President Obama and Congressional Democrats have gone to great lengths to defend embattled U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice’s role in the aftermath of the 9-11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Ms. Rice’s defenders claim that her initial public assessment that the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was a spontaneous protest in reaction to a supposed Anti-Islam film on YouTube was based on bad intelligence.
Congressional hearings have revealed that the CIA, under its former director David Petraeus, knew through intelligence on the ground and from assets overhead that this planned attack was carried out by Al-Qaeda. It would appear that Ms. Rice was part of a coordinated effort by unknown elements within the White House to downplay the terrorist aspect of Benghazi attack, which happened on the 11th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks and with less than eight weeks to go before a Presidential election.
Many
people on both sides of the political spectrum are well aware of Ms.
Rice’s history of political cronyism and her tactic of twisting truth to
protect the political fortunes of the administrations in which she has
served. While Congressional Democrats have sought to portray the
investigation into Ms. Rice’s role in the Benghazi cover-up as a witch
hunt based on racism and sexism, some of these same Democrats have had
their own concerns about Ms. Rice’s cronyism in the past.
