For the first time since her infamous 2012 interview, National Security Advisor Susan Rice appeared on Meet the Press on Sunday February 23 to discuss a variety of foreign policy issues, most noticeably Benghazi.

Throughout the interview, which focused primarily on the recent violent protests in Ukraine, host David Gregory provided Rice with a variety of softball questions on Benghazi, and allowed her to push White House talking points without any significant pushback.

What I said to you that morning and what I did every day since was to share the best information that we had at the time.

Pretty much what George W. Bush did when it came to Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction.

And the media heaped scorn upon his head for "lying" about WMD.

Someone should be making a list.......

If you think this was a softball interview, wait until the anger dies down, and they bring in the government media observers.

He’ll be asking her if she wants to sit in his chair, and interview him.

So a Common Felon Interviews a disgraced Liar, what could possibly be wrong with that. If the Republican Party had any morals at all, they would have BANNED any and All Republicans from ever speaking to or appearing on NBC until the FELON is Charged and Convicted. Furthermore the Broadcast License of NBC should have been REVOKED for their Deliberate FELONIOUS ACTS on the PUBLIC AIRWAVES.

Pretty much what George W. Bush did when it came to Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction.

And Bush did not lie. Saddam moved the WMD to Syria by a truck convoy. Guess America's forgot he used gas to kill hundreds of thousands of his own people.

"Pretty much what George W. Bush did when it came to Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction."

The burden of proof was always on Saddam to provide UN documented absence of WMD. This was per the penalty we imposed after beating him in the Gulf War. He never complied. Our interest was primarily to defend ourselves against a true enemy with known prior use and possession of WMDs, in large quantities, and also to preserve the conditions of victory from the original 1990-91 war.

So the GUN LAW lawbreaker decided to go easy on Rice. Understandable. They went easy on him for having an illegal HIGH CAPACITY magazine in his possession in DC.

An honest person would have resigned after being used by her boss to lie to the country and the rest of the world on such an important incident. Instead she got promoted. Nufsed!

Par for the course.

Susan Rice's husband is an ABC News producer named Ian Cameron.

She's in the club.

Disgusting. When CWII breaks out - the MSM will be on the list.

Mr. Gregory has a very simian appearance.

I was actually going to watch MTP today.

However, in the first 5 minutes one of the pundits made the statement: “an immigration reform bill would be a great shot in the arm for the economy”, and there was no discussion of this statement at all. I had to turn it off after that . Just propaganda; there is no discussion allowed of the liberal dogma.

Her boss Mr. Obama called it “an attack of terror” on Sept. 12, 2012 the very next day. Ms. Rice said on Sept. 16th. it was “the best information that we had at the time.”

Mr. Gregory has a very simian appearance

Like some character drawn by Dr. Seuss.

With sillier dialogue.
