Asked about the initial reports of the protests, the official said that while "others" in the administration may have said there were protests, the State Department did not. "That was not our conclusion," the official said.
Then why did Hillary make statements condemning the video & saying that it was not an excuse for bloodshed? See links in my comment above.

oh i know
i almost want to make a thread "Beware of Clintons Bearing Gifts"
so Bill defends Romney at Bain and his qualifications, then is like...oh i'll speak at the DNC
...and be the most memorable thing from the convention
hillary comes out with obama about the embassy attack initially, attacking romney. obama wants a delayed report for the election
...and then hillary has her people shred the president's previous statements

Bill is one of the most deft politicians I've ever seen. It's unbelievable.

Hillary is the brains behind that operation, though. i do think he's roaming more free lately since they're essentially split up
bill isn't an idiot or anything...he's just charm personified. he's kind of a teflon don and knows how to connect with the majority of people in this country. it's a gift you can't teach
obama basically advertised himself as clinton part 2, but it seems that this label was way premature...plus obama didn't have a hillary behind him guiding him, politically.

lol, she certainly did that. The timeline her State Department released debunked the whole "video protest" scenario. There's a thread on it lower on the first page if you haven't seen it, goes from 8:30 PM on the 11th to 4AM on the 12th.

Obama seems to be more easily rattled and thrown off his game, unlike Bill.
I'd love to know if Hillary was always to politically savvy, or if she changed after the Lewinsky scandal.

if i'm romney, i already have a high position in the administration offered to hillary
something that allows her to keep her profile but it harmless, like the ambassador to the UN job or something

I shared this article on facebook, with a brief written summary by myself, and no one seems to care. And that is why we have the government we have today. This should make any Americans blood boil, but instead we'll take the millionth instagram photo that looks exactly the same.

i'm pretty sure bill has always been her vessel to politics. their grouping has been one of political aspiration. i doubt lewisnky did anything...if anything molded her, it was her health care plan being publicly destroyed in the 90s.

It is pretty stinking amazing that this story is not front page of every news publication in the country. That is very telling about the media that is constitutionally supposed to protect us from government.
Every day something else comes out that shows the administration has intentionally misled the US electorate on this issue...and that they have blood on their hands as well.

she's insulating herself from this fiasco so she still has a legacy to run on
If by running you mean for prez in four years, I don't think that will happen. She'll be 69 by then. Not sure if she'd want all the headaches at that age. Who knows though?

A very, very shrewd/savvy woman. I do not like her or her political leanings, but I respect her intellect tremendously.

Not run for pres, just to remain viable for any involvement in DC.

i think she's going to run again. 2008 was supposed to be her year. she sat through the personal embarrassment of her husband's presidency and then they rigged her seat in NY. bill did what he was told and they built her up with 2008 in mind. that was enough time to establish herself as a viable political candidate on her own (bill made sure to keep a relatively low profile)
then obama basically comes out of nowhere and ruins that. i seriously doubt hillary hasn't taken her eyes off the prize

I'll tell you what happened here. Hillary found out that the administration planned to replace her with Rice at the beginning of Obama's second term.
This pissed her off so she kneecapped Rice's plans to be the next SOS and she stuck it to Obama at the same time in doing this.
