Susan Rice was not lying but put a “softer touch” on the September 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) said Friday.

"I'm not saying she lied, I'm just saying she didn't tell [the truth],” Chambliss said on MSNBC. “She put a softer touch on what the real facts were. That's not lying.”

Somebody wake Chambliss up, give him his prune juice, and tell him that saying that the attack was due to a video when it was a pre-planned terror attack is LYING.

Doesn't anyone proof read these articles

Chambliss, the senior Republican on Senate Intelligence, said the public would have been “better served” if Rice had given a more accurate account. He argued that by the time Rice gave her account, the administration already knew it was not a terrorist attack.

He’s afraid of being accused of “warring against women”. Pitiful.

“I did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky.”

Dear Senator, no, the *itch lied.

What he meant to say was that she was “actively engaged in truth modification”....

What Rice said was the White House line. It was false, whether she knew it and intentionally lied or not.

Peter King would not comment on the aspect of who called for back-up and who denied cross-border support for the 41 Americans in Benghazi.

It seems to me that if Petraeus exonerated Obama, that King would come forward with that story, or the dems in the room would.

Now, if Petraeus said Obama left those Americans to die at the hands of terrorists, then that information would be handled in a very special way. It would not be leaked by the Dems, and the republicans would have to have several meetings on what to do with it.

THIS IS A CASE OF THE DOG (DEMS) NOT BARKING!

“”I’m not saying she lied, I’m just saying she didn’t tell [the truth],” Chambliss said on MSNBC.”

Hey, Saxby, I’ll just put a “softer touch” on your statement by saying you’re not telling the truth in saying that “Rice didn’t lie.”

Do us all a favor and drop the circumlocutions and euphemisms, Saxby. You’re dealing with a thug regime here.

“This is why Republicans are losers.”
Peter King was just interviewed by Fox and he appeared to be ‘sheepish’ to me. He is usually aggressive and a no nonsense guy. Wonder what was really said behind closed doors?
