It’s a close call on
Susan Rice

Washington Post, by David Ignatius

Original Article

Posted By:LadyVet, 12/1/2012 7:48:30 PM

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.

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.

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!

More than six months since Ambassador Christopher Stevens was assassinated by terrorists in Benghazi, the Obama administration is still trying to keep a lid on information about the attack. Congress and the American people need to know what happened the night of Sept. 11, 2012. Who did the killing and what was their motive? Why wasn´t help sent? And why did the administration lie about who was responsible?

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

Margaret Thatcher had more impact on the world than any woman ruler since Catherine the Great of Russia. Not only did she turn around—decisively—the British economy in the 1980s, she also saw her methods copied in more than 50 countries. "Thatcherism" was the most popular and successful way of running a country in the last quarter of the 20th century and into the 21st. Her origins were humble. Born Oct. 13, 1925, she was the daughter of a grocer in the Lincolnshire town of Grantham. Alfred Roberts was no ordinary shopkeeper.
