The chemical weapon attack by the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad on the rebel-held town Khan Sheikhoun in Idlib Province on April 4 once again underscores what a foreign policy failure President Obama was and what a serial liar Susan Rice is.
On January 16, 2017, Rice, who served as U.N. Ambassador during Obama’s first term and was rewarded for her Benghazi lies with the post of National Security Advisor, where she could be compelled to testify before Congress,
Gave what amounted to an exit interview with NPR. During the interview she crowed about the Obama administration’s success in eliminating the threat of Syrian chemical weapons:
We were able to find a solution that didn't necessitate the use of force that actually removed the chemical weapons that were known from Syria, in a way that the use of force would never have accomplished. Our aim in contemplating the use of force following the use of chemical weapons in August of 2013 was not to intervene in the civil war, not to become involved in the combat between Assad and the opposition, but to deal with the threat of chemical weapons by virtue of the diplomacy that we did with Russia and with the Security Council. We were able to get the Syrian government to voluntarily and verifiably give up its chemical weapons stockpile.Tell that, Ms. Rice, to the children of Khan Sheikoun who succumbed to the horrible effects of the sarin gas dropped on them by Syrian forces with the support of their Russian allies. You and your boss colluded with the Russians to keep Assad in power and give Russia a free hand in Syria. Your claim of having removed the threat of Syrian chemical weapons was a lie, as phony as the statement President Obama made after the tragedy of Aleppo. As CNBC reported the statement President Obama made as he washed his hands of all guilt and responsibility:
"With respect to Syria of what I have consistently done is taken the best course that I can to end the civil war and having also taken into account of the long-term national security interest of the United States," he said….No, sir the responsibility for this horror lies with you, and the blood of Aleppo and Khan Sheikoun is on your and Susan Rice’s hands. It is you who drew the red lines in Syria and there would be consequences if they were crossed. It is you who said Assad must go. There were no consequences and Assad, protected by Russia, is still there."Unless we were all in and willing to take over Syria, we were going to have problems," Obama said in the news conference, noting that it would have required "putting large numbers of U.S. troops on the ground, uninvited, without any international law mandate."…
"Responsibility for this brutality lies in one place alone: with the Assad regime and its allies Russia and Iran. And this blood and these atrocities are on their hands," Obama said.
As Investor’s Business Daily editorialized on Obama’s disappearing red lines in Syria:
Syria's chemical weapons are on the move, their precursor chemicals having been mixed, a crossing of a line drawn by President Obama Aug. 20 when he said "a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized." So our resolute president decides to draw another line — that if Syria's Bashar al-Assad makes use of those weapons, presumably against his own people or neighbors, he will face "consequences." …Obama's appeasement has come home to roost. Assad remembers how Clinton, appearing on CBS' "Face The Nation," dismissed the idea of U.S. military action or regime change in Syria, claiming that unlike Libya's Moammar Gadhafi, Assad was considered to be a "reformer" by "many of the members of Congress."Yep, your Secretary of State and defeated presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called Assad a reformer:
Apparently neither Mrs. Clinton nor Defense Secretary Robert Gates sees Syria as an outlaw nation. Both said Sunday that Syria was different from Libya and that we would not be lobbing cruise missiles into Damascus in another "humanitarian" effort.Obama and Clinton intervened in Libya to prevent the slaughter of civilians, turning Libya into a failed state and an incubator of terrorism. Yet both did nothing to prevent the slaughter in Syria when they could have easily. We sacrificed four brave Americans at Benghazi in pursuance of this failed policy."Many of the members of Congress of both parties who have gone to Syria in recent months have said they believe he's a reformer," Clinton said without disputing the assessment. She also drew a distinction between Libya's use of tanks and aircraft against its protesters and "police actions, which, frankly, have exceeded the use of force that any of us would want to see."

Susan Rice lied about ( fill in the blank). The possibilities for what one could ‘fill in the blank’ with boggle the mind.
How can we tell when Rice is lying ? Easy, just wait for her move her lips.
She’s batting a 1000 isn’t she. Lies about Benghazi, lies about chemical weapons, lies about spying on Trump... I think Democraps have found their next POTUS candidate.
Her nickname should be “Susan Lies”.
Long ago on almost the same day TWO different US Embassies in different parts of Africa were blown up, almost totally leveled.
Who took the lead in shrieking that the US State Dept had done a STELLAR job of security..?
Why that was SUSAN RICE...!
The Administration is 10,000% NOT responsible for all that, how do ya like THAT..?
She’s been at this LYING biz FAR longer than 95% realize.
Thousands were killed in those riots and the Embassies of many western countries including the US were attacked, and some were over run and looted
Susan Rice has much blood on her hand for her irresponsible lies and the violence those lies incited
And I’ll paste part of what Hannity said back then, after those AFRICA Embassy blast excuses put out by Susan Rice:
HANNITY
Now, just to make sure everyone is following this. Let’s recap. Back in the late ‘90s, those at the Kenyan embassy, they were begging the State Department for additional security before the bombings, but they were not given any additional resources.
Now, does this sound familiar? Well, it gets worse. After the attacks in ‘98, Susan Rice was put out by the administration at the time to go on PBS and talk about the attack. We have the tape. Watch what she says very closely.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
SUSAN RICE, U.S. AMBASSADOR TO THE U.N.: All of our embassies around the world have received warning of this, notice of this, and are taking appropriate precautions. We maintain a high degree of security in all of our embassies at all times, and obviously that high degree of security has been increased even further as a result of this information.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HANNITY: Wow. So after an attack on our embassies, Susan Rice, she’s put on television to try and explain the attacks to the American people. All of this sounds familiar?
They believe that the truth is what they say it is. That reality is what they say it is.
That there is no objective truth or reality.
Insane, perhaps...but that's what the Left believes. In fact, it is the foundation of the Left.
IMO, she won’t be prosecuted, just like Lois Learner and all the other rat liars.
And Susan Rice was the apologist THAT time, ALSO.
Not a fan of Rice but I also despise journalists who craft narratives around assertations with no evidence.
Still waiting on evidence the Sarin came from the Gov. Doesn’t look like anyone wants it as it’s much easier to just assume it came from Assad and jump to conclusions from there.
It is NOT Susan's fault.
Susan was ordered by Hussein and Hillary to tell her YOUTUBE story about Benghazi.
Susan Rice was ordered by Hussein to say the Syrian chemical weapons were destroyed.
Susan Rice was ordered by Hussein to get the goods on Trumps campaign and President-elect Trump for Hillary and his attack on President Trump.
Susan is basically a very honest, loyal person who was simply following orders.
I think an apology from all right wingers is in order. /sarc
That’s her job. Susan Rice lies about things for people who don’t want to lie about them themselves.

Pakistanis didn't know about any "video" or any "insults" until 0blablah and Hillbilly broadcast this...
Obama and Hillary Apologize for Free Speech on Pakistani TV (taxpayer-funded ads) Sept. 20, 2012
Which immediately resulted in this...
Pakistan: 17 killed in anti-Islam film protests Sept. 21, 2012
0bama then went to the UN and re-inflamed the Muslim world once again over the manufactured offense "Innocence of Muslims."
U.S. President Speaks to U.N. About YouTube Video
Those apologies validated their anger.
------------------------------------------------
To: CincinnaI don't either.
- Nikoula is a FedMob snitch.
- Nikoula's partner in the film was Eiad Salameh, a Palestinian Muslim.
- AFAIK Nikoula was never a film maker before. He was a check kiter.
- The film was not originally about Mohammed.
- Clips from the film were first aired on Egyptian TV just 3-4 days before Sept. 11th by a hardline 'tele-Islamist.'
- 0bama, Hillary and Rice have repeatedly made a point of saying that the U.S. gov had "nothing to do with the film." Something no one in the world would have ever thought.
- 0bama and Hillary have engaged in a major campaign of disinformation to blame the film and apologize for it.
Everyone with two working brain cells has to conclude that "Innocence of Muslims" is a FedMob production and the producers are Barack 0bama and Hillary Clinton.
... what a serial liar Susan Rice is...
As the mouthpiece of the Liar in Chief.
With the Hillary win, none of this was ever to see the light of day.
Hmmmm...Rice/Hillary
1. No productive ability/no productive ability
2. Never told the truth/never told the truth
3. Foul mouth raised to the Nth power/foul mouth raised to the Nth power (where N is effing big)
4. Would get fired serving burgers/would get fired serving burgers
Hmmm, I’m beginning to sense a correlation here.
The whole damn Obama administration lied and left one hell of a mess in Syria and elsewhere.
Seriously, everyone knows they lie and the FBI doesn't care.
I so am looking forward to Trump draining the swamp that is WA DC.
Obama lied Rice lied Hillary lied Kerry lied seems to me that Democrats lie. If lying is in your DNA you apparently join the Democrat party.
In fact, Democrat voters seem to regard dishonesty as a necessary qualification in their candidates rather that regarding it as a severe character flaw. Only way so many know liars such as Atlanta’s national embarrassment John Lewis keeps getting reelected. Pelosi couldn’t knowingly tell the truth if her life depended on it, but she keeps getting reelected by the loonies and pervs in San Francisco.
