Sen. John McCain said he is significantly troubled after meeting with U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice on Tuesday.

"We are significantly troubled by many of the answers that we got and some that we didn't get," said McCain of the meeting to discuss the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

McCain said the initial explanation given by Rice shortly after the attack misled the American populace.

"It is clear that the information that she gave the American people was incorrect when she said that it was a spontaneous demonstration triggered by a hateful video," McCain said. "It was not and there was compelling evidence at the time that that was certainly not the case."

Rice also met with Republican Senators Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte. Both also criticized Rice's initial explanation.

    Well of course he is troubled
    Less troubling is the obvious backpedaling by Rice, than the deafening silence from the White House, which has yet to fess up. As usual with the Obama administration, he has the audacity to ignore demands for explanation, and despite objections, goes unchallenged. Nixxon could not escape interrogation on lesser charges. Big red flag that few will look at.

    Let's see, McCain found Condaleeza
    Rice's dissembling about the bogus weapons of mass destruction claims quite acceptable. Her lies, and his acceptance of her, lies helped lead us into an unnecessary and costly war. MCCain's bogus outrage is part of the Republican game plan to score some political points. Most folks accept that sketchy intelligence led to a poor initial assessment. The investigation continues, but Republicans are using this issue to lick their electoral wounds.
