Now It Makes a Difference: Clinton Says Benghazi “Biggest Regret”
“You know, my biggest, you know, regret is what happened in Benghazi. It was a terrible tragedy, losing four Americans, two diplomats and now it’s public, so I can say two CIA operatives, losing an ambassador like Chris Stevens, who was one of our very best and had served in Libya and across the Middle East and spoke Arabic,” Clinton said.
Wouldn’t it be more accurate to say she regrets her idiotic response to the events? To take her at her word she most regrets a video someone made? Or, maybe her “free speech” apology tour? Or, is she now acknowledging that she was responsible? Did she ever provide answers to the loved ones, like she promised?

The problem is with her framing of “regret.” One regrets something that they did, not something that happened supposedly unconnected to their involvement. We all regret things from your youth where we could have benefitted from the wisdom we’ve gained since. But, I don’t regret Benghazi because I didn’t cause it. I feel sympathy and anger on behalf of those families who lost loved ones in a preventable and tragic terrorist attack that Hilary allowed to happen out of agenda driven politics. Her regret is a non-apology and attempt to deflect culpability – word smithing common to her liberal breed.
ROGER THAT
ABSOLUTELY!
Now it’s public!
No it is not
Politicians never regret events. They regret not taking full advantage of the events. And yes, that is what she means.
Lying during a job interview is nothing new.
Somewhere, buried within the vile demons that govern her thoughts and actions is the tiny voice that once believed in right vs wrong. Perhaps the regret comes from taking the path of a despicable twelve headed demon and telling special forces to stand down while Chris was begging for help. There’s a reason she did this, and it wouldn’t have changed anything but the life/death outcome for 4 people. So, what was the reason? It’s likely much worse than anyone imagines.

I wish I could believe that.
I firmly believe there are people that NEVER heard that tiny voice.
I think everyone hears it. Some, like Hillary, have learned how to ignore it.
You’re talking about Hillary Rodham, the same ‘lawyer’ that got on the wrong side of Congress working for the Watergate Committee. If she ever paid attention to her conscience, that would have only been in her childhood. Once she took the Dark path (leftism), it has dominated her destiny. Sure, she’s had power. What good has she done with it?
I’ll believe she means it only after she sits down with the parents and other loved ones of those killed in Benghazi and explains in detail who made decisions and why in advance of the attack, what everyone at the top including she and the President were doing as events unfolded, why no help was sent, and why she did not stand up as lies were being told about the reasons behind the attack. If the parents and loved ones are satisfied by that discussion, I’ll believe her regrets are real. I’ll be waiting to hear.
HEAR! HEAR!
