Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton committed her second gaffe in as many days on the campaign trail Monday night, claiming that the U.S. "didn't lose a single person" in Libya during her time as secretary of state.

Clinton made the comment defending her push for regime change in the war-torn North African nation at an Illinois town hall hosted by MSNBC.

"Now, is Libya perfect? It isn't," Clinton said. After contrasting her approach toward Libya with the ongoing bloodshed in Syria's civil war, Clinton said "Libya was a different kind of calculation and we didn't lose a single person ... We didn’t have a problem in supporting our European and Arab allies in working with NATO."

Clinton made no mention of the Sept. 11, 2012 terror attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that killed four Americans: U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, information officer Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALS Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.

Uuuuuhhhhh, where was Mrs. Weiner?....

[CAluvdubya]

There are o words that can describe the stupidity that is this woman.

[doldrumsforgop]

My interpretation of what she said is that they were already dead to her by trusting she/Obama would protect them. A self-projection.

Sorta like a woman saying her baby is dead as she planned an abortion anyway.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

In Clinton-speak she means is that no one is “missing”. Since they were able to recover the bodies of the four who died, they are technically not lost.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

We have an historic chance not only to elect the first woman to POTUS, but the first mentally-ill woman and the first overt spy. We let this opportunity pass untaken at our own peril!

[tgusa]

Bingo! We have a winner, no more calls....

“Depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is...”

[tgusa]

Delirium tremens.

[Toespi]

Senility? No way, she is reinventing history for her sheep. Repeat after me, “there was no Benghazi, there was no Benghazi, there was no Benghazi”

[VOR78]

What difference does it make?

[catfish1957]

In Clinton-speak she means is that no one is “missing”. Since they were able to recover the bodies of the four who died, they are technically not lost.

Or in Clintsonspeak, we didn't lose a single person, we lost 4.

[N. Theknow]

Ambassador Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods could not be reached for comment.

[PAR35]

Sounds like she is saying that homosexuals are not people. (Didn’t the deceased ambassador have that preference?)

[central_va]

Libya was a different kind of calculation and we didn't lose a single person

That is syntactically correct.

[hattend]

It wasn’t a gaffe, it was a lie.

Clinton commits Benghazi gaffe, saying US 'didn't lose a single person' in Libya

Gaffe?

But she is ABSOLUTLEY RIGHT!!!!

We lost MORE than one!!

[Elsie]

THEM!

[Paine in the Neck]

It must not be forgotten that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama left, not four, but some forty Americans to die in Benghazi. It was only through the heroism of Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, acting in contradiction of direct orders to stand down and at the cost of their own lives, that most of those forty returned home alive. Again, let it be reiterated that Obama and Clinton were comfortable condemning forty Americans to ugly death at the hands of radical Muslims and to lie about it afterwards rather than admit to what was going on in Benghazi or to their own failures. As Hugh Hewitt wrote,

“...the cries for help from the brave civilians and soldiers of Benghazi were many and urgent throughout the hours of attack. But the response was ... silence. ”

The others Bernie would most likely not want to go there, and will treat her with kid gloves.

[mikey_hates_everything]

Hillary-spun definition of “lose” coming in 3, 2, 1...

I shudda read ahead!
