National security

Susan Rice: ‘We have to walk and chew gum at the same time’ on national security

“If I have any regrets, I might, in retrospect, have taken my mother’s advice and not gone on the Sunday shows.”
That was part of a lengthy response from Susan Rice when I asked her about her appearance on the Sunday talk shows where her comments on the attack on a U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012, turned her into a lightning rod. The then-U.S. ambassador to the United Nations became such a target of criticism that she withdrew from consideration to become secretary of state to President Obama in the second term. But as his national security adviser, Rice is right where she wants to be.
