Quote: The_Nevadan wrote in post #5It was her throwing the CIA under the bus that cost her the SoS job. Scuttlebutt is the CIA was shovelling loads of stuff on her to the Senator's aides.
Tonight I watched her intervidew on NBC Brian Williams followed by Andrea Mitchell commentary. They didn't hold her feet to the fire at all. Rice continued the lie that she was working from the CIA talking points when we all know from David Petraeus' testimony that the CIA talking points said ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about any Muslim protest in Benghazi and were modified within the White House.
So the fabrication continues to this day and Rice cannot right herself or stop the charade.
It reminds me of when Dan Rather lost all sense about the Bush TANG story. To this day Rather insanely maintains that story was essentially true even though he had no evidence to back up its claims. And still has none.
A fine journalistic faux pas by Rather. A case of covering up the truth by Rice, Williams and Mitchell.
It is what the Obama crew does. They double down on the lie and it usually works. This time she went to far. The CIA may be a bunch of desk jockeys but they have the goods on all politicians. Piss them off and they will make sure your career is over. BTW this all too convenient. She absolutly got played but is to stupid to realize that she was/is just a pawn. Rhodes Scholar my ass.
Agreed, they all went too far. The spooks will get revenge. A clandestine group being blamed publicly for errors they did not commit politicizes the CIA. This has to go against the grain over there.
