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.

Obama WON this election with a greater mandate than Bush II did in 2004. Bush II said he planned on using his “Political Capital” to advance his agenda, which was to privatize SSI. That did not work out so well did it?
You Bubble People cannot seem to grasp the FACTS. Obama won handily, and not just because Bill O’Reilly said the word “takers”. You lost because your message is wrong and was rejected by women, Latinos, African Americans and a whole lot of young people. The attempt to suppress the minority vote with voter ID laws and decreased polling hours in certain districts backfired big time. It made voters stand in lines for marathons of 7-8 hours to be heard. Florida and Ohio’s GOP run elections were not able to keep people from voting. The Bubble you love to live in was popped, and now it is time to realize the truth, your ideas are irrelevant as are most of your “Candidates” like Bachman, Santorium, and the rest of the religious wack jobs running for office by the GOP.
However, PLEASE keep “doubling down” on antiquated platforms, keep trying to get your binders full of woman home by dinner time, keep trying to stick ultrasound probes up women wanting to have a legal abortion, keep thinking that Reagan’s trickle from 1980 will eventually run down hill…………. because it will guarantee that you will continue to lose elections. And eventually enough old and middle aged angry white guys will die off, THAT is when you may be relevant again.

We have nearly 300 embassies scattered around the planet in places most Americans can not locate on a globe. None of them are protected well enough to withstand an attack by 150 well armed attackers. We trust the host country to do the heavy lifting when it comes to security.
Should we have anticipated that the situation in Libya was unstable? In retrospect, Duh. Clearly we should expect the Benghazi tragedy to be thoroughly investigated so that we can prevent future incidents of a similar nature from occurring. That said, this is clearly being used as a political football by one party in the effort to embarrass the other one. Our kids may not be able to locate Benghazi on a map, but they’re smart enough to recognize bullsh*t when they see it.

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
Which “facts”? You mean the “fact” that this Administration somehow concocted out of whole cloth a story about spontaneous demonstrations being the cover for this attack? That “fact” that the right wing has been spreading for months, now?
Absolutely none of the right wing regulars here have been able to answer a direct question I’ve posed to them repeatedly here–WHY would the Administration deliberately lie about that particular event? What benefit would they yield?
Other than some incomprehensible crap about how it somehow made people confused about which city the Ambassador happened to be in (???), I’ve heard absolutely nothing in response.
That’s why we attack McCain and his ilk. They’ve hopped on a lunatic conspiracy bandwagon. And I’m glad that our President has repeatedly come out swinging and indicated he’s not going to put up with any more of your bullsh-t.

…and by the way, I do so love the incredibly belated concern some on the right have expressed about the Ambassador’s peril on 9/11, asking why he was in Benghazi instead of a fortified, hardened embassy in Tripoli. This was something that anyone with even a smidgeon of intelligence had already asked, already discussed, almost immediately after the attack. It goes to the man’s motivations, mostly, but also of course procedures, and nobody is suggesting that such things shouldn’t be investigated and reviewed.

Of course the lib Jay picks and chooses what Susan Rice actually said. Here is her quote 5 days later: (You know blaming it on that video created by an American citizen)
“But based on the best information we have to date, what our assessment is as of the present is in fact what began spontaneously in Benghazi as a reaction to what had transpired some hours earlier in Cairo where, of course, as you know, there was a violent protest outside of our embassy – sparked by this hateful video. But soon after that spontaneous protest began outside of our consulate in Benghazi, we believe that it looks like extremist elements, individuals, joined in that effort with heavy weapons of the sort that are, unfortunately, readily now available in Libya post-revolution. And that it spun from there into something much, much more violent”

That said, how is the fact that Susan Rice appeared on several different outlets reporting on what she knew at the time especially relevant to this discussion?
I’ve asked repeatedly what benefit this Administration would have to deliberately lie about the circumstances surrounding the Benghazi attack, when the “lie” was one that fed many right-wingers worst fears about Muslims’ supposed propensity toward spontaneous violence.

The right lives in a bubble. They are starting to eat their own. The gun ho jumps over lines of authority to investigate Army generals and leave their mess for the world to see. A pretty girl needs a hero, an FBI agent in another area is more than happy to be her knight, and I wonder if he had the authority to bleed this to a sitting member of congress. The wrong doing that started this investigation never had legs and the actual offense was not a crime.
Now we go to the next GOP conspiracy of a cover up in the Rice case which denies the country of one more talented individual because of a paranoid right. Seems after the right kept reading the tea leave incorrectly in the last election, hard proof showed the poll conspiracy was an opium dream that they would cool the enthusiasm for chasing their tails. We went to war with this fiction machine and we had our credit rating lowered and have left this country in a longer recession because the individual unfounded conspiracy has trumped the practicality.

Painting Ambassador Rice as a victim is total BS. And Obama’s transparent attempt to act like the gallant saviour of his embattled ambassador is pure theatrics. Yet you fall for it. Whatta maroon you are.
If Rice knew nothing about what really happened with Benghazi, why in the world was she making the rounds on every Sunday show spreading her ignorance? And at whose direction was she speaking?
And Obama, in true Obama fashion, trots out the “under investigation” line to his complicit lapdog press. A press corps it seems, who has completely shunned the journalistic technique known as the followup question.

If we dismiss the attack as an outreach of some silly protest, it minimizes the seriousness of the attack and the presidents actions, or lack of response, seems justified. If you acknowledge it was an attack on America and our president either went back to bed, or continued on with his fund raising plans, depending on which timeline/version of the truth you accept, his response as commander in chief wasreprehensible. So Rice being a talking head to protect the president from criticism is a good reason to declare her unfit. As Hillary said, “who do you want taking that call at 3 in the morning?”

John McCain is an embrassment to all of us as veterans. He want’s to be the President so bad that he make things toward President Obama in a negative way. McCain forgets that he supported Condanisa (wrong spelling) Rice when she made several false statements about weapons of massive destructions over and over again; he supported her as secretary of state, thinking that we would forget. He has a problem with those appointed over him…and when he lost as President, he still feel sick and can’t get over it. President Obama issues him and other a challenge let’s see if McCain will take it. Susan Rice did the right thing, she got what she was given and said what was best. McCain needs to resigned and take all of his personal feelings with him. He will never be President, he don’t have the professionalism and when he elected to put down the President and the Commander-In-Chief as a veteran, we feel his service to this nation as a Congressmen is not needed any longer and he needs to go back to AZ and make things there a little better for the people who elected him. He has a personal problem he needs to deal with and we the American people will wait until all of the facts are known. He is the one who is blowing all of he smoke!

Escaped from Email Purgatory is the typical jock sniffer that sets these costumed soldiers and cowboys on the throne or the stage for this kind of fall from a grace that never existed in the first place. McCain lost the election to Obama mainly because there was a huge amount of daylight between reality and his world of filtered insanity. His introduction to polite society of his VP running mate is part and parcel of his disconcerting judgment.
Right wing America vest a lot of capital into heroes, self made John Wynne, Rambo characters that only exist in fiction. They worship idols and then suffer confused logic when the “man made” fails them. They found great indignation in Obama’s comment that the mass of our nation assisted these self made men to their accomplishments, no man is an island, yet they prove O right over and over as their idols crumble yet the country stays strong.
When O showed tears at the thanking of his volunteers in the election after the lights were off, and there was no alternative motives is how I picture a great leader. He doesn’t lie or bully or show paranoia or envy, he leads as a human being not an over the top adult playing a part he saw in a movie.

John McCain is demanding answers on the Benghazi attack, but yet you missed a classified briefing on the subject because of a “scheduling error.” While he was holding a press conference, the briefing for the Homeland Security Committee was happening in another part of the Capitol building. McCain needs to do his job. It is appalling that he would use his time and our money to pay him to influence and to play politics instead of getting answers to the questions he claims to want. McCain needs to get to work and get the economy fixed. I would prefer to have Meghan McCain representing us in Congress. She is more in touch with the people and has better judgment in regards to the economy.

I don’t care what your political philosophy is four brave men died needlessly! I can’t believe that so many people think the administration was being straight with the people of the USA. Woods didn’t “light up” that target so he can get killed? He and his partner followed military procedure trying to not leave anyone behind. It seems that Pres. Obama and his administration forgot this minor procedure; and left four people behind to die. Pres. Carter might not have been the best president we have ever had, but he tried his damnedest to get the hostages out of Iran.
