Obama Calls McCain’s Attacks On Susan Rice ‘Outrageous’
OBAMA: But let me say specifically about Susan Rice. She has done exemplarary work. She has represented the United States and our interests in the United Nations with skill and professionalism and toughness and grace. As I’ve said before, she made an appearance at the request of the White House in which her best understanding of the intelligence that had been provided to her.
If Senator McCain and Senator Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me. And I’m happy to have that discussion with them. But for them to go after the U.N. Ambassador? Who had nothing to do with Benghazi? And was simply making a presentation based on intelligence that she had received? And to besmirch her reputation, is outrageous. … When they go after the U.N. ambassador, apparently because they think she’s an easy target, then they’ve got a problem with me. And should I choose, if I think that she would be the best person to serve America in the capacity of the State Department, then I will nominate her. That’s not a determination that I’ve made yet.

LOL Lindsay Graham did a little ass kicking of his own.

I think you failed as Commander in Chief before, during, and after the attack," said Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican.

Moonie's Washington Times!
Repugs ing around, in 100% bad faith, how about working on the bogus fiscal cliff, or jobs, or economic stimulus?
John McCain Supported Condi Rice After Massive Intelligence Failure
McCAIN: Condoleezza Rice is a great American success story. This is what America is all about. A young woman who grew up in a segregated part of America where Americans were not treated equally, to rise to the position of secretary of state. We should have been celebrating, I believe, this remarkable American success story.
Also, I thought that some of the remarks — and I’m not going to mention my colleagues’ names — some of the remarks aimed at her during the hearings challenged her integrity. We can disagree on policy and we disagree on a lot of things, but I think it is very clear that Condoleezza Rice is a person of integrity. And yes, I see this, some lingering bitterness over a very tough campaign. I hope it dissipates soon.

Who's got the back of the innocent women and kids he's murdering in other countries?
Graham is such a pussy.
lol Lindsay
you had no problem with dubya lying his way in to Iraq and starting the GWOT, so why so concerned now?
lol thinkprogressMoonie's Washington Times!
Oh really?
Do some research on me. I called for Dubyas arrest as much as I call for Barry's. Where has your hate gone for Bush war mongering that Obama has doubled?
Obama bombs 6 countries in less than four years, Bush bombed 4 in his whole eight years.
I call it like it is. the neo cons, and the Dems for selling out and becoming the party of war.
And I guess you missed one of my last threads.. http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=205443
the Imperial MIC/NatSec/FBI are bi-partisan, a-partisan. They run on their own logic, imperative, objectives, and nobody in Exec or Legis will hold them back.
the republican party is washed up.
they're nothing but a bunch of old white men with dementia thinking they're still in the 50's.
i'm happy obama put mccain's old ass in his rocker chair and opened up a can of infimil for him.
when bush was in office, there were no worries.
now that barry won, again, they wanna secede and blame him for every little thing.
in hyprocrites.
I enjoy seeing good old lindsay coming unraveled. he will lose this one and look really bad in the process.
Politically convenient grandstanding all around.
Yawn.
They said the same thing back in the 60's and as soon as they hit 50 years of age and were financially successful they changed from democrats to republicans just like most here will too.
I can see Obama is taking the working with republicans promise seriously. God bless
Yep.
Gets her to lie her ass off about the Libya incident to the UN.
Maker her the perfect candidate to the Secretary of State office.
She lied ..lol..“Talking points” prepared by the CIA on Sept. 15, the same day that Rice taped three television appearances, support her description of the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate as a reaction to Arab anger about an anti-Muslim video prepared in the United States. According to the CIA account, “The currently available information suggests that the demonstrations in Benghazi were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and evolved into a direct assault against the U.S. Consulate and subsequently its annex. There are indications that extremists participated in the violent demonstrations.”
The CIA do ent went on: “This assessment may change as additional information is collected and analyzed and as currently available information continues to be evaluated.” This may sound like self-protective boilerplate, but it reflects the analysts’ genuine problem interpreting fragments of intercepted conversation, video surveillance and source reports.
condi rice is better qualified for the SOS job then any other potential candidate imho. she did the job fine under bush's administration n she's never married, which together with her oversized brain are two quintessences of her intelligence. donkey face would be a decent SOS too but doubt it'll ever happen considering the pussyfication trend of this occupation in recent years, which hasn't been occupied by a male since powell stepped down imho
It was OK for dubya and head to rely on CIA "intelligence" to invade Iraq for oil, but Susan Rice is trashed for relaying CIA information about Benghazi?
The President's position here is clear. Come after me, but don't ask me any specific questions because it is still under investigation and will be so for the next 4 years. The news conference yesterday was a waste of time. I thought for a second they might ask him what current music he is listening to on his Ipod.
"it is still under investigation and will be so for the next 4 years"
all in info is out.
it's THE REPUGS alone who will drag it on for years, thinking they can destroy Barry with a Watergate investigation. Repugs are 100% pure assholes. They'd rather distract and obstruct and slander than do the real work of Congress.
at stupid people that think she was briefed by the CIA. She got sent out by the white House that Sunday morning to be the mouthpiece of their talking points. At best she got played. At worst she was complicit.
So, in your telling, she was a good soldier, like Colon Powell, and followed orders to lie?
don't bother..they sucked Bush's when he gave us the bio moblie weapons labs..etc...
we had rummy tell us we knew exactly where the wmds were.... yet the WC's of the world are outraged over bad intel now..
the CIA provided talking points.. it is established that they did... so I guess she should have known the statements were false.. how is she implicit?
