Plenty of unanswered questions about Rice and Benghazi

If the Obama administration is in a conundrum over the Susan Rice nomination for Secretary of State, it is one entirely of their own making ("Obama's conundrum," Nov. 30). They knew within 24 hours of the attack that it was an al-Qaida affiliate sponsored terrorist attack. But this did not fit the Obama administration's narrative that al-Qaida was in retreat due to their efforts. To say otherwise would undermine a perceived Obama strength on foreign policy. Can't have that with the election around the corner.
