Are you referring to the attack in October 1983, which was the single deadliest attack on American Marines since the Battle of Iwo Jima?

Or are you referring to six months earlier when militants bombed the U.S. embassy in Beirut killing sixty-three people, including seventeen Americans?

Or are you referring to March of 1984 when militants struck American officials in Beirut again, kidnapping the C.I.A.’s station chief in Beirut, Bill Buckley, torturing him on tape and then murdering him?

Or are you referring to Reagan's Chairman of the Joint Chiefs saying "It is beneath our dignity to retaliate against the terrorists who blew up the Marine barracks"?

Or are you referring to the fact that Reagan's response to all this was to cut and run?

That did not last long. But it did screw me.

Beirut was stupid.

Benghazi was deliberate.

Well yes, Benghazi was the result of a deliberate blocking of requests by the State Dept. for additional funding for security by a number of GOP legislators. It was not the first or last attack on embassies and related outposts, and the need for increased funding had been recognized well in advance of this event. But every request for additional funds was blocked in Congress.

Then she and gullible idiots supporting her blamed everybody, The Russians, Bernie Bros, The Deplorables, everybody but herself...

I'm only seeing this from the other side of the water but a quick Google turns up:

Clinton admits election mistakes in new book

Hillary Clinton admits to making several mistakes in her quest to become US president in a new memoir.
Hillary Clinton has admitted to making more than one mistake in her losing presidential campaign, and she's also passed around plenty of blame on others as she revisits the defeat in a new book.
Clinton calls her use of a private email server while at the State Department 'dumb.'
She also says her comment about putting coal miners out of business is the mistake she regrets the most, and called her paid speeches to Wall Street banks bad 'optics.'


Hillary Clinton admitted in her new book that it "was a mistake" for her to rake in six-figure fees for corporate speeches on Wall Street just before running for president, which both Republicans and Democrats criticized during the campaign.

And plenty more from across the media world.

Paul
She also said that none of her mistakes was the one that cost her the election. She put the blame on someone else rather than add up all her mistakes and see they account for a ten point margin.

A vague attempt to make a point when you got nothing of substance. Bernie teach you that? [I'm digging into you Filiam, but don't take it to mean that we're not friends ever, please. I just debate hard.]
Being the candidate with the highest unfavorable rating in modern history isn't a point of substance? Tell us again why Bernie was responsible for her loss.

Cool. So that's why you hated the only firewall that could stop Trump. The pretending to care about the fates of those 4 individuals. The only people to die.

Help always comes when called.
It may be too late.
It may not be enough.
Help always comes when called.

Benghazi.

Stand Down.

The closest help was 12-14 hours away at best, and not prepared to be deployed by the military. No stand down order was given, just what was available was way too far away to be used. The help that was brought in was long past when it would helped, any of the few resources nearby would have been wasted sent in earlier.

Her opponent had considerably worse favorability/unfavorability ratings, which somehow didn't seem to defeat him.

Of course, he had all of those other qualifications going for him. :RollingEyesSmiley5:

I don't think anyone is saying Bernie was responsible for her loss. I think people are noting that his lukewarm (at best) support for Clinton, and his followers putting hatred for Clinton over concern for country didn't help.

He won the Electoral College even though he was under water by 7%-8%. I was commenting on low democrat turnout in the primaries two months before the Democratic Convention. Republicans and Independents turned out to vote against Clinton and vote for 45.

You haven't been keeping up.

I stick to Bernie. The rest is just your fantasy. I prefer truth.
