Homeland Security Chairman Calls on Ambassador to UN to Resign

Meredith Shiner

House Homeland Security Chairman Peter King (R-N.Y.) tonight called on U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice to resign from her post in light of comments she made regarding the nature of the attack earlier this month on a U.S. consulate in Libya.

Rice, whose name has been floated as a potential replacement for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, told NBC and ABC on Sept. 16 that evidence at the time suggested the attacks that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were "spontaneous." Since then, President Barack Obama has indicated the attacks were, in fact, planned and are being considered "a terrorist attack."

"I believe this was such a failure of foreign policy message and leadership, such a misstatement of facts as were known at the time, and for her to go on all of those shows and to in effect be our spokesman to the world and to be misinforming the American people and our allies in countries around the world, to me, somebody has to pay the price for this," King told CNN. "I think we have to send a clear message and on such a vital as this, where an American ambassador is killed, whereby all the accumulation of evidence at the time, the presumption had to be it was terrorism. ... To rule out terrorism, to say it was not terrorism at the time, to me, was a terrible mistake to make, whether it was it was done intentionally or unintentionally, to show the significance of that, I believe [Rice] should resign.".......

They were pretty outraged, but aa they pointed out the media is covering it up for 0bama too.

One of them was explaining how none of the other media outlets either had the story or if they did it was put at the end of the newscast.

AND they really slammed Bob Beckel...Bob really realized there was/is no defense for this. He tried, but they let him have it with both barrels.

high profile people can be murdered in plain sight.

am in agreement. A message was sent out. The government only fears the People. To attempt to make all People fear the government, this message was sent. Makes me wonder when the false flag will be done against the citizens. The government will be the sponsor of the false flag if not the actual perpetrators. Used to believe the government was there to protect the People. No longer believe this because of what the government has done in the middle east. The lies by those who should know better, and the liars are very well paid in the media. Those who want to kill us are very well paid in the middle east. Our government pays and supplies weapons to those who want to kill American citizens, and when people get close to finding out what our government is up to, they (our government) setup another kill zone to confuse the People and the lies begin again. My only questions are when and where will the false flag be flown against the citizens. Not that there are not false flags occurring constantly already.

Boehner? He’s busy keeping the rest of his pretend opposition party in line......

One party of Ivy league incumbents, using labels to good cop/ bad cop the ignorant TV addicted populace to share something like 49 or 51% of the pie.

Everyone focuses on the top but it’s going to take another 535 ropes & lamp posts to fix the problem.
