That doesn't come anywhere close to speaking a language, Region.

Hillary Rodham Clinton speaks no foreign languages, but has visited 90 countries. She has never negotiated an agreement between two warring sides, but a speech she delivered in Beijing in 1995 is still quoted by women’s rights advocates around the world.

Absolute Doublespeak. That is exactly who "we" are. It has been who "we" are for well over a hundred years.

Yes; responsible n accountable mean the same thing.
She implies that thay don't.

It wouda been fun,
if a reporter had pressed her to explain the difference.
Multiple be the chuckles.
