Geee Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Front Page Magazine: In an interview Monday with CNN, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton identified herself as the person to blame for the U.S.’s failure to prevent the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack that took the life Ambassador Chris Stevens and that of three other Americans at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Clinton took care to shield the White House from the scandal, saying that diplomatic security was the exclusive role of the State Department. Coming on the eve of the second presidential debate, the admission follows a barrage of high-level administration surrogates shifting blame to the State Department, and Clinton no doubt felt tremendous pressure to concede in order to remove an important cudgel at Mitt Romney’s disposal. But while Clinton may very well bear much responsibility for the tragedy, the ultimate culprit is the Obama administration policy of voluntary weak positioning abroad, which the President’s State Department was executing in Benghazi. This is why the administration engaged in such a clear cover-up following the attack, along with the President’s need to maintain the facade that he has brought the threat of Islamic terrorism under control. The tide had turned for Clinton after the vice presidential debate last Thursday when Vice President Joe Biden put the Benghazi problem squarely in Hillary’s lap. Biden claimed that he and the president “weren’t told they wanted more security there.” On Friday, White House spokesman Jay Carney doubled down. ”These kinds of issues are handled in the State Department by security officials,” he said. Over the weekend the State Department blame game was in full swing. David Axelrod, Obama’s chief re-election campaign strategist, “explained” Biden’s debate assertion to “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace. “The White House was talking about what the White House knew,” Axelrod said. “There are embassies all over the world and requests all over the world and these requests go over the the security professionals at the State Department. And there’s no doubt that some of these matters went into the security department of the State Department. But it didn’t come to the White House, and that’s what the vice president was responding to,” he added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logicnreason Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 The old witch threw herself under that bus..... Granted...after long discussions with the stain and his henchmen. Lest we forget....this is the very same murderer who planned and ordered the execution of Vince Foster....then arranged for it to be covered up. She and the regime have had almost a month to destroy or "convert" any evidence of WH culpability. Story is pretty much over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casino67 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I think that maybe she and Bill were negotiating with Obama on how to handle. Must have been a quid pro quo. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
