US national security advisor Rice says Netanyahu address 'destructive'

WASHINGTON -- Susan Rice, US President Barack Obama's national security advisor, said on Tuesday night that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's acceptance of an invitation to address Congress next month is "destructive of the fabric of the relationship" between Israel and the United States.

"We've been fortunate that politics have not been injected into that relationship," Rice said to American journalist Charlie Rose.

But "what has happened over the last several weeks, by virtue of the invitation that was issued by the Speaker and the acceptance of it by Prime Minister Netanyahu on two weeks in advance of his election, is that on both sides, there has now been injected a degree of partisanship."

Those decisions from both men were "not only unfortunate," Rice continued, but "destructive."

"It's always been bipartisan," she said. "We need to keep it that way. We want it that way. I think Israel wants it that way. The American people want it that way. And when it becomes injected or infused with politics, that's a problem."

Netanyahu accepted the invitation in late January, originally scheduling him to speak in mid-February. He requested the speech be delayed until March 3, when he will already be in Washington for the annual conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

How can a speech that hasn’t been given be destructive?


They know he will speak the truth. It will be ‘destructive” to their agenda. They use all sorts of terms as part of their propaganda campaign.

That is a blatant lie and they know it. But they thrive on lies and deception. They cannot survive truth.

I love how they leave the door open for this to be Condoleeza Rice, as opposed to Susan, in the headline. Jerks.

No, they don’t. Tyrants can’t tolerate any opposition or truth.

Why is she still around blabbering. Documents attest that Ben Gahzi was in response for us arming opposition to Al Qaeda, not some video.

these people are so incompetent that when a foreign leader makes them look bad for elections, they attack him or her. They do the same on immigration, attacking the competent and pleading the gangs to come in illegaly.
