| United Nations - U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, broke her silence on Wednesday and defended her remarks on a September attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to the North African nation. (Snip) "I relied solely and squarely on the information provided to me by the intelligence community," said Rice, who is seen as a possible nominee to replace Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. "I made clear that the information provided to me was preliminary and that our investigations would give us the definitive answers," Rice told reporters

No she did not. The problem, when you lie , is that you can´t remember all of the lies. That is why telling the truth is easier - you don´t have to correct yourself. This woman is not qualified to be dog catcher!

Toots, it´s one thing if you went on a single show and told us what you said. But you went on five shows and repeated the same lie.
Isn´t this woman smart enough to push back and ask questions of the intell briefers? She just takes verbatim what someone tells her?
Also, the CIA doesn´t give "talking points", they furnish intelligence reports. Politicians provide talking points.

Well, maybe she is the one who came up with the idea of the youtube video... someone came up with that but they did it BEFORE any protest in Cairo and long before Bengazi.
The Embassy in Cairo issued a statement several hours before any ´protests´ condemning and naming the video.
That is where the answer to ´who is responsible for this?´ is.

According to Marcia Fudge,Rice graduated at the top of her class and is also a Rhodes Scholar. Compared to McCain who was at the bottom of his class,so he has no business sticking his nose in this.Of course his motivations are racial.I´ve never seen any other examples of McCain being racist,guess he just grew this the last 6 months.
I really don´t care about a left winger´s pedigree or how many degrees they have,they are anti-American down to their toenails and degrees can´t stop that.
Rice would not be an honest broker of US interests abroad.Hillary has some shred of credibility for the job,especially coming out of the left´s world of candidates for anything.,.
The real deal killer for Rice might not even be all the way out yet if she was involved in stopping Bin Laden´s handover.Being a protege of Albright is tough to stomach also.

Rice, Clinton and Obama IMMEDIATELY began peddling the story that an anti-Islam film had excited mobs that then got out of control. They did not express this as a possibility, one explanation among others to be considered, a tentative theory pending a complete investigation and all the facts. No. They insisted from the beginning it was a spontaneous demonstration against a film, that it got out of hand, and they went around apologizing to Muslims for the film.
We saw this. We heard this. It is recorded on audio and video tape. Do they think we have forgotten? That we are CRAZY? What is WRONG with these people?
Scratch that. What is wrong with the news media and a plurality of the American electorate for letting them get away with it? It is like Alice in Wonderland.

Instead, check out the clip above that condenses three years of sun images into a hypnotic three-minute video that shows our closest star rotating on its axis, radiating energy and light. The images in the video were taken by the Solar Dynamics Observatory, a NASA satellite that launched three years ago in 2010, with the express purpose of helping scientists better understand the sun and how its magnetic fields shift and change.

Mark Sanford’s scorned ex-wife Jenny denied, last week, that she had leaked court filings revealing that the former South Carolina governor had trespassed at her home earlier this year. But the politician’s humiliated ex is no dunce; as a political spouse, Jenny would certainly have known that by filing the papers in the midst of a hotly contested campaign they would eventually make it into the press, curtailing Sanford’s comeback attempt. Republicans cut Sanford loose last week; just hours after the papers went public, the National Republican Congressional Committee announced it was halting

Although police feared he was heavily armed, the suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings had no firearms when he came under a barrage of police gunfire that struck the boat where he was hiding, according to multiple federal law enforcement officials. Authorities said they were desperate to capture Dzhokhar Tsarnaev so he could be questioned. The FBI, however, declined to discuss what triggered the gunfire. (Snip) Law enforcement officials said they do not believe the brothers were connected with a terrorist organization, but they cautioned that the inquiry is at an early stage.

Savar, Bangladesh - Eleven-year-old Taslima asked her mother not to go to her job at a local factory this morning after workers there noticed large cracks inside the building. This evening, Taslima is in tears, sitting by her mother’s body in a makeshift mortuary. Her mother was one of the more than 125 killed when the eight floor building collapsed on the outskirts of Bangladesh’s capital, Dhaka. Some 800 more were injured. As search-and-rescue efforts continue, those numbers are likely to rise, say witnesses, who report that hundreds of people may still be trapped in the rubble.

More than a dozen Maryland state correctional officers were accused Tuesday of helping a powerful prison gang run a drug-trafficking and money-laundering operation from behind bars. Thirteen female prison guards were charged by the Maryland U.S. Attorney’s Office in an indictment unsealed Tuesday in federal court. They allegedly smuggled into the prison cell phones, prescription pills and other contraband uncovered during a year-long corruption investigation of state detention facilities. “The inmates literally took over ‘the asylum,’ and the detention centers became safe havens for BGF,”

Diagnostic errors, not surgical misadventures, obstetrical mistakes or improperly delivered medications, are the main source of successful malpractice claims. (Snip) Incorrect, missed or delayed diagnoses accounted for 29 percent of successful malpractice claims. They accounted for 35 percent of the total amount of money paid out and caused 39 percent of malpractice-related deaths. “Diagnostic errors are the most common, the most costly and the most deadly of all medical errors,” said David E.

Brussels - When President Obama welcomes the leader of Qatar to the White House on Tuesday, he will doubtless thank the Qataris for hosting a major U.S. air base in the Persian Gulf, and for their help on a wide range of strategic issues from Libya to Afghanistan. But he is also likely to press Emir Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani to ensure that none of the weapons Qatar is sending to Syrian rebels end up with the Jabhat al-Nusra, which the administration has linked to al-Qaeda, and other Islamic extremist groups fighting against the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Flu comes in many forms. In China right now they´re battling human infections of H7N9, in 2009 it was H1N1 and in 2004-5 it was H5N1. Why all the code names, and what do they mean? Viruses, including influenza viruses, are machines. Anyone who doubts this hasn´t seen a bacteriophage virus up close. Influenza viruses look more like the Death Star: roughly spherical and covered with spikes. Inside is just enough genetic material and protein to ensure the virus can take over host cells and replicate itself, but it´s actually the spikes on the outside that inspire the code names.

In Obama´s Audacity of Hope, he stated, "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in any ugly direction." He also asserted in Bob Woodward´s Obama´s Wars, "We can absorb [another] terrorist attack." These are two straightforward statements that raise the question of whether a man who has been seemingly obsessed with reaching out to "the Muslim world" since taking office is capable of fulfilling his duty as commander-in-chief to keep America safe and secure.

George W. Bush will return to the spotlight this week for the dedication of his presidential library, an event likely to trigger fresh public debate about his eight fateful years in office. But he reemerges with a better public image than when he left Washington more than four years ago. Since then, Bush has absented himself from both policy disputes and political battles. A new Washington Post-ABC News poll suggests that the passage of time and Bush’s relative invisibility have been beneficial to a chief executive who left office surrounded by controversy.

State officials confirmed last night that Tsarnaev, slain in a raging gun battle with police last Friday, was receiving benefits along with his wife, Katherine Russell Tsarnaev, and their 3-year-old daughter. The state’s Executive Office of Health and Human Services said those benefits ended in 2012 when the couple stopped meeting income eligibility limits.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev is telling no tales. The older of the two brothers who committed the Boston Marathon bombings was likely the one who planned the attack, but when he died in a shootout with police just days after the blasts, his thoughts and motivations vanished with him. But the brain that was home to his angry mind remains, and in this case that may mean something. Tsarnaev was an amateur boxer who won the New England Golden Gloves competition as recently as 2009 and 2010. That speaks to a young man with a healthy sense
