SUSAN RICE HAS NO BUSINESS AT STATE DEPARTMENT

There has been much talk about who will replace Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State early next year when she steps down in the first days of the second Obama administration. All indications from an Obama news conference to inside reports from many in the administration lead to the conclusion that UN Ambassador Susan Rice tops Obama's list for the vacating cabinet position.

Many tout Rices five show talking heads tour in the first days after the terrorist attack on Benghazi, lying about it being a video rather than a planned attack killing our Ambassador and three others as reason enough to keep her nomination from being confirmed for Secretary of State.  Her defenders, Obama among them claim she was just stating the administration line as she lied on each talking heads show and as such has no fault in the cover up after Benghazi.  Yet if she were Secretary of State in the same situation would she not be expected to make he own decisions and conclusions based on intelligence information she saw and not just following the bidding of her boss in the Oval Office?

Setting this lie aside though Rice as the UN Ambassador has been a complete failure and this along with the lie about Benghazi make her completely unqualified and dangerous as Secretary of State. At every opportunity in her role as UN Ambassador Rice has looked out more for the interests of The UN and not The United States. Her every decision as Ambassador has been to cave to UN mandates and policy that are never in the best interest of The United States.

She has been an advocate for UN policy and not the security and sovereignty of our country.  The Ambassador at the UN is expected to look out for the best interest of The United States at a United Nations whose goal has been for several decades to support every Despot and third world dictatorship and oppose everything The United States stands for.  Rice has caved to The UN at every turn and not once in her tenure at The UN supported freedom or ideals that would expand freedom but rather UN propaganda and its anti American ideals.

If she were to take this same approach at the State Department we would have our top Diplomat giving in to every enemy, supporting every anti American action and allowing those who would do us the most harm to have their way at every turn.  As Secretary of State she would be not just dangerous but a hazard to all US interests throughout the world putting lives in danger and our security at risk.

While this type of performance may be acceptable to Barack Obama whose foreign policy since taking office has been a failure and dangerous to America the nomination of Rice should be blocked at every opportunity to prevent the Nations top Diplomat from being a danger also.  Rice has no business at State and she should be allowed to drift into oblivion as a failed Diplomat and liar who endangered the country she claimed to serve.
