Should those on the left who criticized Colin Powell for presenting information about WMDs to the UN, information “based on intelligence that he had received,” have been admonished to shut up because they were “besmirching his reputation” in an “outrageous” manner? Of course not, as they’d be the first to tell you. But Rice is apparently off-limits, because Obama says so.]]>Sat, 17 Nov 2012 11:00:22 -0500<![CDATA[Neo-Neocon]]>https://pjmedia.com/neoneocon/2012/11/17/obamas-outrage-n175152
