I'm beginning to think that Susan Rice, USA Ambassador to the UN, was

setup by the CIA. I know that John McCain and Lindsey Graham were big

supporters of president Bush's foreign policy, including voting for

President Bush's nomination of neocon, "Bull Dog", John Bolton, as USA

Ambassador to the UN. If John Bolton had been confirmed, he would have

raised hell at the UN an alienated everybody against the USA. Susan

Rice, USA Ambassador to the UN, has been just the opposite of a John

Bolton pick, and has been very successful improving USA international

relations and gaining international support for tough sanctions against

Iran, much to the chagrin of Israel and the neocons who would much

prefer preemptive war.

I never really understood why General David Petraeus was made the

Director of the CIA. From what I've read, he was not well liked by the

intelligence community, who say him as an military man, and thus an

outsider. General Petraeus might also have been setup by, or a victim

of the CIA.

Senator John McCain and Lindsey Graham want to conduct hearings on

President Obama's handling of the Benghazi attack, along the lines that

brought President Nixon down during the Watergate hearings, as a way to

get at President Obama. Nixon had his Watergate, Clinton had his Monica

Lewinsky's, and, if the republican have their way, Obama will have his

Bengahzi. LOL

Somehow the Benghazi attack and Israel's desire to preemptively strict

Iran; because, they fear Iran might perfect a nuclear weapon in the

future, seems to play a role in all this; thus, its seems possible that

the CIA, or Isreal, might have orchestrated the Benghazi attack to

advance their political and military agenda. Things have come far enough

along now, that someone should be able to begin connecting the dots. LOL

Excerpt:

The president denounced senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham for

saying they would attempt to block Rice from leading the state

department if Obama nominated her because she either lied or was

incompetent in saying that the attack in Libya on September 11 was

spontaneous and that there was no evidence of a link to al-Qaida.

Republicans assert that the White House knew at the time that neither

claim was true. The administration says the information was

substantially correct even if it was wrong to assert there was a

demonstration taking place at the time. It says the link to al-Qaida is

tenuous.

Obama vigorously defended Rice at his press conference on Wednesday by

saying that she was merely repeating the intelligence available at the

time when she appeared on various Sunday television talk shows five days

after the Benghazi attack.
