In reply to the discussion: New blow for Rice: Moderate senator voices concern [View all]DallasNE
(7,997 posts)Embassy security in Nairobi prior to the truck bombing at that facility some 15+ years ago. So, why doesn't Sen. Collins simply read that report. And where was her concern over the August 6, 2001 PDB headlined "bin Laden determined to attack inside the US". That is some screwed up priorities, if you ask me.
Also note that none of these Senators ever bother to specify the particulars of their concerns. They have had extensive discussions with Amb. Rice so the time to raise the concerns is in those question and answer sessions. Additionally, since all testimony is to the effect that standard protocol was followed it is hard to understand what those grave concerns could be. If there is anybody not leveling with the American people it is the critics of Amb. Rice as it is obvious that another issue is driving this faux concern and reminds me of the tactics used by Sen. Joseph McCarthy some 60 years ago.
