Will the Republicans continue to obstruct, or will they actually work with the president this time around?

I generally think the Washington Post and FOX News are the same source

Errr, woops, that was the Washington Times.

Wait a minute, you mean someone NOT a Republican is revealing the truth about Susan Rice? This thread made it seem like a witch hunt because R's won't work with the administration

I'm sorry, but it is a witch hunt.

Let's review some of the facts. First, none of us were in the room with Petraeus when he testified. Out of that you had republicans saying he knew it was a terrorist attack, and you have democrats coming out and saying there were conflicting reports. Then Petraeus says that his talking points said it was a terrorist attack. But then those talking points go and get further reviewed by about 10 other intelligence agencies, and then they are given to the white house and then the white house creates unclassified talking points from them.

This is where it gets really "terrible" though. The white house has susan rice go on the news with these unclassified talking points and she shares them. That's it.

No one takes us into a war over these, or orders a covert mission, or anything else. The big terrible thing that susan rice did was read unclassified talking points that she had no reason to suspect were not correct on the news. She didn't ask for the UN to destroy Egypt, she didn't ask for the US to go to war, and she damn sure didn't do anything that put any other Americans in harms way.

This whole thing is ridiculous. The outrage is that for approximately five days, the White House didn't accurately share all of their intelligence with the American people. Holy ****! They must be the first administration to ever do that!

Its not like Susan Rice went to the UN with this bad information and said we needed a whole bunch of countries to attack another country. And then when the UN basically said to her that they didn't think the intelligence was strong enough, its not like Obama went ahead and went to war with Egypt where thousands of Americans were put in harms way. No, its nothing like that.

Susan Rice being blocked for SoS is simple.

1) She is a terrible diplomat. Giving the bird to Richard Holbroke in a meeting is the last thing I want in our SoS

2) Nobody likes her. If she is going to be our lead diplomat, being likeable is actually a key part of the job. Basically her people skills suck.

McCain loves Huma Abedin, Hillary's Chief of staff and made a brilliant and passionate defense of her when Michele Bachman went after her back in January.

Susan Rice simply has no allies on the Hill and its her doing.

Clearly you failed to read the conservative hack, Dana Milbank's, article

You want that type of person to be the lead diplomat?

So, it has nothing to do with Benghazi? And Benghazi is a witch hunt?

[Thiebear]

Benghazi is a debacle, not a witch hunt.
People died and others saved them
She came out saying the opposite of the videos
That we're available in the first 17 minutes.

How about we get it sorted before we promote her.
The rest of her resume and finger says we should
Discuss it also

It may in fact be a witch hunt of sorts but how about her resume to date? It's far from stellar.

Why is it her fault though? I don't get how anything goes to her.

If she had gone to the UN and said we need to go to war over this, then you'd have a point. But she went on TV and read unclassified talking points, meaning she basically said nothing. Give it a rest.

It may in fact be a witch hunt of sorts but how about her resume to date? It's far from stellar.

I don't know, but I understand the rest of her resume is pretty impressive. Its not less impressive than Condoleeza Rice's resume, that's for sure.

And that's fine. Let's have a discussion. Nobody has even nominated her for a promotion at this point. Yet you have Republican asshats like McCain vowing to do everything in their power to block her from getting the job. Once again the Republicans do not wish to discuss, only to obstruct.

This makes sense. The Republicans are like the boy who cried wolf. I won't believe anything they say if it depends on their subjective evaluations, and I don't blame anyone for instinctively thinking whatever they say is pure bull crap.
