TEL AVIV – When she went on five television talk shows to deliver the Obama administration’s response to the Benghazi attacks, UN Ambassador Susan Rice says she did not even know about the existence of the CIA Annex in Benghazi.
The startling admission about her lack of knowledge of the events was provided by Rice herself in testimony to the House and was contained in the final report of the House Republicans Select Committee on Benghazi released on Tuesday and reviewed in full by Breitbart Jerusalem.
Ben Rhodes, the White House’s Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications and Speechwriting, has admitted that he selected Rice to represent the administration’s views and appear on the talk shows five days after the attacks.
The Benghazi report finds that Rice was Rhode’s third choice after Hillary Clinton and then National Security Adviser Thomas Donilon declined.
In doing so, the Committee found, “the administration selected an individual who did not even know there was a CIA presence in Benghazi, let alone the fact that two Americans had died there.”
The Benghazi report quotes from Rice’s testimony on the subject, where she admits she was ill informed:
Q: Did you learn between September 11 and September 16 that were was a CIA presence in Benghazi?
A: I think—no. I think I learned subsequently.
Q: So nobody told you between the dates of September 11 and September 16 that two of the four Americans who were killed who were providing security actually worked for the CIA and not the State Department?
A: Not that I recall.
Q: All right. And you learned that subsequently?
A: To the best of my recollection, I learned it subsequently.

I think it is economic dependency and the desire to take other peoples stuff at government gun point.
Rice’s FBI file must be very interesting
Yet they ask us to believe their report?
These friggin’ clowns are a mix of the Keystone Kops and Jon Lovitz’s pathological liar character on SNL that said “Yeah, that’s the ticket.” Not a single honorable decent person in the whole administration.
She's a soulless ghoul.
Susan Rice is only in Washington because of her total willingness to say whatever BS Jarrett/Obama give her to say. She has no other skill or knowledge.
And they claim the American people trust the Democrats more with national security now. If there’s any truth to that, the country is beyond saving.
I sincerely hope that President Trump releases Rice’s FBI file to the public, as well as Hillary’s, Bill’s, Zero’s, Blumenthal’s, etc. etc.
The world needs to know who these cretins really are.
The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing. - Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)
Excellent.
Rice was happily tapped as the cover up “mule” for the public face of the White House.
Why? Who else would be so stupid as to accept such an assignment?
Roadstoad Ben is a piece of work, huh?
For stupidity? She should never work in government again Obama and Hillary are the ones responsible.
She’s a Democrat....screwing-up is a resume enhancer.
Obama’ll prolly give her a $500,000 a year job at one of his tax-exempt foundations....
......maybe the one that will administer the $100 million Moocher is pedaling in Morocco “to teach girls.”
Susan fell out of that tree on her head.
In my 50 years or so of observing politics there have been many screwed up people who have drawn power, paychecks, and pensions from the hard working, taxpaying public. Susan Rice’s performance in this clown act puts her in a league of her own. No one else comes close. Every time I see her face uncontrollable laughter begins.
She has to continue to keep lying.
For her to admit the truth, she would be an international war criminal.
Susan Rice couldn’t spell cat if you spotted her the ‘C’ and the ‘T’.
