The Republican Witch Hunt

Fresh off a loss for the Presidency, The Republicans are now scrambling to lay blame or at the very least, find a scapegoat for the failings of their party to take the Commander in Chief post twice in a row.  The Witch Hunt is on and a scapegoat has been found, in none other than Susan Rice.

After a closed meeting with Susan Rice, the acting director of the CIA and a few Republican figureheads that was designed to give more information and explain the ambassadors comments on the situation in Libya, there is still no rest in this matter. Senator John McCain in a press conference following the meeting says he now has more questions than he did previously and has expressed dissatisfaction with what Susan Rice said ultimately alluding to a cover-up by the Obama administration.

I call BULLSHIT!

I think what happened here was that Susan Rice along with other top officials had an idea of what was going on in Libya. But it being too soon to call anything with surety and of course, that information would be classified anyway--was given generic and of course, diluted talking points to for public consumption.  This is not new, and this happens more often than not.  And for Senator McCain and his clan to pretend like this was some grand conspiracy theory and not something that happens routinely in the intel community is bullshit!

You can not divulge classified information to the masses, it puts us at a national security risk. But at the same time, people do have the right to know what is going on. And so here you see, that fine line being blurred between what we need to know and what we should know. As as much as that sounds a little scary, it is not an attempt to mislead or deceive but an effort to protect those who are protecting our security.  Classified information is not classified because of what it is, it is classified because of the source of the information   To clearly, information was being received from sources who remain and probably will always remain unknown. Welcome to the world of intelligence folks.

The Republican Witch Hunt needs to end, and they need to let those in the intelligence community continue to do their jobs.  This is ridiculous and the grandstanding needs to cease.  The Republicans lost the election, now its time to focus on getting people back to work and healing the economy. Enough is enough.
