I'm sure she's not the sole person at fault here, they need to find who edited the reports and got her to lie.
WASHINGTON--After meeting with U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice on Tuesday, three GOP lawmakers said their concerns have only grown about misleading statements Rice made concerning the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead.
Rice's meeting with Sens. John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte on Capitol Hill came as the White House signaled it may nominate Rice to replace Hillary Rodham Clinton as secretary of State.
McCain, R-Ariz., has said he may oppose her nomination because she should have known her statements on the Sept. 11 attack were false.
Rice said in a round of interviews days after the deadly incident that the attack may have emerged from a protest outside the consulate in response to an anti-Islam video produced in the USA. It was later learned there was no protest and the attack was a well-organized terror plot likely timed for the anniversary of 9/11.
"It is clear the information she gave the American people was incorrect when she said that it was a spontaneous demonstration triggered by a hateful video," McCain told reporters after the meeting with Rice. "It was not, and there was compelling evidence at the time that that was certainly not the case."
"The bottom line is that I'm more disturbed than I was before ... about how four Americans died in Benghazi, Libya," Graham said.
