Politico "It's someone else's fault"

It's Clinton's fault, it's Newt's fault, it's anyone else's fault that but ours. We were only there 233 days, "they" should have fixed the problem before we came along. That's what Rice is saying. Just because Clinton and Newt told us about the problem in January 2001, it's not our fault we didn't take action, they should have fixed the problem themselves.

Sheeesh. If she hadn't tried to shift blame and simply stuck to "we were working on the problems but didn't get far enough before 9/11" which she does say, but only after some serious attempts at blame-shift. She never actually uses Clinton's name or Newt's name or anyone else's, it's just a general "they" but it's there, that elephant in the room that she keeps walking around.

Sheeesh.
