  - Yeah, it's the kickoff to draft season for these kids so they're practicing for a week with NFL coaches and then playing a balls-out game - Will Hunting Jan 23, 09:04

Good for Hillary, Benghazi is another example where the GOP is so far off of what America thinks they are hurting themselves. -- nm - MDH Jan 23, 08:34 15
- I think he had a point though. If we didn't have confirmed information, Rice shouldn't have been offering a coherent summary of the events, - Max Jan 23, 08:40 14
  - I agree they should have had more of a wait and see attitude, but the part I still find silly about all of this is that from my recollection of the - pmb Jan 23, 09:13 1
    - I actually found Hilary's b2 response quite strong...and I'm rarely a fan of hers. -- nm - David Jan 23, 09:16
  - Damned if you do, damned if you don't. The sad truth is, people wanted answers, be they right or wrong. -- nm - Spawn Jan 23, 08:47 5
    - This is the truth. It's the artificial creation of a double-edged sword. She either gets hits for not being forthcoming or for lacking accurate intel. -- nm - David Jan 23, 08:53 4

        If you are arguing that there is a need to streamling the processing of intel, I completely agree. - David Jan 23, 09:11
      - It's the way the current GOP operates. Stake out the opposite from the Dems regardless of where you've stood on the subject in the past. - TWuG Jan 23, 08:57
      - agreed -- nm - Beaker Jan 23, 08:53
  - Rice was given those talking points by the CIA, IIRC. So blame falls to them if the points were wrong. But that's still bitching about - TWuG Jan 23, 08:44 5
    - I think the reason it's important is that it indicates there's a problem with internal communication and coordination of the investigation. - Max Jan 23, 08:57 2
      - If there hadn't been demonstrations you'd have a point about "harping". There were demonstrations, just not at the consulate preceding the attack. - TWuG Jan 23, 09:03 1
        
        10 years after the yellow cake debacle, we should be taking the idea of not selling the wrong narrative more seriously. -- nm - Max Jan 23, 09:25
    - The talking points were changed from what the CIA submitted. -- nm - No. 4 Stephen in the nation! Jan 23, 08:54
