The enemy of my enemy
I was kind of lukewarm about Susan Rice as the next Secretary of State -- she has high qualifications, but she'd been around for a while a now -- but that's all changed.
The enemy of my enemy
I was kind of lukewarm about Susan Rice as the next Secretary of State -- she has high qualifications, but she'd been around for a while a now -- but that's all changed. The McCarthyism-style smearing of her -- with about as much evidence as Joe McCarthy had on that laundry list in Wheeling -- by Sen. John McCain & Co. has been one of the more disgraceful episodes in modern politics. Which is saying quite a lot when you think of it. That makes her nomination and confirmation no longer an option -- but a necessity. We'll be getting a solid cabinet member -- and putting an end to swift-boating in our time.

Whaaa? She's entitled to her own opinions, not her own facts - she flat out lied for two weeks (or was told to and did). If this was John Bolton you'd be calling for heads...— Diaperman50- Rebuplicans and Democrats both believed that Saddam had WMDs. You can check the quotes on Snopes.com
Saddam did use WMDs on the Kurds unless you think that biological or chemical weapons don't qualify.
Just tired of hearing this old retort.— octom - Octom: you must have forgotten during Colin Powell's presentation to the UN back before the start of the Iraq War that presented all kinds of aerial photos of the stored WMDs in Iraq as well as the caves and tunnels they were held in. It was all a Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld lie. All of it. Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld and the rest of the Republicans in Congress had everyone fooled. So "this old retort" is not old and quite valid. — CommonSense in Philly
Anyone catch the Tom Ricks interview on Fox? Classic.— wokmaster- Seemed to speak pretty authoritatively on the confusion that exists in these dogfights. As the facts come out, republicans are realizing they are looking foolish. and Susan Rice is looking smart to americans. rhodes scholar, etc. smart people are taking the country back from the republicans.
- I agree with much of what you said, hw. Republicans and Fox "News" look ridiculous in their attempt to paint this tragedy as a scandal. However, I would personally prefer to see John Kerry as the next Secretary of State - and it has ZERO to do with Benghazi. — wokmaster
- So the woman who told the administration's lies to the American people can now tell its lies to the world? And will the President send her to describe the next attack on American soil as a spontaneous riot over a Youtube video, or a Tweet, or a Facebook post, then claim she has nothing to do with it when someone has the audacity to ask him questions about it?— BlairW
- Bunch- you must be kidding...
Supporting her just because some people you have a doctrinal antipathy towards have pointed out her deficiencies?
If her disgraceful, cowardly refusal to be made a patsy by the desperate, grasping Obama cabal as they sensed an election slipping away isn't enough to cause you to even question her suitability for the job, perhaps you can do a little journalistic due dilligence, and examine her relationship to, and treatment of any number of monstrous human rights violators like Meles Zenawi, or her shameful performance during the Rwandan Genocide in 1994, where none other than Obama advisor Samantha Power asked of Rice-
"At an interagency teleconference in late April, Susan Rice, a rising star on the National Security Council (NSC) who worked under Richard Clarke, stunned a few of the officials present when she asked, “If we use the word ‘genocide’ and are seen as doing nothing, what will be the effect on the November [congressional] election?”"
So come off it, Bunch...
Time to stop expecting people to believe you're on the side of righteousness when you reflexively side with serial failures like Susan Rice in the name of solidarity with Dear Leader Barack.
You dishonor the notion of "Journalism" with such patent hackery.— Darth Bacon - BENGHAZI !!!!!!!!!!!!
That interview was a classic, Wokkie. The rightwing is taking it hard that the reality is that they aren't going to get any traction out of trying to exploit the deaths of Americans for the purpose of political expediency.
It is cute they way they just keep trying, though.
Funny how quite it has been at Attytood recently. I wonder what the reason might be?
