Around and around the Benghazi buck goes, where it stops, nobody knows.
In an interview with Margaret Brennan on CBS, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton refused to say where U.N. ambassador Susan Rice got her talking points in response to the attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya.
—
“Who briefed Ambassador Rice that day? Did you sign off on that briefing and those speaking points?” asked Brennan.
“You would have to ask her,” Clinton replied, admitting that she did not speak to Rice before her media appearances.
The reporter’s question allowed Clinton to steal a base. Rice was far from alone in blaming the YouTube.
Rice went on five Sunday talk shows to blame the YouTube movie, but Clinton’s State Department spent $70,000 on ads in Pakistan to also blame the movie. Who made the decision to produce and pay for those ads?
Sure glad she did that so it is now moot and can’t be raised at tonight’s debate.
Yeah, Whew!, the timing of Hillary taking (or deflecting) the blame is quite the coincidence, ain’t it?
Obama was unprepared but his sin was what he did afterwards. Stupid Republicans fell hook, line, and sinker for Axelrod’s trick.
Bubba’s behind the Hildabeast’s change in strategy. It’s a clue that he senses that the Fraud is going down and he is positioning the beast for 2016.
I’d agree with weo that this is part of a Billary strategy. She knows that taking blame for it happening makes her look like a loyal Democrat, but it does nothing to deflect the cover-up.
It also doesn’t clear Obama’s failure to improve our standing in the Middle East or our war on al-Qaeda. It’s like LBJ talking about the light at the end of the tunnel and suddenly we have the Tet Offensive. Obama said that AQ was as good as gone, then crowds in Eqypt chant “Obama, Obama, we are all Osama” while AQ terrorists storm our consulate in Libya. Talk about a contrast between reality on the ground and what a politician begs you to believe is true.
Surprise.
Hillary Clinton card carrying feminist in the footsteps of her master who despises women except as whatever to his own “ends”, on whose coat-tails she rides to political importance.
She in not however the “Iron Lady” or even Meryl Streep (wasn’t Meryl also mamma to the Manchurian Candidate?). Too needy for her place in the sun even to agreeing to be Secretary of State for BH Obama. Her price for not making waves his assurance to get her Hillary Care into law – by hook or by crook? That plan thrown out in earlier Congresses despite hubby’s “charm” to fulfil HER “dream” she needed only lay down and “play the game”.
Her role as harlot easy in her obsessive hatred of the Yanks. Less effective in the socio-psychopathy without the aid of her “charming” spouse that “pillar” of the political party she and the entire DNC hierarchy front for. But she’s in place and for the moment that must be enough to Hope it’ll get better and she’ll finally get the brass ring.
Hillary and Behghazi. Remember Hillary and Alinsky? Remember Hillary and Watergate? Remember Hillary and Whitewater. Remember Hillary, Vincent Foster and her foray through FBI files to which she had no legal rights. But hey she was “First Lady” and a “democrat” at that.
As we have learned, been taught, via the handmaidens, or is that sheepdogs, of legacy media, entertainment and educational mentors within the past half century anything goes as long as the tag is “democrat” and “liberal”.
Whatever the facts – what the hell are they And who cares? The STORY is what matters. So we have a “democratic” president beyond criticiam because packaged in the toxic plastic designed to sell. Who sells – thrills? – the world (Nobel Peace Prize before he did anything but get elected) with his oratory. Omce elected with his blitzkrieg, with his troops in Congress, through the US Constitution.
Hillary and spouse salesmen for the producers and their products. No returns if not satisfied, or not as advertised. OR actually fundamentally damaging, harmful to the body politic of the buyers.
So we can all rest easy in this best of all possible worlds of late 20th and early 21st centuries America. That product made in America by Americans.
