Two words. Pluasible deniability. All administrations provide cover for those in office. All presidents have it, and have had it over the years. Nothing new. Why do you think they sent out a flunky like Rice to spin the tale? She's easily disposable if it comes to that. Definitionlausible deniability is a term coined by the CIA during the Kennedy administration to describe the withholding of information from senior officials in order to protect them from repercussions in the event that illegal or unpopular activities by the CIA became public knowledge.
Like I said, disposable. Rice is out. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.co...hdraws-from-secretary-of-state-consideration/
now watch the leftys will blame the GOP. (if you think she was not being dishonest with us then she is too dumb for the job.) Yet I am sure they will someday applaud Hillary for bypassing that situation.
Hmm, I wonder how that works. Did Obama ask Rice to submit a withdrawal letter? Certainly he would have discussed it with her and probably just told her flat out that he could not nominate her. Its pretty clear that the regime knew this attack had *nothing* to do with a youtube video and was a commemorative attack relating to the 9/11 attacks. I still do not understand why so much effort would be put into lying about that. What possible benefit could the regime get from covering for terrorists?
While I don't care for the current crop of republican D.C. whores, as a whole, occasionally even a whore does something right. After all, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. I congratulate the republican D.C. whores for keeping the pressure on Susan Rice and forcing her to withdraw for consideration for Sec. of State. Perhaps these whores can learn something from their persistent position in this matter. But, I doubt it. P.S.---We need a consumption tax for so many reasons.
An opportunity to sympathize with muslim radicals and wring your hands over freedom of speech here in the USA while placating them(the terrorists). Note there has been NO follow through in identifying much less pursuing the guilty parties both foreign and domestic.
So, Rice gets the National Security Advisor position that doesn't need congressional approval and John Kerry will be nominated for Secretary of State. <img src=http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQE8pg3RlJQohq2uThJ0EI-4uqJCMQrFBj1shLA2l4IOeeb90_Qf379o6Ee>
No doubt she will be rewarded in some way for being a loyal soldier. Her ability and willingness to lie to the masses is a useful tool and should open many a government door. The bad news is Hanoi John will likely get the nod. A leftist loon, disgrace to the uniform is not what we need in that position. He is a perfect fit for the Obama administration's new age foreign policy. You know, the one where we surrender everything to everybody.
Kinda like GWBush saying that Bin Laden is not any priority of his? Come on PT, you're better than this.
