Hillary Brings Her Gun to the Knife Fight

It looks as if Hillary has brought a gun to the knife fight Joe Biden instigated during the vice presidential debate. We shall soon see if Biden and Obama, who were not aware of any problems in Benghazi, measure up to the Tiger Lady from Wellesley College. From the Daily Mail;
 
The State Department has said that it never believed the September 11th attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was the result of a protest over an anti-Islam movie - directly contracting the rest of the Obama administration.
By trying to distance her department from the inept and deceptive handling of the Benghazi attack, which left U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens and three other American officials dead, Hillary Clinton could help herself politically for a 2016 presidential run.

State Department sources have said that Clinton has never forgotten that Rice, who served in her husband Bill's administration, was an early supporter of Obama. Rice has ambitions to take over from Clinton if Obama is re-elected but the Benghazi debacle could scupper her chances.

This could be the bloodiest gang war since the Corleones fought off the Tattaglias' hostile take over attempt.

In a briefing on Tuesday, State Department officials said 'others' in the executive branch concluded initially that the attack was part of a protest against the film, which ridiculed the Prophet Muhammad. That was never the State Department's conclusion, reporters were told.





According to the State Department Ambassador Susan Rice got her talking points from the White House when she appeared on 5 Sunday talk shows to cite a YouTube video as the cause of the attack. This makes sense. It's common knowledge that Hillary will be leaving her post at the end of this year to begin laying the foundation for her 2016 presidential run. If Rice really wants the job here is the loyalty test she must pass and worry about her senate confirmation later. Hillary must still extricate herself from the fact that for several days she sang from the White House songbook on the cause of the attack but she can probably brush that off as misdirected loyalty to a president she thought at the time had the best interest of the country at heart and that she backed away when it became apparent that he would not level with the American people.
