| Ben Rhodes may have snowed Hillary about Benghazi |
| 2016-05-11 |
| Just about everybody who’s anybody in the foreign policy and national security establishment, or “the Blob,” as former campaign van driver and novelist manqué turned Presidential foreign-policy mind-meld Ben Rhodes calls it, has had something to say about the spectacularly revealing Ben Rhodes profile in the New York Times Magazine. David Samuels of the Times seems to have conducted the interview the way Times journalists usually do with Administration grandees: on his knees, breathlessly counterposed to the his dehiscent slide fastener of his interviewee’s trousers. Despite his claim to be outside it, Rhodes is a card-carrying Beltway Blob made guy, by dint of his position (which he probably owes to having a brother who’s head of CBS “News”). He is a Deputy National Security Advisor on the National Security Council and has nothing but contempt for people who actually have studied, practiced, or (in the instant case) implemented foreign policy, especially not when it comes down to kinetics. Conversely, nobody is asking, say, retired special operations sergeants and former defense contractors what they think, but why shouldn’t we stick our oar in? Everyone else is. No, one must visit the internet blogs for those opinions. And right now, everybody is talking about how Rhodes admits that the Iran “deal” was built on myth and sold with lies. More at the link |

| #4 Better to simply throw yourself upon the alter than be discovered later. There's no money in inadvertent discovery. |

| #1 Appears Rhodes identified an indolent, empty suit and systematically exploited it. I fear we may have seen only the tip of the iceberg regarding this man's puppetry. |
