“When we ask the question, who is responsible for the tragedy of the murder of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi, there is a very clear answer. It was Hillary Clinton.” — Former Ambassador John Bolton

Former US Ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, gave a speech this past Friday at the 2015 Southern Republican Leadership Conference in Oklahoma wherein he simply hammered Democrat presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton as being “responsible” for the murders of four Americans in the Benghazi terrorist attack.

Below is a partial transcript of Ambassador Bolton’s comments (from Breitbart):

“I think the most telling information that we have seen in this limited number of emails is that there are repeated examples of Secretary of State Clinton being told in 2011 and 2012 that the security situation of our personnel in Tripoli and Benghazi was very precarious. The country’s government had fallen apart—that the threat from terrorist attacks was high and that our people were very concerned about it.

Now you’ll recall in her limited public appearances to date that she has said, you know, I don’t get involved in that security stuff, you know, I have people that do that. Well I have to say when I heard that I was stunned. I’ve worked for six different secretaries of state, everyone of them coming from very different backgrounds, every one of them cared about the safety of the Americans who worked for them in the State Department. And not one of them would have missed the danger that our diplomats in Libya faced. And this was called to her attention repeatedly and she didn’t do anything about it. So when we ask the question, who is responsible for the tragedy of the murder of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi, there is a very clear answer. It was Hillary Clinton.

She said she didn’t know the security situation in Libya, these documents alone, these are the first documents, it’s only going to get worse after this, after the other documents come out, but these documents alone, we know she was advised repeatedly about how dangerous it was.”

This is a scathing indictment of Clinton’s involvement in the Benghazi debacle. While Ambassador Bolton won’t ever be mistaken for “non-partisan,” his opinion cannot be ignored simply because he’s a conservative. He is one of the foremost thinkers on foreign policy and he has more experience in the field than nearly any other American politician. If Bolton says that Clinton is responsible for the deaths of four American in Benghazi… then she most certainly is to blame.
