Nik sends us a link to CNN<\/a> which reports that Clinton fell on her sword in an interview with CNN in regards to the blame for the lack of security at the Benghazi consulate on September 11th;<\/p>\n

“I take responsibility” for what happened on September 11, Clinton said in an interview with CNN’s Elise Labott soon after arriving in Lima, Peru for a visit. The interview, one of a series given to U.S. television networks Monday night, were the first she has given about the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.<\/p>\n

Clinton insisted President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are not involved in security decisions, Clinton said.<\/p>\n

“I want to avoid some kind of political gotcha,” she added, noting that it is close to the election.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, we knew that. I’m pretty sure that the president and vice president don’t pour sweat out over staffing considerations at every single consulate in the world. But the president does appoint the people who do make those decisions. It appears to me that a lot of people in the Obama Administration take a fall for their decisions. I seem to recall some presidents who took the blame as well as the credit for their administration has done right or wrong.<\/p>\n

Of course, this president’s first staffing consideration was Joe Biden as if that shouldn’t have been a warning for the rest of us of the type of people he considered worthy of doing the people’s business. I could go on from Bite-Me, but I won’t.<\/p>\n

Clinton also sought to downplay the criticism that administration officials continued to say the attack was a spontaneous product of a protest over an anti-Muslim film, a theory that has since been discarded.<\/p>\n

In the wake of an attack, there is always “confusion,” Clinton said. But the information has since changed, Clinton said in the interview.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, well, most of us could read news reports and look at the calender and be able to tell that it wasn’t a spontaneous protest. Don’t they have TVs and calenders at the State Department?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
