Clinton commits Benghazi gaffe, saying US 'didn't lose a single person' in Libya
Fox News.com ^ | March 15, 2016

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.

"I question her sanity."

Hillary's sanity disappeared long, long ago along with every bit of honesty, humanity, and patriotism.

“”If Trump is the nominee, I can see this on a continuous loop playing over scenes of the consulate burning, and the coffins of 4 Americans coming home. Then throw in the “what difference does it make” video.””

“”I hope we make about 50 campaign ads with that quote on them.””

She provides so much great ad material to use against her.

Senility setting in?

When your whole world is built on lying - even lying about lying - it's hard to keep the lies straight!

What we have to remind folks is:

We had 42 people in Benghazi.

They were ALL under attack for 13 hours.

Our government sent no military aid to them that entire time. People in command who attempted to do so, were replaced on the spot (Gen. Ham).

So, the conclusion is that our government was actually willing to sacrifice 42 Americans that night.

The question is: WHY?

When she says we didn't lose a single person, she meant any staffers of the Clinton Foundation.

It also depends on what the definition of "Lose" is? Just because you came home in a box doesn't mean you were lost, quite the contrary I suppose?

The first gaffe? Amazing! “candidate which” - bad grammar on top of everything else, Hillary. Notice Fallon’s statement at the end - who on earth suggested putting coal companies out of business other than the WITCH?

“I’m the only candidate which has a policy about how to bring economic opportunity using clean renewable energy as the key into coal country,” Clinton said, “because we’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.”

With many workers in crucial primary states like Ohio and Illinois relying on such jobs, Clinton’s campaign put out a statement stressing that, “Coal will remain a part of the energy mix for years to come” and Clinton’s plan would also safeguard workers’ retirement and health benefits.

Spokesman Brian Fallon said “no candidate in this race is more devoted to supporting coal communities than Hillary Clinton” and “any suggestions otherwise are false.”

Why on earth wasn’t there a follow up question from anyone on her statement? Because all the questions are preprogrammed or she was talking to democrats and they aren’t aware of what happened in Benghazi?

Yes. Reminds me of John McCain’s confused mind in 2008.
