Now that General Petraeus has testified and spoke candidly that Rice only reiterated the unclassified taking points all the joint intelligence agencies provided her to communicate to the public, which she did verbatim. One would assume McCain whom I use to respect (still respect his military service but other than that nothing else), and Graham should now apologize to Rice for dragging her integrity and character through the mud all week. But I wont hold my breath. Not the smoking gun they hoped for - oh well better luck next time . And a little unsolicited advice Mr. McCain - next time instead of ranting on national television regarding timelines and someones incompetence try attending your own meetings where at the same time you were ranting on TV they were actually debriefing congressional leaders providing the information you were seeking. You chalked the missed meeting up to your staffs clerical error ..HMMMM ...does that mean your own staff has risen to the level of incompetence you accuse others of . And if so, since you selected your staff should we not now be questioning your judgement and competence instead of you questioning others?? Semper Fi
Who cares what the regimes mouthpiece said, what really matters is who failed to send help to the Americans who were under attack in that craphole. I think we all know who shirked their duty and it wasn't George Bush.

We need to get out of the middle east and nation build here in America. Let them all kill each other over there. There is no need for us to be there, except to politely negotiate with Arabs to buy their oil.

There is no need for us to be there, except to politely negotiate with Arabs to buy their oil. And exactly when did Bush get us into Libya? Oh, he was negotiating with Kaddaffi for him to destroy his WMD program, help with the WoT, and reopen Libya to US drilling(yes, oil. it isn't a four letter word and it isn't evil). Who turned Libya into a stateless area for the AQ to make strongholds? ...................<crickets />
Bush invaded nation states to spread freedom and democracy. So Libya got it's Democracy. Happy? Quit squealing about Bengazi. You done it to yourself.
Ever notice that the people who credit Obama for everything that went wrong in Benghazi are the very same ones who give him no credit for what went perfectly in Abbottabad?
Rice is not innocent. She either knew or should have know what she was talking about.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Two blocked; Actually; most here have been lavish in "giving credit where credit is due".. They have been very forthright in giving SEAL team 6 much credit for their selfless, and courageous action.. You aren't STILL under the impression that we have some kind of "Ramboma" in the oval office, are you?
