Honor, distinction, and truth in the time of Obama

From Paul Mirengoff at Powerline Blog:

The question has been asked many times: why was Susan Rice selected to appear on the talk shows to discuss the Benghazi attack? At the time, Rice was our ambassador to the U.N. There was no connection between her job and Benghazi.

Now I think I know why Rice was selected. She is willing to say anything on television.

Consider her appearance on ABC News to discuss the trade in which we released five senior Taliban commanders in exchange for American POW Bowe Bergdahl. Rice stated, among other things, that Bergdahl “served the United States with honor and distinction” and that he “wasn’t simply a hostage; he was an American prisoner of war captured on the battlefield.”

Both statements are very probably untrue. There is substantial evidence that Bergdahl deserted the Army, or at least went AWOL.

She will sacrifice all credibility to protect the Dear Leader. She is a partisan hack who should be shamed into obscurity.
