Actually, you are a liar, in both instances you knew what you were saying wasn’t true. Bergdahl didn’t serve with “honor and distinction” and Benghazi had nothing to do with a YouTube video.

It hasn’t been an easy week for Susan Rice, President Obama’s national security adviser.

A day after the Obama administration completed the exchange of five Taliban operatives for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the only U.S. service member held in captivity during the Afghan war, she said that the soldier had served with “honor and distinction.” That, despite a body of evidence suggesting Bergdahl had walked off his military outpost in eastern Afghanistan on June 30, 2009, raising the prospect that he went absent without leave or deserted his position. Both are crimes in the military. […]

Asked Friday about her past comments on Benghazi, Rice did not shy away from comparing the two controversies.

“Similarly with Benghazi, as has been recounted on many occasions, I provided the best information that the U.S. government had at the time,” she said. “Parts of it turned out to be wrong. I regret that the information I was provided was wrong and that I delivered to the American people. That doesn’t make me a liar. That makes me a public servant trying to say what we knew at the time and when I gave that information I caveated it and noted that it was what we knew then and there, but it could well change.”

If Rice was not aware of Bergdahl’s past last weekend, however, it isn’t because questions about him had not arisen before.
