Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice believes the death of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans was not due to any breaches in protocol, pointing instead to the fog created by chaotic situations like the attack on the Benghazi consulate.
Rice, now a professor at Stanford University, told Fox News that it's difficult to know exactly what is going on in situations like this, made more complicated by the necessity of diplomats to often step from behind security walls to do their work effectively.
Her comments come days after the release of emails from the U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya asking Washington for increased security. Republicans and other political opponents of President Barack Obama have framed these documents as an example of the administration's failure to anticipate and handle the situation. Rice, a Republican, served in the administration of President George W. Bush and was briefly mentioned as a possible vice presidential running mate for GOP nominee Mitt Romney.
It is not very easy in circumstances like this to know precisely what's going on as it's unfolding," she told Fox's Greta Van Susteren. "There are protocols in place, I have no reason to believe they weren't followed, but it is not very easy in circumstances like this to know precisely what's going on as it's unfolding."
Rice also noted the inherent dangers of diplomacy in insecure countries like Libya.
"You can't keep your diplomats in a bunker, you want them out doing their work," she says. "You want to make certain you're making the right safety precautions for them, as well."
Does this mean she can't go around with Ryan anymore and help him with Football Players names and positions?
