I think it's to bolster Litvi position on the upcomming election. It does make sense, but it's a very very stupid move. Usually, when a country make a wrong statement about another country, the offended party ask the offender to clarify. In this case, Washington has denied it, but never asked Tel Aviv to clarify. I wonder if there are some truth to what he said.
It didn't make sense that Rice abstain from the vote. After all, she was the one that crafted it. And her rationale was piss poor, since she did crafted the resolution.
