just can’t come out of his mouth.
Barak Obama apologize? Sure - “I’m sorry that Bush is a jerk,” maybe.

Does she also take responsibility for Obama lying about it?

DO NOT put any faith in the Hillary people or “Pumas”. We learned that last time. Know what? We don’t need ‘em. This just adds to the lies and incompetence.

She wants us to believe “security professionals” recommended no security?

What happened to the lack of money they briefly claimed? Oh, right, that was recently proved to be a lie.

Congress should demand her resignation since she was “responsible”. Maybe then she'll sing?

There has been no ‘alert’ mentioned from prince Obama, or Hillary. Why is it said they are missing? Obama gave them to his rebel army, they no longer belong to US.

So who is Hillary responsible to? That would be Barry. Well Barry, if Hillary got the ambassador killed, are you going to fire her?

Hillary isn’t a chick; nor has she stood up for anything, rather there was a big BUT attached.

With Hillary it goes without saying that a big butt is attached.

“This is a setup. When the topic coombes up Obama will act presidential and take responsibility.”

You have this October surprise sussed out perfectly.

Obama will accept full responsibility for this Benghazi debacle. women, who have rethought their support for this administration after Biden’s hectoring of Ryan, will then return to the Obama fold, as they think i wish my hubby would step up and admit his mistakes just as readily as Obama is doing here.

The MSM will swoon at his willingness to accept responsibility, and all will be forgiven and forgotten.

A perfect checkmate.

Who is responsible for the "video" hoax?
Who is responsible for ignoring the real-time feed coming from the burning consulate?

There are multiple layers in this scandal, and one of them is the repeated "blame it on the video" meme put forward by Obama himself. That provocative rhetoric was responsible for a lot of unrest in the Middle East.
Return your Peace Prize, Obama!

Yes he did as late as two weeks after the attack.

U.S. President Speaks to U.N. About YouTube Video
14 days after Sept. 11th!

As far as I can tell Hillbilly was the first to tell that hoax though.

That provocative rhetoric was responsible for a lot of unrest in the Middle East.

I think that was the purpose of it.

------------------------------------------------

Pakistanis didn't know about any "video" or any "insults" until 0blablah and Hillbilly broadcast this...

Obama and Hillary Apologize for Free Speech on Pakistani TV (taxpayer-funded ads) Sept. 20, 2012

Which immediately resulted in this...

Pakistan: 17 killed in anti-Islam film protests Sept. 21, 2012

0bama then went to the UN and re-inflamed the Muslim world once again over the manufactured offense "Innocence of Muslims."

Those apologies validated their anger.

It's going to be a landslide for Romney. Obama is toast. The MSM is making it look close so they keep people watching. Even on FOX.

Romney won because Obama scored no big punches. Zero.

The fat lady is singing.
