(47,992 posts)The CIA is compromised, Benghazi proves that. State Dept. doesn't need to be taking chances with someone with the kinds of long-standing WAR SUPPORTING relationships in the whole region that Rice has.
Please recall when the "attack" on Rice started, how the President said that an extensive investigation of what happened in Benghazi was underway and I believe I remember him or perhaps Hillary also saying that they expected significant developments. Did you hear news of those significant developments? No. Does that mean they didn't happen? No.
I'm also wondering why DU doesn't seem to mind one whit that no one can produce the words of PO saying, TTE, "Susan Rice is a high priority candidate for my list of possible SoS" or "I want Susan Rice for SoS" or even "Susan Rice is on the short list for SoS." PO commented positively on her qualifications and supported her role in whatever happened after Benghazi. That. was. it.
Where did the idea of Susan Rice for SoS come from FIRST? It wasn't PO. I believe it was the media & then McCain jumped on with some reverse psychology.
Please ask yourself why, after all of this time and experience with McCain the flip-flopper, McCain the this and the that. And we're suddenly supposed to be believing every word out of his mouth about how much he doesn't want Rice for SoS???
I hope you'll read this sketch of the intelligence issues surrounding Rice & thanks for reading this message.
