Susan Rice Secretary Of State, John Kerry At Defense?
IBD EDITORIALS ^ | November 13, 2012

Leadership: Two of the most important national security positions may be soon held by a diplomat who helped perpetrate a Benghazi-gate lie and a senator who has voted against every major defense system in the last 25 years.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton arrived in Australia on Tuesday before a summit about deepening defense links between Australia and the U.S. as our dwindling forces pivot to the Pacific Rim. Of course, Wednesday hearings on Benghazi have nothing to do with her getting as far from Washington, D.C., as possible.

She'll be conveniently unavailable to testify on the terrorist attack on our consulate in Benghazi and has been deafeningly silent on why and how real-time emails and video plus a claim of responsibility by the al-Qaida-linked group Ansar al-Sharia led her to promote the big lie that it was all caused by an obscure Internet video.

Clinton will soon be our former secretary of state, having successfully kicked the Benghazi can far enough down the political road to get her boss, President Obama, re-elected and proving to be the loyal foot soldier as she prepares her own presidential run in 2016.

Her replacement is said to be U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, who went on five Sunday news shows on Sept. 16 to claim the Benghazi attack was a spontaneous action by a mob inflamed by the video "Innocence of Muslims."

John Kerry would be perfect. I hear he served in Vietnam...

He did serve in Vietnam. And Cambodia. And he's a hero. Just ask him, he'll tell you.

Susan Rice? John Kerry?

Those aren’t even 1/10th as bad as having Obama as president.

Musical Chairs for the pansys.

Imagine Eisenhower appointing a man with a record of war cowardice in ANY Cabinet post.

They are actually considering Napolitano for AG.

Maybe they will nominate Stevie Wonder for Homeland Security. If he cannot see the border, there is no reason to safeguard the border.

Too bad Bill Ayers wasn't available.

NSA Director.


Nah -- Reichsleiter, commandant of Obama's new armed civil-order corps (army group, actually), and architect and overseer of the reeducation-camp system.

What camp system, you say?

The one he promised to build, 42 years ago.

Leadership: Two of the most important national security positions may be soon held by a diplomat who helped perpetrate a Benghazi-gate lie and a senator who has voted against every major defense system in the last 25 years.

Several people commented, the day after the election, that given the narrowness of the victory margin and the GOP's retaining the House in a host of elections nationwide, Obama and his crew ought not overinterpret their win as a "mandate".

And yet appointing a broadpuke of VVAW tools, UN "one-world" mouthpieces, and other far-left flotsam and jetsam obviously for their leanings rather than their resumes (these people wouldn't even be B-listers in any group put together by, say, Joe Biden, Dianne Feinstein, or Walter Mondale), overplaying their hand is apparently exactly what the Chicago Boys are doing.

Of course, if you adjust your perspective a little and see them as a criminal political conspiracy and revolutionaries on the make, then they would of course treat the election as simply another enabling moment, and a mere "mandate" from the electorate, even if they had one, as something to be despised in favor of sterner credentials.

The traitor actually has licenseplate “4PH” on one of his cars. What a freak loser.

I am so sorry for the demise of your namesake. I raised a final twinkie the other evening.

Taps for Twinkies.

Thank you; but don’t count us Twinkies out just yet. - We’re a horrible, nasty little junk food that probably deserves this fate; BUT, Twinkies don’t give up easy.
