Ambassador Susan Rice and National Security Adviser Samantha Power.) This spawned an interesting discussion on 'Morning Joe' today, which lead conservative pundit Pat Buchanan to suggest that women in the administration were making an emotional argument in their advice to get the U.S. involved. Hoo boy!
