| A good guest has to know when to leave the party. Susan Rice wasn’t a good guest. She waited until well after midnight, when everyone was tapping their watches and thinking of bed. Her insistent lingering turned sympathy into contempt--and when she finally decided to go, she did so loudly and rudely. The only person to regret her departure will be the man who invited her, Barack Obama. And not necessarily because he’ll miss her, but because her melodramatic exit has put an ugly word back in to common usage. Benghazi. Benghazi. Benghazi. Susan Rice has withdrawn her name

Comments: The metaphor suits Rice very well.

she was forced to bow out to avoid revealing to the public during confirmation that obama is working for the saudis. ambassador and team were funneling libyan weapons to syrian rebels (muslim brotherhood) via turkey, and training them. you will soon hear about assad using chem weapons on his people, but it will really be the us trained rebels doing it. this will give obama the excuse to take out assad and install the brotherhood there. just as the saudis want him to.

#1, definitely Rice had a lot of beans to spill, wasn´t gonna happen. And I do think that obama gets his marching orders from overseas, but it´s likely be a much larger coalition that just the Saudis. Have to include the old school Soviets as his puppet handlers, maybe ChiComs also.

Bengazhi wasn´t Rice primary problem.She actually had no business commenting on it as a UN ambassador. This was in the state dept,pentagon and intelligence purview.
What did Rice in was her willingness to lie for Obama on 5 different networks,well after it was known it was a terror attack. Nobody really knows what went wrong with the narrative about the video being blamed,which all Obama hacks were happy to embrace as the storyline.My guess is the Seals getting involved exposed the lie.
When you look at an Egyptian being the main thug in the embassy attack,that tells me the riots in Egypt were coordinated with the Libyan attack to cover up the real reason Stevens was killed. He was killed by his own government with the aid of terrorists.
You almost have to laugh at the fact Rice willingly went around lying about this for Obama´s sake and he winds up throwing her under the bus. If nothing was wrong here,she´d be up for the job.

As usual, the American press continues to feign ignorance about this story, as we learn the facts from London. Just continued lies of omission from the NYY, WaPo and other pathetic newsies on this side of the pond. .... How telling is that!
Always willing to print accusatory tales of GOP racism when a black candidate does not receive congressional or national support, the silence of Old Media on this story is roaringly loud. Nobody bought the race card this round. Oooops.
Thus, it appears that John Kerry, who served in Viet Nam, will replace Hillary .... so she can prepare her presidential campaign for 2016. .... Dontcha love it when they go after each other. Pass the popcorn.

Rice is an inept puppet of another inept puppet. She was never nominated, just rumored for the position.
Now, we´ll have to put up with the long-faced Brahman liar - Jane Fonda-like traitor. Thanks a lot zippy voters!

We seem to be forgetting that Susan Rice, on that fateful sunday morning, added a bit of nonsense to the ´video caused the riot´ by saying that Al Queada had been ´decimated.´ I don´t think that was even offered by the dimwitted old man, Clapper, who is in charge of of the DNI operation. (decimated was being misused by Susan Rice - it does not mean nearly eliminated - instead, it means reduced by a tenth. Roman Emperor Caligula was the one who killed one tenth of his army each year to keep everyone scared. The former CEO of GE did the equlvalent to his managers every year - the bottom 10% were terminated.)

It was cynical. It was calculating. And it was done out of malice in a ham-fisted plot which went wrong. The trial spoke volumes about the sheer nastiness of the individuals involved.

A coral reef in Northern Australia severely damaged by warming seas has managed to completely heal itself in just 12 years, stunned researchers have found. The team found that being left alone to breed on its own was key. The discovery raises hope that other damaged reefs could ´regenerate´. The new research shows that an isolated reef off the northwest coast of Australia that was severely damaged by a period of warming in 1998. It was hit by coral bleaching, caused by higher water temperatures that break down the coral´s symbiotic relationship with algae that provide food for coral growth.

North Korea has transported two more missiles to the east coast, Seoul military sources have revealed, triggering speculation that it is ready for an abrupt missile launch. North Korea has loaded two intermediate-range missiles onto mobile launchers and hidden them in an unidentified facility near the east coast, South Korea´s Yonhap news agency has said. "It has been confirmed that North Korea, early this week, transported two Musudan mid-range missiles by train to the east coast and loaded them on vehicles equipped with launch pads," Yonhap quoted the official as saying.

As the US and China grow increasingly involved, Kim Jong-un must be brought into line if war is not to be triggered by an act of recklessness. There are two schools of thought about what lies behind North Korea’s increasingly frenzied posturing. The first goes like this: the rhetoric emanating from Pyongyang--including calls to “break the waists of the crazy enemies [and] totally cut their windpipes”--is no worse than their decades-old ritualistic promises to turn South Korea into a “sea of fire”. What we are witnessing, according to this theory, is nothing more than an inexperienced leader

Anyone who remembers the halcyon dreams of the 1990s, of civil society spreading the world over, heralding a new peaceful, global millennium, must marvel at the path the young 21st century has taken. Even those who paid attention to global Jihad before the millennium could not imagine how vulnerable the West would prove in the coming, wildly asymmetrical war. Those who, over the course of the last 13 years, have awakened to the ever-growing danger of Islamism and to the astonishing inability of decent people--Muslims and non-Muslims--to effectively oppose its aggressions, owe themselves a brief lesson in cognitive warfare, and

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school.
