« Ch-Ch-Changes | Main | When Asked If Hillary Was Responsible For Benghazi, Obama Silently Walks Away »
October 16, 2012

WaPo; Obama's Grooming Susan "Spontaneous Protest" Rice To Be Secretary of State in a 2nd Term;
She Received "Daily" Intelligence Briefings on Benghazi

She failed. Of course she will be promoted.

Was she told she had to go out in lie to the American public to prove her chops at "diplomacy"?

The appearances were part of a gradual increase in the public profile of an administration insider, one eyed as a potential successor to Hillary Rodham Clinton as secretary of state. Today, Rice’s profile has been raised, but hardly in the way that she or her White House supporters would have liked.

National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor said that he would not "comment on future personnel decisions." The Post does not specify what question elicited this, but it's plain from context he was asked about the possibility she'd be appointed Secretary of State.

Meanwhile, Rice says she was being briefed daily on the intelligence from Benghazi:

In an interview Monday with The Washington Post, Rice said she relied on daily updates from intelligence agencies in the days before her television appearances and on a set of talking points prepared for senior members of the administration by intelligence officials. She said there was no attempt to pick and choose among possible explanations for the attack.

If she was being briefed daily, then she knew what she was saying was false. Period.
