Just in time to provide her boss some political cover in tonight's debate, Hillary Clinton now says that it was her responsibility to provide the necessary security to the Benghazi consulate ... kinda. Although she says that the buck stops with her, she does water down this noble gesture by saying it was her security people who actually made the decision not to respond to the request for more security ... that led to the terrorist attack and murder of our Libyan Ambassador and three other Americans there on September 11th. See:
Michelle Malkin Story ... particularly her hypertext link:
delegated the blame.
This seeming noble act on Hillary's part tells me three things:
1) Despite her protestations to the contrary, Hillary Clinton still does have political ambitions regarding who will be the Democrat candidate for the Presidency in 2016. (But, I would expect, between now and then, she will get a better hairdresser.)
2) She has some doubts as to whether her boss, Barack Obama, will prevail in the current election. Otherwise Joe Biden would be the natural (if silly) choice to head the Democrat ticket then.
3) That master politician, Bill Clinton, is probably behind this posturing on Hillary's part. This likely is because he seems to be obsessed with getting back into the White House ... even as the second fiddle. Perhaps he had left some good cigars hidden in the Oval office?
