In her opening statement, Clinton again said that she took &#8220;responsibility&#8221; without defining what that means. &#8220;Nobody is more committed to getting this right. I am determined to leave the State  Department and our country safer, stronger, and more secure,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Taking responsibility meant moving quickly in those first uncertain hours and days  to respond to the immediate crisis and further protect our people and posts in highthreat areas across the region and the world. It meant launching an independent investigation to determine exactly what happened in Benghazi and to recommend steps for improvement. And it meant intensifying our efforts to combat terrorism and support emerging democracies in North Africa and beyond.&#8221;]]>Wed, 23 Jan 2013 06:52:05 -0500<![CDATA[Bryan Preston]]>https://pjmedia.com/bryan-preston-1/2013/01/23/secretary-of-state-clintons-stunningly-incomplete-opening-statement-on-the-benghazi-attack-n176167
