Maureen Dowd "Is Rice Cooked?"

[chance1]

Maureen Down, uber liberal columnist for the NYT, takes Susan Rice to task for her "performance" on the Benghazi terror attack

Maureen penned a piece this past weekend, destroying both Rices - Condi and Susan, for putting their ambitions ahead of their souls. In Dowd's opinion, Susan Rice wanted so desperately to be a player and be the next Secretary of State so she raised her hand to be the Admin. mouthpiece after the Benghazi terror attack.

And Susan Rice had a great "performance" in acting out her talking points. Except the problem is she knew they were false. And this wasn't a movie or a play - it's the NEWS.

David Petraeus testified basically what we all knew all along - that the day it happened - everyone knew what it was - an Al Qaeda attack NOT a spontaneous reaction by demonstrators to a video

Susan performed her best lie - and pushed the spontaneous demonstration thingy and in front of the camera disputed the contention of the President of Libya's Gen. Nation Congress - even though she knew he was right. Dowd says Rice should've been smarter about. And finally she tweaks Obama for saying "she had nothing to do with this" - if so, why make her the point person?? And Dowd says the damsel in distress play was lame.

...You're using David Petreaus' testimony as support to the Republican hatchet job that was debunked by David Petreaus' testimony. Unbelievable.

[JayHawk]

There are only a few on the right still clinging to this nonsense approach... their numbers are dwindling but the faithful are getting louder ... mostly 'casue it stings so bad to be wrong.

as usual any question of the president is a hatchet job ..... or racism ...... or hate

that's just dumb

what's even dumber is the blind defense of one smelly sitch

which this is on so many levels

so many lies
so much incompetence
so many things done wrong

and the continued bullshit

but back to topic

maureen dowd has called out susan rice for being an opportunistic political animal who desperately wanted in the inner circle

and while knowing the truth perpetuated an untruth

to get ahead

don't think she will now

but don't take my word for it

listen to maureen dowd who compared to the 85 here is a moderate

[nycguydowntown]

"lies--incompetence---and things done wrong" that was 8 years of retard Bush and Cheney---maybe you don't remember those marvelous years---an embassy in a foreign country filled with terrorists was attacked and 4 people murdered not too good but,---back then the homeland was attacked and 3 thousand plus people were murdered and the national security adviser was given a job promotion, the good old days---anyway a newly re-elected Pres will be chased down by stupidity for the next 4 years over everything and nothing just like Clinton was---and that worked real well for them---as Clinton is the most popular guy in America and in the world now and after 4 years of attacks, Obama will be the second most popular guy in AMerica and the world. Guaranteed.

^ might be better to read the piece

That is the basis for the thread

The minimum requirement actually

[maxpowr9]

I think the problem with Rice is that she wants to be Sec of State so badly but she lacks the forthrightness for the position. Obama will have to two-step his way around said appointment. I'd focus on the "suicide pact" first and then deal with Cabinet appointment. If Obama goes hardball with GOP on cuts and taxes, expect Rice to get shot down as a retaliation.

[JayHawk]

I think on one hand Rice is a piece of bait. I don't think in the end Obama intends to put her up for State. But it is drawing out the foaming at the mouth republicans and then the final investigation will embarrass them... stand by for more information....

[rareboy]

I don't get this obsession with Susan Rice.

[Jack Springer]

I don't get the obsession to continually blame someone else in this thread instead of talking about Rice and her testimony.

Rice is scorched.

[MisterB]

It was reported this morning on Washingtonn DC's all-news WTOP (CBS news feeds it) that Ms. Rice did not misspeak; she was given talking points that were scrubbed by the CIA/FBI and other high-level intelligence officials of any reference to AlQueda and terrorist involvement.

This reporter closed the report by stating that neither the State Department nor the White House were privy to the remarks and the subsequent massaging thereafter.

Thought some facts were in order here.....

Let's not let the truth get in the way of a good "scandal".

Facts ?

The facts are that it was widely known what happened
See Petraeus testimony
See Obama Rose Garden statement - debate fib
See all intel reports
Slam dunk Al Qaeda terror
Is Rice stupid ?

Is that your testimony ?

As for Rareboy's childish outburst

Yeesh

[rareboy]

Oh.

And Jack.

Let's not forget:

Rice is toasted.

Rice is thrown.

[MisterB]

Yes ma'am; facts. Like those that were presented TODAY by the mainstream media. Facts. Truth. Wouldn't that be interesting to consider the facts.

But then, facts can get in the way of a good story, eh?

Missed your link to the "facts"

Feel free

Since reading for comprehension seems to be lacking here; allow me to quote myself from mypost #14 above: It was reported this morning on Washingtonn DC's all-news WTOP (CBS news feeds it) that Ms. Rice did not misspeak; she was given talking points that were scrubbed by the CIA/FBI and other high-level intelligence officials of any reference to AlQueda and terrorist involvement.

This reporter closed the report by stating that neither the State Department nor the White House were privy to the remarks and the subsequent massaging thereafter.

I heard this report on the car radio; WTOP--all news, all the time radio. It was during the 9am CBS news segment. That's the facts.

Now it's your turn; where are your links to all YOUR facts in all your posts across this fine forum versus THE actual facts?

[rareboy]

^ Well Breitbarf and Limbarf said it so it must be true.....

You are doing just fine. Some posters have a problem with coming up with reliable links to prove their remarks. They think they'r are the top shit!
Keep going on with what you are doing.
