The White House sharply escalated its attacks Tuesday on Republicans trying to stop Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice from succeeding Hillary Rodham Clinton as secretary of state. Press secretary Jay Carney described GOP lawmakers as being gripped by a politically fueled "obsession" with a series of television appearances Rice made shortly after the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, in which she wrongly suggested the attack had stemmed from a demonstration over an anti-Muslim video rather than a terrorist assault.
Carney's comments came after Rice met privately on Capitol Hill with Republican senators who have said they intend to block her nomination if President Barack Obama chooses her to replace Clinton as the nation's top diplomat. Rice also acknowledged for the first time, in a written statement issued by her office, that her initial public comments on the Benghazi assault were wrong because there had been no protest outside the compound.
Carney said the U.S. still does not know who carried out the assault, which claimed the lives of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. But he said GOP focus on Rice's early statements was a politically motivated distraction from efforts to identify those responsible for the killings.

I agree with your comments there, especially the last sentence.
I hear ya, but Rubio also wants an amnesty. He couches it like McCain does, but he’s on board with it. He tries to demagogue those who don’t too.

The Senate would never convict him.
The QUESTIONS I want answered are, WHY was HELP NOT SENT and WHO issued that order?
WHAT exactly was taking place or going down with the Ambassador when everything turned to $hit?
Something our side of the aisle doesn't seem to understand. The commies are on attack 24/7 and if no targets exist, they make them up. Our side sticks to its "civilized principles" and stays ineffectual or even helps the opposition while claiming some sort of "victory" because they got nothing in return, but did only cave to 98% of the other side's demands.
