ITS A FLUID SITUATION.

Is that another way of saying certain people are pissing their pants?  :P

Wouldn't be the first time someone spoke out of their ass before all the facts were in.  It happens.  See: Ashcroft, John.

Granted, not a month before the presidential election.  But there ya go.

And it looks like Hillary's trying to take a bullet for Barry:

QuoteLima, Peru (CNN) -- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday tried to douse a political firestorm around the deadly assault on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya, saying she is responsible for the security of American diplomatic outposts.
"I take responsibility" for the protection of U.S. diplomats, Clinton said during a visit to Peru. But she said an investigation now under way will ultimately determine what happened in the attack that left four Americans dead.

Whelp, SoS is in charge of the diplomatic corps and the BDS, not the POTUS.  That's the way it works.

Yeah, the buck never seems to stop with Obama.  Wonder how quiet you'd be on this whole thing had it happened during the Bush presidency.

Meh, it was an unfortunate situation in an unfortunate environment, and as someone who grew up watching our embassies getting blown to rubble during the Reagan Administration, I'm not particularly fazed about it, nor would I be if it happened during the ZOMG DUBYA presidency.   PARTY PARTISANSHIP ENDS AT THE COASTLINE

Besides, Bush had much bigger foreign policy fuck ups to bitch about.  But go ahead, DerIssa, buy into the White House cover-up.

Everybody wants answers and accountability, there ya go.  Somebody's being accountable.

Now, because it's not the person you want to be accountable, well...

I noticed that none of your post spoke to timing. There's already been plenty of time for Hil to step forwards.

How much timing do you want? People are clamoring for answers and accountability.  Damn, can't make any of you bitches happy.

Well that is very cheap. Did Hillary want to help Obama or hurt him? "I am not the guy in charge, I have no better chance to protect our ambassadors than the guy in charge, but it was MY fault. Yeah"

Why doesn't anybody see that this is Hillary trying to be presidential?

I dunno.  I can kinda see how there might be a connection between the head of the government department that runs embassies and embassies.  Of course it might be Obama's fault for having embassies in the first place, or at least not abolishing them.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
