Deflecting Blame in Benghazi

By Jim Waurishuk

The first thing to remember concerning Benghazi is that it’s all about protecting Hillary Rodham Clinton, her persona, her viability, and electability. Second, on a separate, but equal level, it’s about protecting, deflecting, and keeping the responsibility away from President Obama. As a consequence of failed U.S. foreign policy in Libya, Benghazi also has Obama’s
responsibility, integrity, and competence all over it. As commander-in-chief he ultimately owns our national security and foreign policy, its successes and its failures, as any president does. Obama hired his National Security team and is ultimately responsible for their actions, decisions, conduct, and shortcomings, particularly when it comes to safety, security, and well-being of his employees.

 

Hillary Clinton’s primary responsibility regarding the U.S. State Department was to implement and manage the nation’s foreign policy. Clinton was responsible for everything that happened up until the time of the attack. By her own doing, she created a false narrative to blur her lack of action and responsibility by obfuscating and obstructing the actual cause of the attack, i.e.; the video story.
