Susan Rice Drove Decision to Shut Down Embassies Over Terror Threat
Trying to avoid a Benghazi repeat
National Security Adviser Susan Rice is playing a driving role in the decision to shutter U.S. embassies and consulates over a major terror threat, sources tell Fox News, claiming the former diplomat is trying to avoid a repeat of the deadly Benghazi terror attack nearly a year ago.
Twenty-two U.S. posts were closed over the weekend, and the State Department announced it will keep 19 embassies and consulates closed through Saturday "out of an abundance of caution."

thats pretty shitty to make her take the fall on bengazi. now she has to be linked to this more. this is a new reference point to make her appear involved or responsible for something that wasnt her doing.
she is a propaganda tool, nothing more.
clinton was the secretary of defense, obama was the 'president'. rice is a blame heatsync, working to appear retroactively more involved.
