    I wouldn't disagree with your assessment and your assessment where you say "Even today, we still don't know exactly what happened" is what this is all about. If she didn't lie or was just ill informed it will come out in the wash and she will either be exonerated or wind up being a footnote probably ending her career as she now knows it.

    The Navy SEALs have a beef with Hussein. I notice he ain't calling them out.

    She has already been exonerated. Her statements match almost word for word the Talking Points that the CIA gave Congress.

    This whole focus on Mrs. Rice is silly.

    As more details begin to come to light, it's starting to seem like the CIA, not Ambassador Stevens, was the target of the attack...

    Btw

    Have we found those WMDs yet? What about the thousands killed over Bush's lies?
    Same ones that Bill Clinton, gore, boxer, Halfbright, Powell, Dashle, Gephardt etal said existed?

    If Obama wants immigration reform he absolutely needs Graham and McCain so getting into verbal fisticuffs with these two or actually nominating Rice is not ultimately going to help his agenda.

    Good, gridlock seal the pos legacy.

    OK, lets say she got faulty intell from the experts.

    Here's the problem:

    If you are tell the world a story and the people you are telling, are making you look foolish as you make the official statements, then surely you should consider saying you will check with your intell community to make sure that you are putting out correct information.

    Did you recant her bogus party line one day later, two days later, one week later?
    Lmao, Who cares.

    Meet the new and improved, confident, Pres. Barack Obama. He's gonna push and he's gonna push hard with some of the brightest minds in the world advising him. I'm betting 10:1 that he doesn't take any guff from the obstructionists and contrarians he's had to deal with and coddle they way he did earlier.

    I believe he is thoroughly convinced this time that he Is The President !!!

    Go BarackO Yeah !!!!!!!!!

    I wonder if Donald still wants to see his BC ?

    You want a piece of that 10:1 bet ?

    Gridlock comes when a leader of a party says..."our number one goal is to make Barack Obama a one term president". That failed and failed miserably. No more Mr. Nice Guy. Obama will use all the powers of his office this time to get moving forward in the right direction.

    All politicians are not full of shlt. I truly believe that and I believe Barack Obama is like that. I believe G H.W. Bush, Clinton, Ford and Johnson were like that.

    In your world it's 'them vs. us', always the conflict, always the division, always the conspiracy, until you wake up every morning looking for the 'boogie man' and when he's not there you create him.

    One does need a degree in psychology to recognize these things. Years of observation can also bear it out.

    You do know you're one of my favorites right ?

    I saw McCain on CNN. He us just INSANE. Condi Rice deliberately gave Americans false information on Iraq's WMD's. That false information helped lead this country into an unecessary war in which 1.5 million Iraqi civilians and over 4,000 American troops were killed. Not only was Condi confirmed as Secretary of State after giving America that false information. John McCain supported her nomination. When told peopel were saying he was using a double standard. He said, Well they can say that but the fact is 4 Americans were killed. Condi's disinformation body count was over 4,000 American. Ambassador Rice's misinformation body count is 0. That's because her mistayements were after their deaths so they could not have contributed to the deaths in any way. So they swhoudl put Condi Rice in jail to serve over 4,000 life terms and pin a freakin' medal on Ambassador Rice.

    They are still whining about the movie comments and Obama not correcting that fast enough to suite them. Nevermind the fact that 6 months after our own weapons inspectors certified that Iraq had no WMD's. Vice President Dick Cheney was still saying that we had found WMD's in Iraq. Was that a cover up the Bush Administrations War Crimes?

    These morons think America has forgotten about the original 9/11, Iraq and all the foul scummy sometimes criminal crap the Republicans did during that time. The way they are handling Benghazi they've ripped the scab off and are digging at that old wound. I would LMAO if the results of their Benghazi witch hunt was America demanding Bush & Cheney's arrest AGAIN.

    That's exactly what I thought.

    One of the criticism of Obama, from some of his own supporters, was his lack of a backbone and inability to fight back.

    I don't think that's going to be a problem going forward.

    Until Mc Cain admits to the Nation that Condi Rice's misleading statements about Iraq's WMD's betrayed America to war and directly contributed to the death of over 4,000 Americans in Iraq. I don't want to hear another word from him. He lacks all credibility.
