Graham, McCain: No Apologies To Susan Rice For Benghazi

[DonViejo]

Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and John McCain (R-AZ) have no intention of apologizing for previous statements that vilified U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on a diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, claiming that emails released by the White House last week still prove she misled the American people as to the nature of the attacks.

Asked by the Huffington Post's Sabrina Siddiqui Tuesday if, given the full emails, he erred in attacking Rice, McCain said, "No, of course not."

"Listen, there was a deputy's meeting the night before where they made the final determination," he added. "Clearly, the White House played a very important role. The White House has denied that they played any role. We know now that they did."

Graham went a step further, however. The South Carolina Republican demanded that Rice apologize to Gregory Hicks, former deputy to killed U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens, who testified before Congress earlier this month as a "whistleblower" and said that his "jaw dropped" when he heard Rice say the attacks were the product of a spontaneous protest.

They don't even pretend to have it. Picking on that woman like that.

6. expecting class would be too much

maybe if Rice were white they might grumble the old "if anybody was offended, we're sorry" non-apology.

15. As If!

McCain, Lindsey Continued Delerium.. As If, anyone who isn't brainwashed Expected these two wannabes to admit they're Scammers, nothing more.

White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said on Sunday that the new emails show “beyond a shadow of the doubt” that Rice was wrongly accused.

Glenn Kessler of washpost is giving Dan Pfeiffer 3 Pinocchios to the administration's claim that Capitol Hill Republicans "doctored" quotes to "smear the president."

'Cause, you know.. Down is Up and Straight is Crooked. Kessler also agreed with Issa that "an act of terror" is not "a terrorist attack"

16. What part of "Putting together the best information that we have available to us today"

do McCain and Graham not understand?

That is what Susan Rice said, which clearly tells me that not everything is known at this point in time, some of the information could be incorrect or updated as more information becomes known, and that it's a fluid situation. She never indicated that the information she was sharing was a verbatim account of what happened, nor did she state that her information had been verified as correct.

The bottom line is, McCain and Graham don't like Democrats. McCain is still pissed off because he lost the 2008 election to President Obama, and neither of them much care for black people, or anyone else who's not just like them.

Fortunately, the number of people just like them are dropping, so their outrage is less relevant to more and more Americans. Time to retire, guys.

17. They are horrible losers and horrible leaders who can't admit when they are wrong.
