I saw an interview with him on CNN and he said that it was a scheduling error and he came from two different meetings about Benghazi while this one, being spoken about here, was going on.

Condi Rice was a flat out liar. Plus, her education centered on the Soviets. She was a Cold War leftover and an oil company hack. When it came to Iraq and terrorism, she did what Cheney told her to do.

Yeah, he also said supporting Condi Rice over Susan Rice was different because the entire world's intelligence community said there were WMDs in Iraq...completely neglecting the fact that she falsely insinuated to the American people that Iraq was moving toward nuclear capability.

Don't believe a damned thing you hear coming from that man's mouth. His "war hero" persona has been completely replaced by his "bat-**** crazy old man" persona.

Bachmann, Palin, and whatever Republican female you want to name are considerably dimmer bulbs than Condi. I doubt her lies are extraordinary and are more a matter of party politics. She not as stupid as Pelosi.

Condi outshines Paul Ryan at RNC...

It's okay. We'll keep going with the "crazy old man meltdown" meme.

Suffice it to say if it were a liberal, we wouldn't be hearing slurs about his age.

The reason John McCain says Susan Rice is "not very bright" is she was honest and called out John McCain embarrassing him. McCain loved Palin because kisses more than a little ass.

In a city of sharp elbows Susan Rice has managed to piss of several of the wrong people. The beltway boys want one of their own. John Kerry wants the job.

Nominate Kerry or Powell again and be done with it.
I actually agree that Kerry should get the slot, although it has nothing to do with Rice being unfit. Kerry would be a superb SOS and, as you stated, would be an easy confirmation. I've been reading indications, though, that the Benghazi controversy and the rights shameless attacks on Rice may lead Obama to dig his heals in on going with her.

Under GW Bush it is not commonly known that there was a rash of diplomats who quit due to deaths in Iraq. There were quite a few job openings back then. Diplomats do not get paid that well for the risk they sometimes take.

Petraeus Testifies, McCain Shuts Up

by Joe Conason

Link

On Friday the Republican politicians who had so angrily demanded the testimony of David Petraeus about Benghazi got what they wanted - and what they deserved - when the former CIA director set forth the facts proving that their conspiracy theories and witch-hunts are dead wrong.

Appearing behind closed doors on Capitol Hill, Gen. Petraeus answered questions from legislators concerning the tragic Sept. 11 assault that left Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others dead.

When the session concluded, Petraeus was spirited away. And Senator John McCain (R-Depends), whose criticism of the Obama administration over Benghazi has verged on hysterical, emerged from the hearing room with very little to say to the reporters waiting outside.

I really hope McCain loses this fight and gets sent over the cliff screaming.

Anybody see Tom Ricks go off on Fox? Pretty funny little drama going on there.

Ricks appeared on Fox News on Monday to promote his new book "The Generals." The interview was cut short, lasting only 90 seconds, after the Pulitzer Prize winning-journalist and author said that Fox News "hyped" the story about the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and was "operating as a wing of the Republican Party."

BTW, I think a great nickname for McCain would be "Old Man Meltdown."

Comedy Gold.

Here's Rice blaming Youtube and a 'spontaneous' protest on Sept. 16th. You say to protect 'secret' information that Ansar al-Sharia was suspected.



Here's a NYTimes article from Sept 15th already highlighting Ansar al-Sharia's role in the attack.
