In Hillary Clinton’s new book, Hard Choices, she basically outlines how she has no responsibility in the Benghazi attacks. Instead, centering herself as the victim.
“Those who exploit this tragedy over and over as a political tool minimize the sacrifice of those who served our country,” one part of her book reads.
It’s not about the victims to Hillary, it’s about how wronged she is.
Hillary Clinton may not be much at administering the State Department, but she’s certainly a pro when it comes toexpressing outrage at her own persecution. For the woman who is supposedly the world’s most powerful feminist, her sense of victimhood remains surprisingly strong. That’s never been more true than in her new book, Hard Choices, which points out that she – not the four men who died in Benghazi, Libya, on the night of September 11, 2012 – is the victim.
The Clinton camp reportedly leaked the 34-page Benghazi chapter of Hillary’s latest tome to favored outlet Politico. The portions quoted by Politico demonstrate an offputting self-pity and a false righteous indignation utterly at odds with Clinton’s actions as Secretary of State.
According to Politico, Clinton writes, “Those who exploit this tragedy over and over as a political tool minimize the sacrifice of those who served our country.” Of course, the sacrifice of those who served our country wouldn’t have been necessary if Clinton had done her basic duty in protecting diplomatic facilities overseas. And when it comes to politicizing Benghazi, it was the Obama administration that repeatedly lied for weeks to the American people about the source of the attacks to continue portraying President Obama as tough on terror during election season.
Hillary goes on to attack anyone who asks questions about her behavior during Benghazi, writing, “I will not be a part of a political slugfest on the backs of dead Americans. It’s just plain wrong, and it’s unworthy of our great country. Those who insist on politicizing the tragedy will have to do so without me.” Except, of course, for the “political slugfest” in which she engages by ripping the motives of her opponents.
Hillary does pretend to take responsibility for Benghazi, but blames it on the heartbreaking human stakes of every decision we make.” She then says she did everything she could by waiting a week-and-a-half to begin an investigation from an Accountability Review Board led by handpicked allies, who promptly exonerated her and refused to even interview her. And she dismisses congressional oversight as politically motivated: “Many of these same people are a broken record about unanswered questions.”
Questions that Hillary does not answer, of course. Questions like: Where were you? Why did you reject security? Why do you continue to insist that a YouTube video was to blame for the terrorist attacks?
Hillary has reportedly hired former National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor to spin Benghazi. This is the same man who explained on national television that he didn’t know how talking points on Benghazi were manipulated, since “dude, this was like two years ago.” His dismissive tone is perfect for Hillary’s upcoming 2016 campaign, given her own dismissal of the State Department spin after the Benghazi attacks: “What difference, at this point, does it make?”
And indeed, it makes no difference what Hillary writes. Her indignation is a substitute for her lack of record. Emotion substitutes for decency. “As Secretary I was the one ultimately responsible for my people’s safety, and I never felt that responsibility more deeply than I did that day,” Hillary writes. But of course, that’s a lie. She never felt responsibility – which is why she sees herself as the real victim of Benghazi.
SHE IS SUCH A LIAR. PRISON IS TOO GOOD FOR HER
How can she say she’s a victim? Even if she wasn’t in the “situation room” and didn’t give the “stand down order”, she was in charge when the request for additional security were denied. This appears to be another “I didn’t know a thing about it” excuse. The buck doesn’t stop at the top in this administration, does it? No one ever knows anything.
You are a corrupt liar. It’s not a political tool, four Americans were unmercifully tortured and dragged through the streets naked only to die. You did not do a damn thing to help them, so don’t call that a political tool. You are a joke.
Richard Skaggs, you are so right!!!
SELF CENTERED
No you are not the victim. The four dead Americans are.
Again, what good do articles like this do when all we get are thousands of people sharing it on FB and other social media but never really doing anything about it but whining and getting themselves worked up – Who voted these people into office in the first place ? That’s the real problem we have in this country, all the talk of Impeachment and criminal wrong doing and illegal treasonous acts by the Obama Regime mean absolutely nothing if the Other Politicians in Washington just keep promising and pretending that they are going to do something about it and never do …. it’s all smoke and mirrors… Republicans and Democrats alike are to blame for the situation we are in – wake up ! All you people are doing is falling for bull$#%&!@* from both sides – Term Limits would help but that’s never going to occur …. it’s like asking the Police to Police the Police and be honest and impartial about the findings…. just never going to happen.
And you should be sent to Bengazhi! After all what difference does it make!? Pack yo bags! Take your boi Ovomit with you.
she would not know the truth if it bit her. maybe this one will do it. i guess we found out we don’t want either her or obama answering the phone.
if u don’t like it,throw the person at fault under the bus,and explain u were just following orders.
