Clinton: 'I take responsibility' for Benghazi
From Elise Labott, reporting from Lima, Peru

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.

2. My God! I wouldn't *never* expected her to be involved with that plot!

Please tell me, at least, that she was acting under some kind of duress.

3. An interview with Hillary Clinton?

a surrogate? Who were they interviewing? A talking head? I see nothing on this on CNN's website, domestically or internationally.

4. My view of Hilary has changed a great deal since she became Secretary of State.

Way To Go Hilary, my hat is off to you. You have been a huge asset to your party and our cause, you have put the liberal cause ahead of your own political hopes, and you have earned my respect and my vote in 2016.
I never would have said that four years ago.
