I think Hillary is one very savvy politician. She took the blame, fell on the sword so to speak...or did she? She used a very calculated phrase-"The buck stops here". Knowing full well that the buck stops with the President. A point she made during the primary against Obama in 2008. She knew that using that phrase would of course invoke commentary on all sides, and remind everyone that Obama had NOT taken responsibility. He eventually did, of course...forced to use the very same phrase in his statement the following day. Bottom line..she came out looking better of the two.
Of course, 'looking better' is relative here. The State Dept and the White House look incompetent at best. Cover-up? Let's call it a concentrated attempt to pull the conversation away from 'terrorist activity' so as not to interfere with the campaign gloats of 'Al qaeda on the run'.
Go back and look at your highligted text - Obama never used the words "terrorist attack". He refers to an "attack". Charlene Lamb did the same thing at the hearing and was asked why she didn't refer to the attack for what it was - a terrorist attack. She continued to refer to it as an "attack".
They are strongly trying to avoid the word terrorist. I guess that's because we are winning the war on terrorism and it must have been a bunch of ragtag homeless people who "attacked" the consulate, not terrorists.
Oh you better believe it, this lying administration and all in it, all of them. Every last lying one of them. Covering their own butt's.
They are so obviously trying to avoid the word terrorist, that is quite obvious from day one. They think Americans are dumb, and naive, hint, most of us are not.
Your right, they refuse to use the word terrorist, it was attack, for their own purpose.
All in this administration and this President, are still responsible for the death of 4 innocent americans, who died such a senseless meaningless fearful, death, that did not have to happen. When in June of 2012 letters to the W.H. of wanting and needing more security was denied, infact the orders were to give them less.
Yep i watched that 3 hour special on this whole fiasco. Steven's from June of 0/12 knew something was not right in the area, and over and over again, his letters ignored, and less security was given.
The person who sits in the Big W.H. is who! and he should know what the hell is going on with security, and who is asking for it, and who is denying it.
Oh and by the way, the role of a moderator, is exactly that, to moderate and nothing more. Not critique, not interupt every friggin 5 seconds, but to moderate.
And guess some people don't know the meaning of moderate.
I DON'T CARE what he said the following day at all.
Obama, Jay Carney, UN Ambassador Rice, and Hillary ALL stated AFTER that, for nearly two weeks, that it was due to a protest over a film that got out of control.
And the most troubling aspect of the serial lies is the implication that the film was the evil act in all of this and thus they felt it necessary to repeatedly make clear that the United States had nothing to do with it. The implication that of course a film such as this is going to provoke violence and general havoc against non-Muslims. The implication of a clear restraint on free speech so as not to provoke Muslims.
If we are to have any hope whatsoever of freedom in our future, we are going to have to take on this issue directly and do whatever it takes to prevail. Obama's diametrically opposite approach is the biggest problem I have with him....among many.
Next debate is foreign policy. Obama has a lot to answer for, especially for Libya. Romney is going to get a chance to bring up things he did not last night.
And Romney needs to get 0bama to answer why he, the president who went to war in Libya in 2011, did not bother to inform himself about the security situation for his diplomats in Libya in 2012. why did the president go on dozens on entertainment shows and never talked to ambassador Stevens' even once over the past six months?
