Clinton: 'I take responsibility' for Benghazi

October 15th, 2012

07:47 PM ET

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the bucks stops with her when it comes to who is blame for a deadly assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi.

"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.

Clinton insisted President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are not involved in security decisions, Clinton said.

"I want to avoid some kind of political gotcha," she added, noting that it is close to the election.

It's a shame that she has to do this though imo. Leave up to the Repugs to cry wolf and seek individual blame for political purposes when they drag whole countries into war based on myth

I know full well that if McCain were currently President, the Republican drones would have said "You know who is at full fault for this attack? Bill Clinton"...
