These people will do aything to protect the Kenyan Clown Leader. I wonder if KCL really believes any of his own press or is he just a well trained monkey?

This Rice is a really dumb post isn't she?



U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice told Republican senators that her televised statements last month on the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi were based entirely on information she was given by the intelligence community.

"In my Sept. 16 Sunday show appearances, I was asked to provide the administration's latest understanding of what happened in Benghazi," Rice wrote in a Thursday letter to Sens. John McCain (R-AZ), Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), and Lindsey Graham (R-SC). "In answering, I relied solely and squarely on the information the intelligence community provided to me and other senior U.S. officials, including through the daily intelligence briefings that present the latest reporting and analysis to policy makers. This information represented the intelligence community's best, current assessment as of the date of my television appearances, and I went out of my way to ensure it was consistent with the information that was being given to Congress."

Rice was responding to a Sept. 26 letter from the GOP senators in which they accused Rice of jumping the gun and disseminating false information about the attack. The letter quotes Rice's comments selectively, leaving out the context where she cautioned that the information was based on initial assessments. Rice emphasized in her response that she had caveated her remarks in her TV appearances.

She also pointed to a Sept. 28 statement from Shawn Turner, spokesman for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, admitting that the intelligence community had changed its view of the attack

Of course Clapper is the perfect fall guy, this moron could not find his ass with his own hands.

And why exactly were they sending the UN ambassador out as spokesperson for the administration, as opposed to some state department undersecretary? Was it exactly because she could blame any misinformation she spread on being "misinformed"?  It couldn't have been anymore obvious if they had sent the Secretary of Education out to all the talk shows. 

The fingers are staring to get crossed up and getting pointed at each other. They will start to eat their own. Let the show begin.
