U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice told Republican senators that her televised statements last month on the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi were based entirely on information she was given by the intelligence community.
"In my Sept. 16 Sunday show appearances, I was asked to provide the administration's latest understanding of what happened in Benghazi," Rice wrote in a Thursday letter to Sens. John McCain (R-AZ), Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), and Lindsey Graham (R-SC). "In answering, I relied solely and squarely on the information the intelligence community provided to me and other senior U.S. officials, including through the daily intelligence briefings that present the latest reporting and analysis to policy makers. This information represented the intelligence community's best, current assessment as of the date of my television appearances, and I went out of my way to ensure it was consistent with the information that was being given to Congress."
[snip] "Ambassador Rice claims the administration launched a 'comprehensive' effort to determine what happened in Benghazi, but the administration failed to secure the scene of the terrorist attack for three weeks -- allowing evidence and sensitive information to be compromised and destroyed. From beginning to end, the administration's behavior in the wake of the attack indicates a breathtaking level of incompetence and suggests an intent to deliberately mislead Congress and the American people."

I thought we were still blaming it on the video on YouTube.
Was Rice sworn in under oath? She needs to go down as the lying liar that she is.

Rice is another BLAMER , just like the irresponsible “Blamer-in-Chief” , who went to bed intead of demonstrating leadership . That’s just what we need - another Narcisist
To ignore at least 5 previous attempts to destroy the embassey in the few months prior to the attack ..
To deny additional security that the embassey had requested..
To remove the awaiting DC-6 as a possible escape vehicle ..
To arm marines with weapons (WITHOUT AMMO )..
..and then to blame intelligence people ~ that takes ‘CHUTZPAH !’
Whatever happened to your own innate, natural , intelligence and ‘gut-level’ feelings ??
How about just useing ... LOGIC !
Lol, blame the intelligence community. That’s going to go over real well as they generally don’t like being scape goats. Que the intelligence community leaks.
More CYA mischief!
I doubt there's one single bit of "top secret" info. Obama just doesn't want any TRUTH getting out.
Sacajaweau~ “ I doubt there’s one single bit of “top secret” info. Obama just doesn’t want any TRUTH getting out. “
Now , maybe the ‘SLEEPER-in-Chief’ will forgo his golf game and taking his nappies , and start showing up at the Intelligence Meetings .
Naw !!.. He has money to make for his re-coronatin .
FUSR
I saw on brietbart hollywood that the national geographic channel is having a 2 hour movie on killing bin laden as a obama get out the vote effort, although it will only be declred as a made for tv movie.
I wonder how many anti-american riots in the middle east it will cause? And will they happen on the 5th before election day.
LLS
Believes everything she’s told? Chalk up another one in the dumbass column.
The intelligence community was GUTTED under Bill Clinton & Madeline Albright.
They got sold the idea that “boots on the gound’ were NOT superior to electionic eavesdropping & satellites.
They have been proven wrong many times and still the Liberals sing the same old chorus to the same old song.
They are disgusting.
Ambassador Susan Rice’s career is about to be terminated with extreme prejudice by the very same intelligence community she so rejects. Bye-bye, Suzie, we hardly knew ya.
Maybe we need to start keeping a list of all the lies and liars from this admin. it’s getting tough to keep it all in memory.
The CIA and FBI are apparently not thrilled to be the fall guys in this. Obviously.
Does anyone think that Hillary wanted this thing covered up and lied about? This is a serious question. She can’t resign over this and expect to run for prez in 4 years.
Ideas?
