You're not getting away with this mealy-mouth crap. Rice was chosen to lie on the Sunday morning shows because the rest of the kenyan's inner-circle wouldn't touch the assignment.
That seems a bit presumptuous.
Her work at the UN was a joke and the only reason she's around is because Moochelle likes her. Putting her in the NSA job is to enable them to claim "executive privelege" when Congress wants her to explain her lying.....no confirmation hearing required....the wall of stones grows higher.
She's highly qualified for the position, she was the foreign affairs adviser for our current Secretary of State during his campaign, she has worked with the UN, she was a former assistant Secretary with the State Department, and she maintains close ties to international affairs groups such as her fellowship with the Brookings Institute, and her connections to CFR. That's a pretty impressive resume that is all relevant to the security adviser position.
I've worked with government talking points before and yes, that's the way it works. When drafting them you have access only to pre-approved unclassified material, as a member of the federal government she is not authorized to leak classified information and must take her talking points from what material is given to her.
I'm also not sure why you are talking about the CIA standing down, I don't see what that has to do with Susan Rice, she isn't in charge of ordering them around.
Dodge on Rice preventing the attack....not worth another keystroke.
How was she supposed to prevent the attack. Do tell.
A "side note" that's another goddamn lie.....Ansar al-Sharia is indeed an al-Qaida "affiliate" who took money and weapons from AQ to enable the attack. You might be able to pull your weak little word games off elsewhere but not here.
No they aren't. They have not declared themselves in support of Al Qaeda, nor would they be likely to do so, they are a loose collection of regional militias and aren't even that solid of an entity. They received money from an actual Al Qaeda affiliate AQIM who contracted the job out to them to attack us. That doesn't make them Al Qaeda, the individuals who were there from Yemen were Al Qaeda.
We tend to have a labeling problem here in the US where we lump all Muslims / Islamists / groups together and it is a really poor practice when it comes to actually understanding what is going on in the world.
