The new narrative is that Susan Rice cannot be blamed for inaccuracies in her report regarding the violence in Benghazi that resulted in the death of Ambassador Stevens, and three SEALs. The information she gave that indicated the violence was nothing more than spontaneous protests in response to an anti-Muslim film produced by an American filmmaker was all of the information she had, which she received from sources from the intelligence community. She can't be blamed, for she knew no different.
Senators Lindsey Graham and John McCain disagree, as do I.
The White House choreographed the cover-up, well knowing that the attack in Benghazi was being caused by terrorists, and quite probably, al-Qaeda (which later it was confirmed to be al-Qaeda). Obama knew the truth, Hillary Clinton knew the truth, and Susan Rice knew the truth.
The intelligence assessment, confirmed by CIA Director Petraeus' testimony, was that the violence against the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya was driven by terrorism in a pre-planned attack. The story about the video was a political smokescreen intended to cover-up the truth to protect the narrative by the White House that, as a result of the death of Osama bin-Laden, the War on Terror was over, and al-Qaeda was a thing of the past.
Like President Barack Obama, Susan Rice is a liar.
Evidence reveals that all of the intelligence reports contradicted Rice's claims.
The latest scrutiny of Susan Rice, and her claims regarding Benghazi, is rising because of the possibility that she is the next appointment for Secretary of State, to replace resigning Hillary Clinton.
