Bill Kristol prefers Susan Rice over John Kerry because he thinks Rice is more interventionist.

Be careful what you wish for. You just may be supporting more military involvement.

Note that Lieberman sounds positive towards her also.

Please, see, http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021890629

After all, she seems the quickest ticket to another "humanitarian intervention" in Syria, and then war with Iran. Just what the neocons called for, and with limited opposition from the easily divided and confused Left. Just what the chef ordered.

Thanks.

Democrats need to think beyond Benghazi and circling the wagons and realize what Susan Rice would mean for foreign policy. How ironic would it be if we find ourselves in Neocon land with a Democratic President?

Maybe not so accidental.

My impression of Rice, gained from reading about her, is that she's seen as being the WH advisor most closely aligned with Obama's own thinking on foreign policy. If that's true, we are in for one Hell of a Second Term.

Patently absurd.

The RW is trying to mess with people's heads, and evidently it's working. The ridiculous theories being floated are pathetic.

You know they are more intent on creating chaos when they do things like this.

Is she really more interventionist than Kerry? The only person I've ever heard that from is from Bill Krsitol, who is not reliable as a sole source of information.
