US Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice slammed the world's failure to act on the Syrian civil war during her farewell speech to the United Nations Security Council Stakeout on Tuesday.
"The Council's inaction on Syria is a moral and strategic disgrace that history will judge harshly," Rice chided the UN.
She also reasserted America's past and continued support for Israel. "We've forcefully opposed unbalanced and biased actions against Israel across the UN system, standing shoulder to shoulder with Israel on principle - regardless of whether such actions were popular in these halls."
Rice accepted a position earlier this month as National Security Adviser to US President Barack Obama and this speech served as her farewell address to the UN. After serving as the United States's permanent Representative to the UN for four and a half years, Rice is being replaced by Irish-born Samantha Power. "We've forcefully opposed unbalanced and biased actions against Israel across the UN system, standing shoulder to shoulder with Israel on principle - regardless of whether such actions were popular in these halls."

Why, it’s almost like someone else is telling the US government what to say about Syria. It’s like someone from outside the country is bribing our government, or blackmailing our government, or both.
Awwww the Russkies won’t do what poor Barack wants them to do.
Nice leadership, Suzie.
I sense an expanding credibility gap.
Of course, we can’t believe anythng she says...
Not every country wants to support Al-Qaeda as Obama does.
Pardon me, please, if this seems insensitive, but every round fired at a Muslim by another Muslim in centuries-old ethnic and religious hatred is a round that wasn’t fired at civilized people.
