Damn straight! She owns this. Get her back in this country and on the stand. Not next week, not after breakfast, NOW!

Might there be a cat fight brewing between Princesses Clinton and Rice?

Rice may be a terrible choice for Secretary of State, but because she is black the Republicans will be afraid to put up much resistance. Reid should be able to get enough votes for confirmation. Where she would be vulnerable would be with the pro-Clinton Democrats...if Bill & Hillary put out the word to stop her, those Democrats who want or expect Hillary to be the nominee in 2016 will probably oppose Rice. Too bad Holbrooke isn't around right now.

There has been a Republican Secretary of State with the surname Rice. If Obama thinks there needs to be a Democratic Secretary of State with the surname Rice, maybe he can tap Kathleen Brown Rice, the sister of Jerry Brown, if she is available. Probably unqualified for the job but that isn't a deal-killer with this administration.

I don’t think so. Rice is a dim bulb who has been an affirmative action hire all of her life, based either on her race or her gender. She did what she was told to do.

Clinton, on the other hand, is smarter but you also have to realize that, as much as the “feminist” crowd loves her, she has made her entire living in the traditional role as the clean-up person for a powerful man. Bill got ahead by relying on her, and Obama is also relying on her to clean up his messes.

The problem in this case, I think, is that she realizes that Obama’s lies are much worse than those of her husband, and he has gotten her in such deep you-know-what that her cover-up could result in jail time for her if she tries to cling to it. On the other hand, if she gives him up, she probably won’t live to see another year, and Bill will be taken down too.

But she can’t stay out of the country forever...

If this had been pursued by the Republicans heavily in the debates and across the board in the campaign before the election, there may have been results of blocking a second term of Obama, but now that he has been reelected not much will developed. His next 4 years will be a mess but that is all that will become of it.

Me thinks that there is more to this and it involves GUN RUNNING! Its one of the few scenarios that makes any sense.

Your right and that is where this Investigation should start,not the security, but the Gun Running,then it would make perfect sense.As usual the Government by design going at it Ass Backwards. Expose the Gun Running and all the rest becomes easily explainable

This story title I have been howling since September, to the roof tops, since Hillary first took the microphone, first, to come up with the move-along-people-nothing-to-see-here mime on the video false flag.

Susan Rice is a side issue for distraction and deflection that is running the clock out, while the guilt, the specifics, the actions and inactions belong lock, stock and barrel with Hillary.

This was her man, her department, her smart power, her security responsibility, her ear for all the numerous requests for increased security, her rejection of those requests, altogether her first priority, according to State Department mission statements.

Whatever coordination was required of other departments, Hillary Clinton was authorized to get it done, or else fail the clear security mission of the State Department.

Whatever reasons for the colossal failures and dereliction to duty, Hillary is required to resign, if justice and protocol means anything anymore.

the buck on the failures that led to Benghazi stop at Clinton's desk, if not Barack Obama's. Rice has to be held accountable for fronting a false narrative and explaining who told her to do so

Let's be fair now, put the three of them in the same cell.

You and me both! She owns this fiasco. That State Department woman that was in front of Congress hearings a few weeks back was as dumb as a stone. Hillary stepped in front of a microphone in front of those murdered and blamed the video. Bull effing crap. Get her back here and on that stand. And I would bet money it was Valerie Jarrett that scrubbed the talking points for Rice. Get her on the stand, too.

And Milbank allows that Rice’s contribution to the Benghazi narrative has been revealing of her lack of depth: My take is Rice agreed to lie and continue the lie in exchange for the SoS position after Hellry steps down.

Heard Warren Buffet urge for higher taxes and Hillary for president. What a dumbo.

So, Obama & cohorts played down the after-action report by CIA that this was an organized AQ associate attack on our Mission at Benghazi. The cover story was a demonstration incited by a video. Ooooookay.

How did anyone from Obama to Susan Rice to Hillary plan to play down this central, unchanged, decisive fact, known by Obama on down within 24 hours of the attack:

Two Americans were KIA by mortar fire at 0400.

Why isn’t the media, McCain, and everyone hammering that fact home at every opportunity?

Yesiree. Agree also on Jarrett to the max. Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn Obama truely didn’t know nuttin’ about nuttin’ on 9-11-12, but what little she may have determined to pass to him. It may have been damn little what the boy president actually saw. Afterall, at the moment nothing was more important than his re-election (and funding the mob activity to get it done). She is the one with the secret service is maxed out covering in an unprecedented fashion.

Someone tell me just why that is?

———why that is?——

My wife, a semifreeper at best, also blames valerie and she is a neophyte political observer.

That means that Valerie is on the black list of many American Women (no racial pun intended)

I follow Ulsterman Report with the White House “insider” reports. The suspicion of Jarrett is just to well founded. Israel reports that it is she who has made three uncovered trips to the Middle East, once a few days before the election. Now I believe that says it all.

My take is Rice agreed to lie and continue the lie in exchange for the SoS position after Hellry steps down.

You're giving Rice more credit than she deserves.

In the first place, while the Ambassador to the UN is a State Dept employee, they report directly to the President and take no orders from State. Rice is the President's girl.

Second, in her position, Rice had no access to intelligence on Benghazi. She didn't know squat until the President (or Jarrett) told her what to say. True, she might've held a contrary opinion based on the news reports -- but she's too dumb to form one.

"Hack" would be a generous word. "Affirmative action Hack" would be more descriptive.
