Despite her role in administration’s blatantly false narrative after last year’s terrorist attack in Benghazi, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice will serve as the next National Secrutiy Advisor to President Barack Obama. And because the post is not a cabinet-level position, Rice will not be subject to confirmation or hearings by the Senate.
The White House acknowledged that Rice would be appointed to the post after Tom Donilon, who has held the role since 2010, announced his resignation this morning. Rice was nominated by President Obama to serve as Secretary of State late last year, but she was forced to withdraw due to the backlash from Senators over her role in the false Benghazi narrative.
In the aftermath of incident at American outpost in Benghazi that claimed the lives of four Americans, Rice appeared on Sunday talk shows and toed the Obama Administration’s line that it was a “spontaneous” protest against an anti-Muslim YouTube that spiraled out-of-control. It was later revealed that Benghazi was, in fact, a pre-planned terrorist attack.
The talking points Rice used on those shows have turned out to be controversial because references to terrorism and al-Qaeda were removed. The Obama Administration almost immediately knew that it was a terrorist attack carried out by an al-Qaeda-connected group, but doctored the talking points to reflect a manufactured narrative nearly two months before an election.
Rice’s appointment is incredibly disappointing and a slap in the face to the families of victims who died in the attack and to the American public, who still haven’t received a straight answer from the White House about Benghazi. It also shows that there is no measure of accountability or reality in this administration.
This is not right. She should have been forced to resign in disgrace. If she had any integrity, she would have resigned voluntarily. Instead, she is appointed to a position of high responsibility. Outrageous.
