"...you said you would never release your source"

Politico Magazine published an excerpt from Ambassador Dennis Ross’ latest book “Doomed to Succeed: The US–Israeli relationship from Truman to Obama,” which highlighted how President Barack Obama succeeded with the Iran Deal at the expense of the two allies’ relationship.
According to Ross, National Security Adviser Susan Rice told the national director of the Anti-Defamation League Abe Foxman that in reacting to the deal, which Israel knew little about, Netanyahu did everything “but use ‘the n-word’ in describing the president.”
In his book, Ross argues that “It didn’t have to play out that way.”
Per Politico:
From the outset of his presidency, Obama was focused on establishing what became known as the dual- track approach to Iran and its nuclear program: Be prepared to deal directly with the Iranians but also build our leverage with them. Engagement put pressure on the Iranians in two ways. First, talking to the United States created deep fissures in the Iranian elite. Second, if the Iranians balked at dealing directly with us, it made it far easier for us to mobilize sanctions against them. The hope was to alter Iran’s behavior through negotiations, but if the Iranians would not engage at all, or engaged but would not budge, we would then be able to garner international pressure on them to change course.
Israel was very much a factor in this approach. To forestall Israeli military action against what Israelis perceived as an existential threat, the president understood we needed to show we could apply meaningful pressure on the Iranians that would alter their nuclear program. In his first meetings with Netanyahu, in May 2009, Obama explained the logic of the dual track—which necessarily had to start with the effort at engagement. When Netanyahu asked how much time we would give engagement—clearly fearing that the Iranians might just string us along as they proceeded with their nuclear development—Obama told him that if nothing happened before the end of the first year, we would pivot toward sanctions. To add to the credibility of our pressure on Iran, the president wanted the Israelis to understand that he meant it when he said that “all options are on the table.”
Still, the way the Obama administration limited Israel’s knowledge of the deal, this harmed the relationship between the two allies “far more than [the U.S.] needed to.”
“National Security Adviser Susan Rice told the national director of the Anti-Defamation League Abe Foxman that in reacting to the deal, which Israel knew little about, Netanyahu did everything “but use ‘the n-word’ in describing the president.” “
Isn’t Rice’s describing it in this manner tantamount to HER using the N-word?? Why did she even think of that?
Can’t wait until they try to use the race card to defer God’s judgement.
What ANYONE in the Media says is to me suspect and must be considered before acting upon it, they are there to give us “instruction” on the PC way to act...
Neophyte.
Numbskull.
Nutjob.

..and what the heck did you do Ms. Rice except lie your face off to protect the lying kenyan and you knew then as you know now that it was all LIES!!!...
They’ll be gone. Conservatives are finally non apologetic. That’s the key
They are as gone as McCarthy Romney and bush
"...you said you would never release your source"
One day at a time is the way I am surviving it.
Does Ben need some help? That’s MR. NETENYAHU to you sonny.
FIND THE RACIST
Netanyahu didn't say the "N" word.But Susan Rice played the Race Card.
That's funny, because the "N-Word" is the best possible description of Obama. Lazy, ignorant, shiftless, stupid, petty, vindictive and mouthy. Yeah, he's an "N-Word" alright.
The "N-Word" was invented to describe someone who behaves like him.
: the unfair use of statements about race to try to influence the actions or attitudes of a particular group of people
Susan Rice is a race baiter.
That would be a terrible abuse of the word. Obama, the by-blow result of unfortunately misplaced sodomy between an unknown sperm donor and a reptilian Marxist slut is far lower than anything the “enword” can connote.
Netanyahu, a statesman, would never call the President of the United States, let me be clear - the by-blow result of some unknown sperm donor and a reptilian Marxist slut - an “enword”.
He should have, I do, every day! I just call a spade a spade!
What does Israel have to do with slavery in the west? And the liar fails to recognize that Jews were also an enslaved people...
