Visiting in Cairo to check out the River of Denial, Ambassador Susan Rice, one of the 40 least qualified members of the administration, assured reporters that Obama is not impotent and America is not under attack by Muslims around the world. Then she explained her plans to fly home by closing her eyes and clicking her heels three times.
“We’re not impotent,we’re not even less popular to challenge that assessment” said Rice. ” What happened this week in Cairo, in Benghazi and many other parts of the region was a result, a direct result, of a heinous and offensive video that was widely disseminated, that the U.S. government had nothing to do with, which we have made clear is reprehensible and disgusting.”
The one thing that can be taken away from multiple attacks on US interests with no retaliation from the United States is a lack of impotence and a surplus of potency.
Clearly America is popular in the Muslim world and this has absolutely nothing to do with America. That’s why American embassies and bases are being attacked around the world… because of a “reprehensible” movie that the Islamists were only aware of for a few days before they launched a series of coordinated international attack around the time of September 11.
To test this theory, perhaps Susan Rice should visit Benghazi to condemn the movie in a public forum and reassure us of how much Libyans love America and the Obama Administration. I can think of no better way for everyone to learn that this isn’t about America at all.
Security problems in Benghazi? Nope
“We had substantial presence,” Rice said, ”with our personnel and the consulate in Benghazi. Tragically two of the four Americans there killed were providing security. That was their function. And indeed there were many other colleagues who were doing the same with them. It obviously didn’t prove sufficient to the nature of the attack and sufficient in that moment.”
And by substantial presence, she means no Marines, but a few ex-military bodyguards.
I also asked Rice if the president intended to send a message to President Mohammed Morsi with his comments earlier this week that Egypt was not an ally or enemy of the United States. She said the president did not mean to send a message. “The president wasn’t signaling any change in the nature of our relationship.”
Obviously. Why would any lunatic think that saying that Egypt is no longer an ally would signal a change in the relationship. For example Susan Rice’s husband just told her last week that they’re no longer married and she naturally took that to mean that there was no change in the relationship and when Obama tells her next week that she is no longer the UN Ambassador, then she will assume that there is no change in the relationship being signaled.
“There’s no question that as we’ve seen in the past with things like [Salman Rushdie's] Satanic Verses, with the [Danish] cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, there have been such things that have sparked outrage and anger, and this has been the proximate cause of what we’ve seen,” Rice said on Fox News Sunday. “We are of the view that this is not an expression of hostility in the broader sense toward the United States or U.S. policy. It’s proximately a reaction to this video.”
Certainly the Taliban who just carried out a major attack, not to mention Al Qaeda, have a reputation of not being hostile in the broader sense to the US or US policy. Most Salafis love us as a matter of fact and want to give us great big hugs.
Libya’s own leader, interim president Mohammed Magarief, has said that foreigners infiltrated Libya over the past few months and planned the attack that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
“The idea that this criminal and cowardly act was a spontaneous protest that just spun out of control is completely unfounded and preposterous,” Magarief told NPR in Benghazi on Sunday. “We firmly believe that this was a pre-calculated, pre-planned attack that was carried out specifically to attack the U.S. Consulate.
“The intention was there from the beginning, for it to take this ugly barbaric, criminal form,” he said.
Magarief doubled down in an interview with CBS’s Face the Nation a few hours later.
He told CBS that about 50 people have been arrested in conjunction with the attack on the U.S. consulate, which he said was “definitely planned by foreigners” who entered Libya several months ago and immediately started plotting the assault. He said “a few” of the perpetrators were from Mali and Algeria while others were Libyan “affiliates” and “sympathizers.”
Okay, but what does Libya’s president really know about what’s going on in Libya? Susan Rice knows that a massive attack, part of a series carried out around the world, timed with September 11, was a spontaneous Muslim expression of love for America and distaste for a video.
If the Bush Administration had sent out their pet lunatic to explain to the media that 9/11 had been carried out as a spur of the moment reaction to a Drew Carey joke about Mohammed, there would be three Michael Moore documentaries ridiculing that theory by the next day. But Susan Rice’s demented lies are treated as some kind of authoritative statement from a woman who probably couldn’t find Libya on a map even after lying to the UN about it for three months.
On Sunday, Ambassador Rice also said there was “no daylight” between the United States and Israel over preventing Iran’s nuclear program, despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s vocal concerns this past week that the Obama administration hasn’t identified “red lines” Iran won’t be allowed to cross.
“We have no daylight between us on the issue of preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon,” Rice said. “That is our clear bottom line, and the president could not be any plainer about that.”
If anyone knows what Susan Rice is on, what drug or distilled alcoholic beverage or medication, please drop us a line. We would really like to know, because in Rice’s world things seem so much better than in this one.
But the real question is not whether the 9/11/2012 terrorist attacks were spontaneous, but whether Susan Rice’s lies are spontaneous? Does she make them up all along or does she practice them beforehand? Perhaps we can have a Senate inquiry about that. Right after we do one about why Hillary Clinton decided that a consulate in one of the most violent and dangerous cities on earth didn’t need Marine security.
LOL....Rocketman....burnin up his fuse up there alone...
Sadly we have become the laughing stalk of not only our adversaries but our allies.
HA!
If she were merely a dingbat, that would be bad enough. But this woman is a seriously demented dingbat. She belongs in a padded room.
Obummer keeping a low profile ... Rice out today on all the talk shows lying about everything so he’s hiding behind her skirt. He doesn’t need Viagra ... nothing there for it to work on.
Damn I would pay to see a debate of Susan Rice with former UN Ambassador Bolton..
wouldn’t that be fun...
and just think this chick is one day going to retire with a Fat Gov. Pension and Perks all a gift to her from tax payers. make me see RED......
This whole Obama administration is like a bad wheat crop.....nothing but empty heads.
Susan Rice, the Joe Biden of United Nations Ambassadors.
Susan Rice, the Debbie Wasserman Schultz of United Nations Ambassadors.
Susan Rice, the (insert Democrat here) of United Nations Ambassadors.
Of course. Viagra only works if you actually have male genitalia.
I swear to God this entire administration is a product of affirmative action or outward bound. These fools were all in some sort of “program” as children. The list of participants in this administration reads like a Who’s Who of Idiots.
I just can’t wait to see what comes up this week.
