In January, Susan Rice Assured NPR the Obama Admin Removed Chemical Weapons From Syria

Back in January in an in interview with NPR, Obama national security adviser Susan Rice was still touting the Obama administration's success at removing chemical weapons in Syria:

"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."

Between her dubious public statements on Benghazi, the Bowe Bergdahl desertion, her recent denial that she knew anything about unmasking Trump officials' identities in intelligence reports, and now this—it would seem Rice has a real problem with credibility.

Looks like Rice was too busy spying on the Trump campaign and dropped the ball in Syria.

Maybe she said that because the agency tasked to do this certified that it was done

SYRIA cooperated in this and Russia assisted
A US company won the contract to do the decommissioning

Weasel words. Guess they didn't know about the ones used the other day...

If Assad was a US citizen and asked for Obamas birth certificate.... serious trouble.

Maybe Obama and company took chemicals away from Assad but allowed the Muslim extremist “McCain’s Rebels” to keep the chemicals we be gave to them. Then Assad took them away.

There has not been any honest investigation of what was used and where it came from

Things moved very quickly to a 50 cruise missile strike for the supposed deaths of 80 people in a “ civil” war

We killed over 200 in Mosul 3 weeks ago and I have yet to see a report on why

Qadaffi had chemicals - did some of them leave warehouses in Benghazi? Who moved them and Where did they go?
Various former bloc countries have chemicals
Iran has CW
Iraq has CW and many ISIS were former iraqi military and intelligence Saddam loyalists with access to the sites
In fact ISIS has used CW in Iraq
Not aware we sent cruise missiles against Al Baghdadi who amazingly remains loose

If it was chlorine, any swimming pool owner has CW

First of all.....Russia proposed the resolution. Russia removed the weapons to a USA ship capable of the destruction of the weapons.

I am sure that Rice believes (as she described Bergdahl) ‘I served the United States with “honor and distinction’. her patriotism is about like bergdahl’s.

Yeah. I said in another post that over the last 8 yrs the upper levels of intelligence and the military have been filled by commies, islamists, America haters and lefties of all sorts. I would be very careful.

Needs to be a Trump tweet for the low info voters reminder.

Aka Sodium Hypochlorite or "pool shock" -  A cheap way to make bleach, clean your toilet, sanitize body fluid spills, etc.

Pupils dilated, foaming at the mouth...

This wasn't chlorine, it was a nerve agent.

Like the one Hillary and Co. gave to ISIS after her MoBro thugs "liberated" Libya.

Does someone have the picture of Assad and his wife having dinner with Nancy Pelosi a few years back?

Dems loved them some Syrian dictators then, but ISIS gave them a chance to make it a true Islamic paradise, so the love died.
