Hillary Clinton: Benghazi Her Biggest Regret
It certainly will be coming up a lot should she run for president
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton remained vague on her 2016 ambitions Monday, but said her biggest regret while leading the department was the 2012 attacks in Benghazi.
"You make these choices based on imperfect information and you make them to — as we say — the best of your ability. But that doesn't mean that there's not going to be unforeseen consequences, unpredictable twists and turns," Clinton said Monday during the National Automobile Dealers Association conference in New Orleans, according to video from CNN.

"But that doesn't mean that there's not going to be unforeseen consequences, unpredictable twists and turns."
I think the unforeseen consequences that she's referring to are the media scrutiny it all received, which was bigger than she expected, not the fact that people died.
When you make up a story and THAT'S the reason the information is "imperfect", perhaps you don't get the same kind of deference, you know?
She's the self-made orphan begging the judge for mercy.
