Susan Rice Lays All Blame on Intel Community for Her Misleading the American People

Ambassador Susan Rice has finally explained, in her opinion, why she misled the country about what happened during the September 11 terror attack against Americans in Benghazi, Libya. According to Rice, all the blame should be given to the intelligence community for her misleading comments made five days after the attack, since she was just repeating what they had told her.

A reporter asked, the American ambassador to the United Nations, "Ambassador Rice, would you explain your view of the controversy concerning your comments about Benghazi? And have—is Senator McCain fair in what he has said?"

"As a senior US diplomat, I agreed to a White House request to appear on the Sunday shows to talk about the full range of national security issues of the day, which at that time were primarily and particularly the protests that were enveloping and threatening many diplomatic facilities—American diplomatic facilities—around the world and Iran’s nuclear program. The attack on Benghazi—on our facilities in Benghazi—was obviously a significant piece of this," Rice explains.

Gutlessness and cowardice are not a policy nor a defense.

Obama and his affirmative action princes and princesses will not be well served by history.

The truth will come out...even about Chrissy "the Sissy" Matthews (though he will only be an obscure footnote at best)

whoever handed her the paper is guiltiest

her repeating it may have been a koolaid moment, but her first repititions of the lie she does not deserve much blame

for her to keep repeating anything in defense of the lie, however, is worse than koolaid, it is complete complicity in the crime, and the arrest of an innocent man

This is the season for the audio transcription of obozo’s and his administration’s chronic lying — it is when adults talk on the Charlie Brown specials.

Eventually the intel community is going to get tired of being blamed for Hussein’s treachery and incompetence..

The bottom line is this:

Either Obama will bring the Country down...or the Country will bring Obama down.

There is no other option.

Choose freedom (and war) or serfdom (and surrender).

Will definitely be a perfect representative of zero as SOS when Hillary resigns.>

She's got the "blame it om someone else" game down pat.

Obama, who didn't grow up around the custom of shucking and jiving (telling the whiteman something to make him quit bothering you or go away) has absolutely no excuse for this.

Rice, by playing to the stereotype, really isn't doing anyone any good. She's also proving she's unable to rise above her origins.

That brings up another question:

If she was basing her comments on data she got from the Intel Community, which Intel organization informed her that a movie was the cause of the riots/attacks?

Well, the US “intelligence” “community” has certainly been caught with it pants down.

Also, we are to believe that she received NO updates from 11 September 2012 to the time that she made her first post-attack chat show appearance. Sure. And if I told you that rabid badgers make good pets, would you believe me?

Clapper (DNI) has taken the fall for that.

Yep, they’ve got their story figured out now, and this is it. Spread the official words via JournoList and have the echo chamber repeat them...

We’ll get suckered again because we never fight this kind of crap like they do. “Bush Lied, People Died” if anyone needs a reminder....

This absolutely proves that Ms Rice has no integrity nor honor or dignity. She bald facedly lied to America's face and KNEW it all along. She watched the Ambassador and others die and did not object....what a crass and craven act...

...if the House of Representatives doesn't do something about it, they are also without honor.

...ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES...do they not, Mr. Boehner?

So, we are to believe that Clapper took it upon himself to alter the material with no direction from anyone. Ladies and gents, the administration finds new ways to insult our intelligence on a daily basis. Mendacious misbegotten mountebanks.

In a just world the media would be hounding the admin over the rape and sodomizing of a US diplomat caused at the very least incompetence or at the worst, treachery..

The election is over...but lest no one make a mistake, we are still at war for the heart and soul of this country (now more than ever).

Harden yourselves, harden your minds and bodies.

This is one we must win!
