1. The reporter's opening question talked about the blame game, Biden's defense, and directly asked if Hillary had been thrown under the bus.

1a. Hillary answers the "under the bus comment" directly with her "of course not."

1b. The blame game part is then addressed "I take responsibility."

1c. To the part about Biden's "we didn't know", Hillary says that's the realm of "security professionals.... They’re the ones that weigh all of the threats and the risks and the needs and make a considered decision."

1d. Hillary has just laid this on the back of "security professionals."

2. The next question has to do with the quality of intelligence that was provided.

2a. Hillary says that in chaotic events information is foggy and gets adjusted.

So, in all of this, where does she take responsibility for "the attack?"

As an aside and a different discussion: Has Hillary Clinton just attempted a public emasculation of Barack Obama?

re Hillary's "fog of war" comment.
Was she saying there really is a war going on over there? If so, maybe she needs to explain why our ambassador was left with outsourced security and no Marines.

My take is they need to keep Obama in office for this to really go away, like with F&F. If they can delay and deflect for the next three weeks they can then refuse to cooperate with Congress and the MSM will drop it.

Tonight's debate has everything to do with what's happened with HRC yesterday and Rice today. Obama will deflect any questions. Candy Crowley, according to some sources has already screened the questions and may have decided not to allow Benghazigate tonight (according to Carole Simpson ABC News). If this is true, Romney will have to find an opening in another question to bring the issue up.

Unlike you, evidently, very few in the media actually read or listened to what Hillary’s precise words were .... what she actually said ... or more importantly, what she DIDN’T say.

I think Hillary made life more difficult, not less, for Obama and the campaign/administration.

I have now for 20 years been very much in, uhh, the administration decision making, first with my husband, then after 9/11 working with President Bush, now, of course, in President Obama’s cabinet.
...........................................................

Gee:I never knew Hillary had worked with George Bush after 911. I bet George Bush didn’t know it either.

to be fair ( although why I am being fair to Hitlery I don’t know)
what she is taking responsibility for is the lack of security at the consulate. NOT the reported reasons for the attack

Juat like 0dumbo and ol Joe threw Hitlery under the bus for lack of secuirity she is throwing the intel community under the bus saying they said it was a protest.
ALL of it is BS
I can’t wait until the Intel community responds

If we assume HRC is running for POTUS in 2016, then she is in a trap until after the election.

She does not want to face an incumbent Romney in 2016, so she MUST support Obama’s reelection. Until Benghazi, she had managed to stay below the radar, not really doing anything bad or good. She even avoided overtly supporting Obama’s disastrous policies, staying mostly silent & out of the country.

A Clinton/Obama public disagreement over Benghazi would doom Obama’s reelection, & HRC knows any moron but Obama could turn around the economy & earn another 4 years, making her too old for 2020.

What she is doing, as is Obama, is avoiding the hard questions & stalling this thing for 3 more weeks, after which she can resign as she had previously announced.

I remember when Janet Reno “took responsibility” for something or other. It had no practical implications, as if I took responsibility for World War II.

She "takes responsibility" in name only. "Taking responsibility" means accepting the consequences, and in typical Clinton fashion, she tries to do the former without doing the latter, hoping she gets away with it. I can't honestly say whether or not she gets away with it...Clintons always seem to get away with it....

Resign Hillary. That's how you take responsibility.

From the minute it started the six-hour long attack on the consulate was known about in real time by hundreds of people in listening posts all over the world - including at the White House. There was no fog of war - they had real-time video from the consulate itself.

For six hours the White House and State watched and did nothing. They set up the consulate to fall and for the Ambassador to die - for their own reasons. However the end was delayed for hours by the intervention of two brave SEALs.

These men were the only US military assets who were able to intervene that night. No part of the vast US panoply of war received any orders from their cringing and unworthy CIC - so the SEALs acted without orders. They came over from another part of Benghazi and got over a score of people out. Their bravery cost them their lives.

..As time has gone on, new information has changed, we’ve gotten more detail, but that’s not surprising. That always happens.

'New information has changed'? They do continue to change their new information, don't they. She really means that "We make up the stories to suit the situation we're in. You know that, get used to it. Print it, the rubes will believe it".
I don't think obama can be emasculated, publicly or otherwise. He is already as effete, infantile and weak as any politician I have seen in my lifetime.
