Miss this? Susan Rice as next National Security Advisor. “It’s definitely happening.” http://dlvr.it/3NTrmJ #TPC

The Cable is subscription only, Taegan is (the) go-to on this story:

“Insiders with ties to the Obama administration tell that U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice has become the heir apparent to National Security Advisor Tom Donilon — a post at the epicenter of foreign-policy decision making and arguably more influential than secretary of state, a job for which she withdrew her candidacy last fall amid severe political pressure.”

Said one source: “It’s definitely happening.”

Congratulations, Susan Rice. Feel free to gloat.

confirming, Sid.

2. She's far better suited to that sort of role than a diplomatic post.

The history books will be confusing, however.

3. Cool! Obama ropes the dopes yet again.

[Number23]

4. YES!! Still felt she should have been SOS during the president's first term

Will always feel that way. But this is a good appointment.

I love Susan Rice and John McCain and Lindsey Graham have earned a special place on my shit list for the way they treated her over the manufactured BS that is Benghazi.

7. Ditto that.

Glad she's getting this promotion!

6. I read something not long ago that

made me smile for Susan Rice's future in the Obama Admin.

..a post at the epicenter of foreign-policy decision making and arguably more influential than secretary of state, a job for which she withdrew her candidacy last fall amid severe political pressure.”

too bad for mcccain who better watch himself so he doesn't implode.

thanks bigtree!

8. Vindicated!

McCain and Graham with the rest of the lying sack of shit treated her horribly and then padded themselves on their backs. Eff you GOPers ya crazy nutty insane SOBs

9. I can see the smoke coming out of McCain's and Graham's ears

10. I'm sure all the Iraq War vets who lost their lives or limbs

no thanks to Susan Rice's vocal support for Bush's war will be pleased to hear this.

13. I wonder what war she'll be trying to talk us into next.

She's a pretty gung-ho interventionist.

14. +1 She's a warhawk. I was not sad to see her go and I'm not happy that she's back.
