Susan Rice: Trump Is More Dangerous to America Than ‘Any Foreign Adversary'
2018-12-24
[Breitbart] Former National Security Advisor Susan Rice published an op-ed Sunday in the New York Times in which she declares that President Donald Trump "does more to undermine American national security than any foreign adversary."
More dangerous than the Islamic terrorists who carried out the Benghazi attack, about which she lied to the world, blaming a YouTube video; more dangerous than the so-called "Islamic state," which she let take root after her boss, President Barack Obama, called them the "J.V. team"; more dangerous than Vladimir Putin’s Russia, which took over Crimea on her watch; more dangerous than Iran, with which she and her boss concluded a failed nuclear deal.

Rice wrote that Trump’s decision to withdraw from Syria ‐ a conflict that the Obama administration allowed to drag on even after dictator Bashar al-Assad crossed Obama’s "red line" and gassed his own people ‐ represented "[c]utting and running," and she said that the departure of Secretary of Defense left the administration unstable (emphasis added):

#7  Rice was there at every step of the way. She'd be SecState right now if Hildebeast was POTUS.

A colleague of mine sums it well;

I believe it is very important to give credit where credit is due.

-President Barack Obama created the conditions for ISIS to flourish in 2010 and 2011, when he essentially stopped talking to Maliki, and then ordered the sudden drawdown in IZ (which caught DoD completely by surprise).

-President Barack Obama armed ISIS when his administration flooded Syria with hundreds of tons of light, medium, and heavy weapons (with John Brennan taking a major role in shifting those weapons from Libya to Syria).

-President Barack Obama then avoided targeting ISIS because of his fantasy unicorn force of amazingly moderate freedom fighters that was supposedly prevalent and mixed in among ISIS. Obama repeatedly denied ISIS was a problem, even as ISIS took over a vast swath of territory.

I am not a big fan of President Trump. That said, President Trump cleaned up the mess he inherited from Barack Obama. DJT did so without constantly blaming BHO for creating the mess (BHO blamed GWB for everything bad that happened from 2009-2017).

DJT has demonstrated a willingness to develop situations, as opposed to allowing situations to develop. That shows leadership and willingness to take decisive action. That is a marked departure from the Obama Admin's "Leading From Behind" policies. That makes some folks uncomfortable, because some folks don't understand that failure to make a decision is still making a decision, albeit a bad one.

Barack Obama's foreign policy will continue to fester and cause issues that DJT will have to clean up. BHO's ill-advised actions created problems with no good solution, but DJT is playing the hand he was dealt.

So...in all seriousness, if you have an issue with how President Trump acts, and you didn't have an issue with how President Obama acted, you have an infantile view of foreign policy. Stick to Instagram pictures of cupcakes and Facebook updates from Justin Bieber.

#6  Why is she not saying this dribble from prison?

It would be fun to see her in an orange jumpsuit on 60 Minutes saying "The b*tch (Swillary) set me up..."

#4  BTW Susan when did you and Obama get Constitutional authority for your foreign adventure in Syria. Yeah, right, who needs no stink'n Constitution. So, who's the greater threat to 'America'? /rhet question
Always with the Freudian Projection.

#3  We had a dangerous to America president called 0bama.

This is why Americans elected Trump to fix things.

#1  I believe this is the same Susan Rice that assisted with the Clinton-Obama Benghazi cock-up, the details of which remain yet unanswered.
