Susan Rice, conniving liar or ignorant dupe?

Either Susan Rice is the dumbest woman ever in a presidential administration or she's the most pathetic of women to knowingly allow herself to be Obama's meme-test patsy not once, but twice. After being excoriated by the media and the American people for eagerly trotting out the Benghazi lie to protect Obama and Hillary, she allows them to use her again to advance the apparent tall tale that Bowe Bergdahl was an honorable serviceman and that he had gotten captured by the Taliban on the field of combat. Both are outrageous lies and Rice either knows it which makes her a liar too, or she doesn't know it which makes her a miserably stupid dupe of the administration, or the third option is that she calculated that she's damaged goods anyway because of Benghazi, how much more damaged could she be if she goes out and lies about Bergdahl? I'll let her choose her poison.
