| Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has stepped forward to say she accepts responsibility for the fact that our consulate in Benghazi was refused enhanced security. This is another example of her willingness to take one for the team. But what does it mean? Will she “accept responsibility” by resigning her office? This is what is meant by accepting responsibility in most parliamentary democracies. As secretary of state, she surely knows that any of her NATO colleagues who accepted responsibility for such a debacle would immediately surrender his office.

Comments: Of course not. It will be just like when Janet (from another planet) Reno "took responsibility" for the Waco debacle. There will be no immediate consequences for Madam. She will go about her merry way being the incompetent boob she is.....besides, Madam Rodham still has another three months to traipse all over the globe and finish her grand world tour vacation on our dime.

Of course not! It was well known she was leaving at the end of the term.. one way or another anyway, so in the minds of sick liberals, this makes her look presidential. Too bad the men in the administration can never take responsibility for anything except killing Bin Laden. All this does is take the State Dep out of the story. The lies and cover up are another thing. Shes in that to her eyeballs, too. I see Jarrett's and Axelrod's slimy fingerprints all over this one. You can't tell me that Obama was aware of the stupid youtube video. This is campaign tactics gone wild... and deadly

IF she would resign at say, five o'clock, she could exact maximum damage to BO while standing up and taking the consequences - looking better for 16 if she takes responsibility all the way and implys she is taking one for the team. She could simultaneously damage Barry and set herself up - 2 years will pass fast and then she can re-invent the whole mess and get onto running for 16. She don't like him.

Hillary could always come out and say ''After discussions with President 0bama it has been decided that it is best for the State Dept. that I resign early rather than in January.'' 0bama then goes on to lose 10% of the women voters.

#8 is close to the truth. She has been promised a nomination to the Supremes if she cooperates and protects The Won. She knows 2016 is out...what could be better? A lifetime appointment where she could rule from on high, that's what. First Lady, Senator, Sec of State, Supreme Court judge...I imagine that would have great appeal to PIAPS.

What good will resigning one month before the election do ?
Nobody expected Zippy to take the blame before an election, did they ?
Shillary has been under the bus so many times she is looking like road kill.
Janet Reno took the blame for Shillary's husband. Tell me one other person in Washington willing to step up to the plate and say "The buck stops here. I take full responsibility" after being on the job for just days ? Slick becomes a maven and Janet becomes a disgrace.

No, she won't. All she has done is raise her hand to the referee, like in a basketball game, trying to take the call to protect the star player that actually committed the foul. Her version of responsibility lacks the actionable component of true responsibility - "accountability". That part is forever off the table for a Clinton.

No, because liberal Democrats like Hillary will accept responsibility of policy failure, but facing the consequences of such isn't necessary.
Call it cheap grace and absolution, Washington-style, and reserved only for Democrats.

Of course not. She has "taken responsibility" the same way people like her apologize for America: by blaming others. She is sorry for what somebody else did. What she actually means is that career State department employees erred and that she, as Secretary of State, is nominally responsible. She has no intention of resigning. It would take a 6 person cell extraction team in full body armor to get her or any other Democrat out of office before their term is up. "Taking responsibility" for someone like Hillary Clinton is nothing but words. Like her oily husband in whose wake she has traveled like a pilot fish after an ocean liner, she has never been held to any real responsibility in her entire public life. It is not the Clinton way.

In her remarkable life, Margaret Thatcher achieved what Hillary Rodham Clinton still wants (or at least what the pundits say she wants): She became the first female leader of her country, and she did it in such a determined way that her sex was almost an afterthought. In many respects, the two women are profoundly different. Thatcher, who died Monday at 87, was a self-described "conviction politician" and arch-conservative who channeled Milton Friedman and bonded fiercely with "Ronnie" Reagan, her great pal and partner on the world stage as the Cold War came to an end.

DETROIT -- A Detroit professor and legal adviser to the Vatican says Catholics who promote gay marriage should not try to receive holy Communion, a key part of Catholic identity. And the archbishop of Detroit, Allen Vigneron, said Sunday that Catholics who receive Communion while advocating gay marriage would "logically bring shame for a double-dealing that is not unlike perjury." The comments of Vigneron and Edward Peters, who teaches Catholic canon law at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit, are part of a polarizing discussion about gay marriage

The Justice Department said Holder wasn´t chosen and that he won´t be called back. Had he been selected for the jury Tuesday, the attorney general would have been on a panel hearing an armed robbery case.

The U.S. has been denied direct access to the only publicly known suspect in custody in connection with the Benghazi terror attack, Fox News has learned, with U.S. interrogators still unable to sit in the same room as the Egypt-held prisoner to ask questions. Abu Ahmed, also known as Mohammed Jamal, is suspected of establishing Islamist training camps in Eastern Libya where militants who took part in the Sept. 11 Benghazi terrorist attack were able to train. Ahmed is not suspected of directly taking part in the attack which left four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, dead.

For the past five months, the Republican message on foreign policy message has been defined by a single word: Benghazi. Ever since the deadly September 11 attack on the U.S. compound in that Libyan city, Republicans have obsessed over the episode. Mitt Romney made Benghazi a favorite talking point in the 2012 campaign home stretch. More recently, Republicans have invoked Benghazi to shoot down one would-be cabinet nominee, Susan Rice, and delay two others, Chuck Hagel and John Brennan. They have dragged a parade of administration officials, including Hillary Clinton

TIMBUKTU, Mali - One of the last things the bearded fighters did before leaving this city was to drive to the market where traders lay their carpets out in the sand. The al-Qaida extremists bypassed the brightly-colored, high-end synthetic floor coverings and stopped their pickup truck in front of a man selling more modest mats woven from desert grass, priced at $1.40 apiece. There they bought two bales of 25 mats each, and asked him to bundle them on top of the car, along with a stack of sticks.

Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

More than six months since Ambassador Christopher Stevens was assassinated by terrorists in Benghazi, the Obama administration is still trying to keep a lid on information about the attack. Congress and the American people need to know what happened the night of Sept. 11, 2012. Who did the killing and what was their motive? Why wasn´t help sent? And why did the administration lie about who was responsible? Members of Congress have asked hundreds of questions at hearings conducted by several investigative committees, but many of the most significant have been left unanswered.

John McCain, who on Sunday’s “Face the Nation” on CBS questioned those Republicans who are threatening a filibuster on pending gun control legislation. Scarborough said such a filibuster would be an example of the GOP putting “rapists’ rights ahead over parents’ rights.” “[I] tell you what, Richard Haass, I saw John McCain there,” Scarborough said. “And I’m hopeful.

Margaret Thatcher had more impact on the world than any woman ruler since Catherine the Great of Russia. Not only did she turn around—decisively—the British economy in the 1980s, she also saw her methods copied in more than 50 countries. "Thatcherism" was the most popular and successful way of running a country in the last quarter of the 20th century and into the 21st. Her origins were humble. Born Oct. 13, 1925, she was the daughter of a grocer in the Lincolnshire town of Grantham. Alfred Roberts was no ordinary shopkeeper.
