John McCain, Bengahzi is a hill worth dying for ..... "Rice admitted she was wrong" [View all]

McCain: Rice admitted she was wrong on Bengahzi

U.N. ambassador Susan Rice told senators she was wrong when she attributed the Benghazi attack to a spontaneous protest that was a reaction to an anti-Islam video on television on Sept. 16, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) told The Cable.

Rice, however, immediately contradicted McCain's readout of the meeting and said that the intelligence community was wrong on one detail of the day's events: the notion that there was a protest outside the U.S. mission in Benghazi.

.
Rice met with McCain, Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) in the Capitol this morning along with acting CIA Director Mike Morrell. McCain, in a short interview following the meeting, said that he was troubled by several of her answers. He also said that Rice clearly stated she was wrong when she made her original statements on the attack, and McCain called on Rice to repeat that admission publicly.

McCain said he was unhappy with several of Rice's answers on how the State Department handled the issue before, during, and after the attack.

*************

Oh for the love of Dog John ...... Ms. Rice gave the exact same talking points that she was given by the CIA and
the CIA did not give all the information to her and congress because they had agents, assets, and programs they
did not want to expose and she was working at the UN at the time of the attack too. Ever since Rep. Issa blabbed
about our some of our SECRET ACTIONS in Libya the CIA has had damn good reason not to give out too much
information.

I am now convinced that the repugs want to try to impeach or hamstring Obama over Bengahzi.
