Hillary is as leftist as Obama. Hillary and her immediate staffers are to blame. Victoria Nuland is a lying sack, she’s the State Department spokesman on TV all the time. Obama and his lying minions knew this would impact the presidential race so they were in on the scheming
CNN exposing the Ambassador’s diaries is what blew up this lying and scheming. If not for this, the lying and spinning would still be intact, protected by the 0-media
It’s true that the whole regime is to blame, but Obama is certainly first and foremost among them (followed by Hillary, who may have known better once upon a time but is now a complete Obama suck-up). Aside from the fact that he couldn’t be bothered to attend intelligence briefings, and that he has done everything possible to handicap our intelligence gathering capabilities in the first place, his irresponsible behavior while the thing was still going on and immediately thereafter is so appalling it’s almost unbelievable, even for him.
However, that said, I found it odd that they would put Susan Rice out there in the first place. The UN is not something to which we have to explain our actions nor is it something that has any authority over us or right to have any input in our decisions. So why was our UN Ambassador acting as the lead in all this?
Probably because Obama’s real goal (well, one of them) is to put the US under the control of the UN or some other international body, one way or the other.
And then there’s the other possibility, which was that they feared that at some point it might not be possible to “contain” this anymore (doing the Nixonian “limited modified hang-out”) and she was picked to be the sacrificial victim they would offer up.
