McCain said Obama should bear full responsibility for the death of the ambassador (Alberta Times) In response to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's statement that she took responsibility for the attack and death of the ambassador to Libya, Republican Senator John McCain expressed his appreciation, but he insisted that the White House still needs to clarify the matter and said that Obama, as the commander-in-chief of the military, should bear the responsibility. Senator McCain said it was a commendable gesture "especially when the White House is trying to avoid taking any responsibility." McCain, along with two other Republican senators, made the remarks in a statement. They believe that maintaining the security of Americans around the world is ultimately the responsibility of the commander-in-chief, but the current plight of the U.S. economy has negatively affected security issues. In addition, the three Republican congressmen also raised questions. They said that the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was obviously a terrorist incident. Why did the authorities attribute it to an anti-Islamic movie? Accordingly, they asked the Obama administration to explain clearly, "We still believe that the American people deserve to know the full story." They also said, "If Obama was not aware of the escalating terrorist threat in Benghazi, then we would have lost trust in his national security team; if he was informed of the attack before it occurred, then he himself should bear full responsibility for this tragedy." It is reported that on September 11, US Ambassador Christopher Teevens and three other diplomats were attacked and killed at the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Since then, the US Republican Party has been challenging the Democratic Party on this matter and criticizing Obama's foreign policy. This tragic incident turned into a political topic and became a factor affecting the US presidential election. In order to avoid the "political trap" of the general election, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently stated that she would take responsibility for the attack and death of the US ambassador to Libya.
