I believe the early strident opposition from Republicans over Susan Rice being reviewed for the position of Secretary of State is simply a matter of philosophy.

Republicans are acting preemptively because they think she would work toward ending the War on Terror, and Republicans don't want that.

Also, continued funding for the War on Terror is closely tied to the deficit ceiling debate and the fiscal standoff.
