"I made the decision. I'm accountable. The buck stops with me" Those words would have meant something if she had followed them with "I resign."

<Under your "reasoning", Clinton would have had to apologize for Waco...> Since I am anti-Bush, you expect, in spite of all evidence, that I am going to be pro-Clinton. You keep on expecting it, even though I consistently say the exact opposite. Of course Clinton should have apologized, of course he bears responsibility. He was in the chain of command, he was Reno's boss, so her mistakes are his also. And it was shameful, for him to keep quiet, and let Reno take all the responsibility. In exactly the same way as it is shameful for Bush2 to try and make his subordinate or his allies responsible for Bush's own words. This whole discussion is so ironic. The Republicans, the conservatives, they are always righteously criticizing the liberals for avoiding personal responsibility. The conservatives are always saying, "We can't let those pregnant black teenagers off the hook, just because they had a deprived childhood. Their actions are their own personal responsibility, nobody else's, and we are going to make them accountable." I guess those rules don't apply to rich white boys. Not in the Age Of Lies.
