Rice's record as UN ambassador is sad. For example:
Rice has been silent on numerous important issues and ineffective when she does engage. She skipped Security Council meetings when Israel needed defending and even failed to show up for the emergency session on the Gaza Flotilla incident.
Rice didn’t even show up for the first two emergency Security Council meetings on the unfolding Arab Spring revolution last year.
Rice had nothing critical to say when Iran was elected to the U.N. women’s committee. Are you kidding me?
She didn’t complain when Libya was elected to the U.N. Human Rights Council.
She was absent from the Haiti crisis meeting and was a no-show for the last open meeting scheduled before the planned U.N. vote to recognize Palestinian statehood.
And as for the defense that she just repeated the unclassified talking points, that doesn't say much for her independence and judgment. (And it certainly puts the lie to Obama's claim in the second debate that he called the Benghazi attack a terrorist act the day after it occurred. The deleted segment from his CBS "60 Minutes" interview alone proves that he lied about this.)
This is the person you want as Secretary of State???
