She had a responsibility to her Ambassador, who worked DIRECTLY for her. She had the means and opportunity, and the authority was but one phone call away, to launch a rescue operation that had at least a modicum of hope of success and whole teams of men begging to be given the chance to help.

The contractors (Former Navy Seals, AMERICANS) were there on contract to the UNITED STATES for supplemental Embassy Security.

How exactly is YOUR understanding of the Chain of Command going to change your mind as to whose shoulders the responsibility rested?

A LEADER does not leave their people stranded, at risk of life and limb, with the means at hand to help, and slough it off....LIE, that the consequence of their death is an angry outburst over a movie to cover her lack of leadership, and/or lack of knowledge of how to act.

At best she is a sorry excuse for a leader. At worse she is morally repugnant.

Not misogynistic. I'd love for a woman to be President. Give me Carly Fiorina.
