| The Republican assault on Susan Rice is a fabricated scandal, attacking her for repeating CIA talking points, almost verbatim, to explain the Benghazi attacks. The U.N. ambassador’s version, even with its omissions, may turn out to be closer to the truth than some of the inflammatory GOP rhetoric. But just because Rice is being unfairly pilloried, this doesn’t mean she would be a good secretary of state. And it’s a close call on the merits: Given her friendship with President Obama, she would be uniquely able to speak as his emissary. But she would also carry some baggage
|
Comments: Read further down in the article where he points out that Rice is profane and "mercurial." He also claims that John F´n Kerry would be "loyal" and "discreet." Wrong. Loyal is not a word to associate with Kerry. He should have been tried for treason long ago.

The first line is an obvious lie.
Though the title would indicate the writer has doubts about Rice, I´m not going to wade through more of this flack´s lies to get to the tiny nugget of doubt he feels forced to admit.

John Kerry is a traitor who gave aid and comfort to the enemy. Viet Nam Vets have long memories. Susan Rice is a liar and a useful tool of the Obama administration. A pox on them.

Questioning officials when they´ve disseminated false information to the American people is not an "assault."
It´s a duty.
If the press bothered asking questions Americans want asked, the Republicans wouldn´t have to do it themselves.

My comment on Washington Post website for David Ignatius: Hey David, are you really stupid, or just play one on the net? Or, you are just another lapdog, just repeting the administration talking points. "...fabricated scandal, attacking her for repeating CIA talking points" is the perfect lie. Just want to remind you that Petreaus report didn`t mention anything about demonstrations against any video. I am sure you just overlooked this little detail, but you call yourself a journalist. SHAME

Ignatius is naive. We have already seen the Obama shape of foreign policy to come in Cambodia, where all the Asian nations decided to form their own alliance without the U.S. A black militant with a grievance complex like Rice will only annoy them more. Rice have any understanding of Latin America? I don´t think so - she was hollering that what happened in Honduras was a coup without any information, alienating that nation on the first shot. She has no understanding or appreciation of any of the other nations, either. Her Africa experience is pure Dreams From My Father aggrieved black militancy, described by Dinesh d´Souza.

What gets me is that people like David don´t know that we can see right through their rhetoric. People who want to believe this administration can be fooled but not those that know what propaganda is.
Susan Rice spewed the talking points given her by this administration and likely knew she was lying because the Obama administration was trying to lie to cover their failures before the election.
She is loyal to Obama, no doubt, but lying for you boss is not what America is about and shows her lack of character. Truth is not a priority with this administration, forwarding your agenda is and Susan did just that and will be rewarded by her boss for it.

The Benghazi/Susan Rice imbroglio is a distraction from the sad reality that after four years of Obama´s ´´leadership,´´ the United States has such little stature left in the world that it almost doesn´t matter who our next Secretary of State is.
As long as Obama remains in office, it´s doubtful that anyone connected with his administration will be able to reverse the anti-American attitudes recently exemplified by the leaders of China, India, and South Korea who recently decided to form an economic alliance specifically excluding the U.S.
The only reason our current Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, is being taken seriously is because many people still respect her husband. Therefore, she can scream over the phone to Benjamin Netanyahu without being taken away in a strait jacket; make foolish statements at international conferences; and even be photographed drunk in a foreign bar with no serious repercussions.
But our next Secretary of State will be just another functionary whom few around the world will respect, and will respect even less if it´s Susan Rice with all her failings having been exposed at confirmation hearings.
Obama has hastened the end of the American century, and China and India are ready to dominate the next, with little interest in hearing what American Secretaries of State may have to say about anything.

Textbook propaganda from Ignatius; Pravda would be proud.
Interesting to see the technique -- start out with the biggest lie and throw the blame on the opposition for even questioning her fabrications.
Looks like the Left realizes the possibility of Rice getting shot down, and is trying to find some flimsy rationale other than her lying.

Does this man even know how to do basic research or read her basic work history? She has so much blood on her hands. Remember the embassy bombing in Kenya? That was part of the territory she was in charge of when she was a low level grunt at the State dept. She denied them security too.

FTA: Rice’s biggest advantage is her closeness to the president. She understands his vision of a changing world better than anyone else in government. Her instincts match his on the Arab revolutions, the need to engage Iran, the importance of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. She understood that her job at the United Nations was to reset America’s relations with the world, after the George W. Bush years, and she did it.
How can anyone read this without feeling ill? I think I´m supposed to issue a barf alert. From what Ignatius is saying, it sounds like Rice´s mission as either UN ambassador or SOS is to sell out the United States. She belongs, IMHO, behind bars along with her boss in the WH.
Mr. Ignatius, the only thing wrong with George W. Bush was that he was too nice, when most people wouldn´t have faulted him if he bloodied your nose and that of others like you. The world respected George W. Bush. He took the fight to them for what they did to us on 9/11/2001 - most Americans knew he loved his country and would do anything, as any president should, to protect us. \
Ignatius and his paper can rot in hell!

Honestly. You can´t make this stuff up. What has happened to the WaPo? Are they now competing with the Onion? True, it is a close call. Deportation versus execution. Let her go live in Iran if she wants to. Is Ignatius collecting twice, from WaPo and WH? Is he reporting this dual income to the IRS? Probably not.

The Egyptian government has nabbed a major terrorist tied to the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, (snip) And that terrorist has direct, longstanding ties to al Qaeda leader Ayman al Zawahiri. The captured terrorist is Muhammad Jamal al Kashef (a.k.a. Abu Ahmed), who served as a senior Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ) terrorist in the 1990s and was imprisoned for years. The EIJ was headed by Ayman al Zawahiri, who merged the group with Osama bin Laden’s operation.

It´s hard to believe that the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders could be outshone - but it looks like a group of fun-loving soldiers in Afghanistan might have done it. Call Me Maybe by Carly-Rae Jepsen was turned into a music video by the cheerleaders in August, with the ladies splashing around in a swimming pool, writhing on the beach and waving pom-poms. Earlier this month, the soldiers gave them a run for their money with dance moves and lip synching making do with props from their Afghanistan base.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

U.S. Sen. John McCain bucked the party line coming from many of his fellow conservatives this morning, saying suggestions that compare the trio of scandals gripping the White House to Watergate are “overreaching.” “I think it’s overreaching. We need a full and complete investigation and then we will decide the dimensions of it,” said McCain while campaigning for Republican Senate candidate Gabriel Gomez in Dorchester. “It is terrible but we have to have a full investigation before we leap to conclusions.” The maverick’s caution is a sharp contrast to the response of many Republicans
