Another little temper tantrum from John McCain
UPDATE at 3:05: In his press conference this afternoon, President Obama was quite forceful in his defense of Ambassador Rice:
“Let me say specifically about Susan Rice: She has done exemplary work she has represented the U.S. and our interests in the U.N. with skill and professionalism and toughness and grace. 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? To besmirch her reputation is outrageous.”
—————
This is just stupid.
An increasingly petty and petulant Sen. John McCain has gone off the deep end again, announcing that if U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice is nominated to replace Hillary Clinton as secretary of State, he would attempt to filibuster her nomination.
His reason?
Because Rice, serving as a foreign policy spokesperson for the Obama administration, went on Sunday talk shows shortly after the attacks in Benghazi to say the following, after noting that an investigation was still underway and the details were unclear:
“But our current best assessment, based on the information that we have at present, is that, in fact, what this began as, it was a spontaneous — not a premeditated — response to what had transpired in Cairo. In Cairo, as you know, a few hours earlier, there was a violent protest that was undertaken in reaction to this very offensive video that was disseminated.
We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the embassy to — or to the consulate, rather, to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo. And then as that unfolded, it seems to have been hijacked, let us say, by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons, weapons that as you know in — in the wake of the revolution in Libya are — are quite common and accessible. And it then evolved from there.
We’ll wait to see exactly what the investigation finally confirms, but that’s the best information we have at present.”
That version of events turned out to be incorrect in one relatively small detail. Subsequent investigation has determined that there had not been “a small number of people” protesting outside the consulate before a force of roughly 150 armed men rushed the facility, killing U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. Three other Americans also died in the attacks.
Some conservatives have attempted to read great importance into that incorrect detail. In fact, McCain and others, including Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, wish to declare Rice unqualified to be secretary of State for having made that statement.
It is truly a ridiculous position to take, for two glaringly obvious reasons:
1.) Compare Rice’s statement to the best then-secret intelligence assessment of the CIA at the time she appeared on the Sunday talk shows:
“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. This assessment may change as additional information is collected and analyzed and as currently available information continues to be evaluated.”
Clearly, Rice’s statements on ABC and other stations that weekend accurately reflected the best intelligence available to her and others at the time. Trying to declare her unfit to be secretary of State on that basis is nonsense.
And McCain has every reason to know that it is nonsense, which brings us to …
2.) In 2005, at the start of his second term, President Bush nominated Condoleezza Rice to replace Colin Powell as secretary of State. And Rice, as you may recall, had her own rather extensive history of statements on Sunday talk shows that later turned out to be incorrect, with consequences that were far more profound and costly to this nation than the tragedy at Benghazi. More than 4,000 American men and women were to die in a war founded on those statements.
As Condi Rice told Wolf Blitzer on CNN on Sept. 8, 2002, regarding Saddam Hussein:
“We do know that he is actively pursuing a nuclear weapon. We do know that there have been shipments going into Iran, for instance — into Iraq, for instance, of aluminum tubes that really are only suited to — high-quality aluminum tools that are only really suited for nuclear weapons programs, centrifuge programs. …we don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.”
By 2005, the whole world knew that statement by Rice, along with others by President Bush, Vice President Cheney and others had been false. Saddam had no nuclear program; the aluminum tubes had nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction. Their explanation for those false statements was that they had merely relied on the best intelligence available from the CIA, and can’t be held accountable if those assessments were wrong. (There is considerable evidence that Rice, Bush, Cheney and others in fact cherry-picked the evidence to suit the case they wanted to build, but we’ll set that aside for the moment.)
Despite these false statements by Rice — again, statements with grave national consequences — Senate Democrats in 2005 did not launch a filibuster in an attempt to halt her confirmation. The vote to approve her was 85-13. Among those voting to confirm her were McCain and Graham.
Also voting to confirm Rice were Sen. Joe Biden. And Sen. Hillary Clinton. And yes, Sen. Barack Obama as well.
The parallels between the two cases are uncanny, right down to the gender, race and surname of the main character. But the differences in how the two cases are being handled is more startling still, and all too revealing of just how unhinged and hypocritical many of today’s Republicans have become.
If President Obama believes that Ambassador Rice is the best person to serve this country as secretary of State, he should not hesitate to nominate her. If McCain and others wish to make the case to the American people why Rice is unqualified, they should likewise not hesitate to do so.
But by doing so, they will be drawing more attention to their inadequacies than to those they imagine in Rice.

Jay, of course there will be partisans that will try to bend this to their own ends, but I think most rational and relatively objective observers can see through faux outrage and realize that there are far more people out there that simply want a more thorough investigation (the loudest voices on the conservative side don’t necessarily speak for all cons). I doubt anyone really believes that Sean Hannity “cares” about finding out the truth… Obama could offer a cure for cancer tomorrow and that guy would have a problem with it!

Per Jay’s intro, Rice is a UN Ambassador, and has nothing to do with Benghazi. If this is the case, why was she sent out as the White House spokesperson. Even if Hillary was not available, the state dept. is full of people who could have filled this role. It does not make any sense at all to send someone out who, as Obama said, had nothing to do with Benghazi.

Doesn’t really matter because you need this president to displace your anger and guess what? You have four more years to blame everything in the universe on obama! It’s therapeutic but just remember some truth, the price of gas is dropping like lead, is that obama’s fault too???

Another excellent point. 40%+ did not vote which is more than voted for Obama or Romney. Both sides have to motivate people emotionally to vote. The greatest motivator is fear so they make people believe that the end of the world will occur if the other person is elected. The voter turnout in 1860 was over 80%.

After Boortz issued his challenge, I replied via Twitter
Media Matters scheduled an appearance through Neal Boortz’s producer and the debate was set up for today from 10:05 to 10:20 AM – or so we thought.
After Media Matters followed up to confirm the debate, Neal’s producer emailed explaining the debate time that was previously discussed had been booked, and that no future timeframe was available for the debate to take place – a debate based on a challenge Boortz himself issued.

Bookman, 10:04,
That’s why I carry two supplemental plans over and above Medicare to pay for what Medicare will not. Medicare is not always the prime provider for hospital procedure and many outpatient visits, especially when additional care is required at the visit. If I sought out a different provider for outpatient care after the first of the year, even though I carry additional insurance, there is a good chance that I will be turned down. And for all of those other people who cannot afford supplemental plans, who “depend on the taxpayer” to pay for their medical expenses, more and more of them will be out of luck. At least until Bozo’s single payer kicks in. And that was the original plan anyway, was it not?

Nothing new there. The number of competent physicians accepting Medicare is dwindling, thanks to low reimbursement and slow claims processing. In fact, sooner or later most physicians are likely to go to a concierge system. I pay $375 every three months to MedVIP to belong to my physician’s system. He gets most of that plus the reimbursement from my primary insurer. But at least I can get an appointment when I want one, and there’s never a wait. Physicians are getting fed up with both Medicare and the constant wheedling of insurance companies. Why see 4,000 patients a year to make a living, when you can see a thousand and make even more money?

Orange,
No witch doctors but you have to go to a pain clinic to get the opiates.
We could end that regulation and let general doctors prescribe them.
All my doctors take Medicare.

JamVet,
If your Nebraska boys are so good, why haven’t they had a national championship in the last 15 yrs? That’s an eternity in college football competition. A lot of those years, they weren’t even ranked in the top 25. Tom Osbourne was certainly one of the best coaches that college football has ever seen but he quit in 1997. You are only as good as your last game.

Well, it’s official now, Jay: Secession petitions have been filed on the White House website for ALL 50 states. The United State of America will consist solely of the District of Columbia. (And the whole country seems to be stuck in “STUPID” gear.)

I’ll tell you the same thing I tell these UGA dorks who think that they too are someone. LOL!
Talk to the hand.
Go get five and come back and talk to me.
Until then go sit with the little teams, like Auburn, where you belong!
Toodles, guys, It’s been fun, but I’ve got an early start to a long day tomorrow. (Thank gawd, the Bush Depression is behind us!)
Peace, out…

I agree with McCain…all you people are on here making fun of him. Why don’t you listen to the facts before you start attacking the man. He is trying to protect the American people. He is trying to find out what happened to those four brave men who were slaughtered in Benghazi. The Obama Administration left those men to die, and you people ignore it, like it’s nothing. Rice either aided in promoting a lie, say anything Obama tells her to, or she is as bright as a blown light bulb.

The Republican’s are little kids, sore losers, behaving badly, and care very little about a cohesive America period……They have not a clue about the typical American who cares for others in our country.
Kyle on the other blog wants to still separate, Romney wants to say another that will separate American’s with hate, and McCain, is a child ranting just past his prime.
Republican’s have an agenda that means they judge all, and if you don’t fit, then you are talked about and down at. They don’t care about pollution, only greed. They will say they love America, but talk badly about American’s.
They are hoping for a failure out of Obama, and will work against the American people, no matter who it hurts, just to get their way.
They don’t love America, only their personal beliefs that have become as antiquated as the dinosaur.
They talk about faith……… but by God if America is to survive the Republican’s. we all need to pray for them.

jreb–“trying to turn Obama’s reelection into something it was not. He won just over 50% of the popular vote and 26 states plus DC. Long from a mandate or landslide.”
Prior to the election, all of the republican pollsters who predicted a romney win, said that romney would win over 330 electoral votes in “a landslide”.
President Obama won over 330 electoral votes.
Is it only a “landslide” when a republican wins over 330 electoral votes?

I feel better knowing that the majority of you see him the same as I do…

WHY?
just questions: Who asked her to be the spokesman?
Why did they ask her to say it was the movie?
Why did the CIA not respond to the attack nor to requests for additional security?
I dont care if she is Sec of State or not…but don’t we as AMERICANs deserve some answers for our 4 fellow AMERICANs who died?
