Hillary Clinton takes responsibility for Benghazi, Libya attacks, 'The Buck Stops Here'

	Hillary Clinton takes responsibility for Benghazi, Libya attacks, 'The Buck Stops Here' Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the buck stops with her when it comes to who is to blame for security ahead of a deadly assault on the US diplomatic mission in Benghazi,Libya. "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 US television networks Monday night, was the first she has given about the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi. Clinton insisted President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are not involved in security decisions. "I want to avoid some kind of political gotcha," she added, noting that it is close to the election. The attack killed Chris Stevens, the US ambassador to Libya, and three other Americans at the consulate. In the wake of an attack, there is always "confusion," Clinton said. But the information has since changed, Clinton said in the interview. The secretary of state also described the desperate scene in the State Department during the hours of the attack on the night of September 10. It was an "intense, long ordeal" as staff tried to find out what had happened. Clinton said her mission now is to make sure such an attack will never happen again -- but also that diplomacy, even in dangerous areas like Benghazi, is not stopped. "We can't not engage," she said. "We cannot retreat."	From: wiseuppeopletv Views: 9 0 ratings
