Condi Rice Pours Cold Water On ‘Benghazi-Gate’

[appleannie1]

Host Greta Van Susteren asked Rice directly and repeatedly about a set of emails uncovered by Reuters. In what has been dubbed “Benghazi-Gate,” the conservative media has jumped on the emails as definitive proof that the Obama administration has been lying about what it knew and when in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attack on a diplomatic mission in Benghazi. Rice’s response was likely not what Van Susteren expected.

1. Where was the "adult" in Condi "nobody could have foreseen" Rice after the real 9/11?

2. she is no longer pimping for Dubya

alas for her, like Sandra Day O'Connor and Colin Powell, she'll never be able to wash the stench off

7. I don't know about O'Oconnor. Ran into her on the street in DC as she was exiting her psychiatrist

some years ago. At least she had a superego that was troubled.

Powell, likewise, seems to have worked a bit to redeem his reputation. He gets points for calling Dick Cheney a "Motherfucker" in the Situation Room (at least he did on film).

Condi was never really anything but a flack and a yes-man. Like W, she probably has no trouble falling asleep.

9. they are still working on the rose scented revisionist history

3. Condoleeza Rice is evah the pragmatist. I think she well knows who will probably win...

...the upcoming Presidential election and well knows that it is NOT in her best interest to shit on the incumbent President nor his Secretary of State, whom many believe - myself included - may be potentially the first female President of the United States.

And I believe Rice would like to change her historical legacy, from Bush* water bearer and war criminal to diplomat emeritus and historian.

Personally, I'd like to see Rice stand trial for war crimes at The Hague with the rest of the cheney*/bush* Neoconjob war criminals and spend the rest of her life behind bars where I believe she belongs.

4. 3...2...1...

5. I hoped that this was an inmate intertview.

6. Does Sunnunu thinks this statement is motivated by race too?

8. She's not doing a good job with it

Apparently now the CIA "operators" asked for help months ago and President Obama said no. This from a CIA "operator" on Rush's show today who knows the "real" scoop.

BTW, when I see the RWNJs (right-wing nutjobs) tweeting about CIA "operators" I immediately think of this.
