Top Republican: Ambassador Rice Should Resign for Misleading Public on Benghazi Terror Attacks (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, September 28, 2012, 10:58 PM
Rep. Peter King told CNN Ambassador Susan Rice should resign for what he says was misleading comments about the Libya attack.
Ambassador Rice went on 5 different Sunday talk shows repeating the lie that the Benghazi terror attack was a spontaneous protest when the White House knew within 24 hours that Al-Qaeda was behind the attacks.
The Politico reported:
Rep. Peter King called for the resignation Friday of U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice for initially saying that the deadly Sept. 11 assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was spontaneous.
“I believe that this was such a failure of foreign policy messag[ing] and leadership, such a misstatement of facts as was known at the time … for her to go on all of those shows and in effect be our spokesman for the world and be misinforming the American people and our allies and countries around the world, to me, somebody has to pay the price for this,” the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee told CNN.
In a Friday statement, Director of Public Affairs for National Intelligence Shawn Turner sought to explain the change that eventually lead President Barack Obama to say the attacks were terrorism and “not a mob action.”
“In the immediate aftermath, there was information that led us to assess that the attack began spontaneously following protests earlier that day at our embassy in Cairo. We provided that initial assessment to executive branch officials and members of Congress, who used that information to discuss the attack publicly and provide updates as they became available. Throughout our investigation we continued to emphasize that information gathered was preliminary and evolving,” Turner said.
And after Rice leaves they need to frogmarch Hillary from Foggy Bottom.

Not to worry, everyone. In about another day, two at the most, Republican calls for Rice’s resignation will die away, never to be repeated, and Obie and his administration will skate away scot free.
As usual.

Susan Rice maybe a chronic liar – But she is my chronic liar!
Sure, I mucked-up the Middle East. But, once you tell a lie you stick to the same lie… like Susan Rice!
Because my campaign is in the toilet I waffle, flip-flop and tread water on the issue. I have the left-wing lunatic fringe, the Huffpoo and the Muslim Brotherhood to appease. That’s a lot of appeasing!
That’s why a stay loose as goose and squawk like empty headed chicken in the middle of the road.
But let me be clear, Susan Rice had some degree of culpability and should resign!
[whisper… whisper]
But, on the other hand, Susan Rice is an experienced crony who probably should not resign… until the election is over. It’s really up to Davy Axelrod!
If you like the way I flip-flop and lie to you then vote for me! And, this is important! Send me $3.00 before midnight!
My campaign is tapped-out. Jay-z is demanding a refund of his 0bama campaign donation. My donors are numskulls! Send me more money now!

Yarrl Dliefsarb commented:
Demopaths never resign in shame. They are incapable of it. Furthermore, lying is not a sin in their view, as their whole scheme of relating to the world is based on lying and delusion.
Mad Hatter commented:
Thank God for Representatives like Pete King. It’s a shame that the so called House Majority leader still can’t display any spine on this, or other issues.
Like everyone else, the Republicans like King, and Issa, need to press hard to hold an investigation into what did the Obama Administration know, and when did they know it when it comes to the pre Embassy attacks.
kato commented:
This administration is infested with subprimers.
American Woman commented:
It is what they do. They lie and lie, and lie some more. Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton have followed Obama’s lead and thanks to them the UN has morphed into an Islamic Fascist terrorist group safely ensconced in the US.
What a disgrace!
Clinton, Rice, and Holder should step down. It would indicate they are adults able to address their dismal failure of leadership. However, it will not happen. They all follow Obama’s lead and diligently work to destroy us.
Noovuss commented:
Never, ever going to happen, just put this out of your head.
I wonder if this is the same Republican choir that supports continued payments to Egypt?
Throw the Republicans out, until we get good ones.
Tom in CA commented:
Blacque Jacques has it entirely right, unfortunately. Nothing is going to happen.
Where's the MF money Jon? commented:
She’s a political hack who got the job because she is committed to the cause. She won’t resign and no one will ask her to. They have a revolution to finish and there may be little time.
3rd AF Crew Chief commented:

Mcashc commented:
We have know chance. Each year our population is becoming less American. The commie PC plan is near total victory. The human instinct of being lazy is being emboldened by the racist, fraud, no experience, child, that ignorant fools elected in 2008. The American idea is hard work, personal responsibilty, morals, following laws and freedom. If Romney wins the civil war will begin. The communist media and the black loser thugs are waiting for a reason to start this. As sick as it sounds, we need this commie punk to win. He will go all out communist and racist and will be in charge when it all collapses. Maybe that will wakeup hard working American democrats to the fact this idiot fool punk racist is not on Americas side. At that time our military needs to move in and arrest all these communist traitors. I know it’s a pipe dream but I don’t see any other way.
