Rice: U.S. Action on Syria 'A Message to Iran': Susan Rice explains that action against Syria
inn ^ | 9/9/13 | Kochava Rozenbaum

White House national security adviser Susan Rice clarified on Monday that any U.S. military action against the Syrian regime is in part aimed to send a message to its ally Iran over its nuclear operation, Al-Arabiya reported.

Rice’s remarks at the New America Foundation think tank are part of a public effort by the White House to build support in order for Congress to authorize President Barack Obama to use military action against Syria.

Rice also said that the U.S. is morally bound to respond to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s use of chemical weapons against its own people since it raises threats to other countries in the region, including Israel, the region’s top U.S. ally.

A U.S. military strike on Syria is critical for the broader influence of the United States, which has joined Israel and European nations in warning Iran against developing nuclear weapons.

"We will not allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon," Rice declared. "As the president has said, all options remain on the table. For our efforts to succeed, however, the leaders in Tehran must know that the United States means what we say.".

"If we do not respond when Iran's close ally uses weapons of mass destruction, what message does that send to Iran? It risks suggesting that the international community cannot muster the will to act when necessary," Rice said.

For some reason I am unable to open the file.
To the headline: so it’s not about Syria but Iran, when did that start?

Come on Susie. . . A message to who? Iran?

Someone in the Obama Administraton must have pulled a poll out of their bottom that said a majority of Americans favor sending a message to Iran. I feel like I'm watching an episode of the Simpsons or something with these incompetent retards. Gawd

Susie Rice does kind of turn me on though - isn't that weird? She looks like a dude TMI

If the rebels destroyed all of the oil and port facilities in Syria, Assad’s regime would fall for lack of international support. If they did so throughout the Middle East, the Persian/Shiite plan to build nuclear weapons and rule over Sunnis in the Middle East would fall apart.

>> “If we do not respond when Iran’s close ally uses weapons of mass destruction, what message does that send to Iran?”

Huh??!? Never mind these “dog whistle” messages. What DIRECT messages has the Ubama “administration” ALREADY sent to Iran, in its words and deeds?

Let me help you out, Ann, you dissembling slut...

The Ubama administration has taken great pains to UNDERMINE any Israeli plans for military action against Iran.

Blue Lips himself has come out directly against military action, as have MULTIPLE Ubama administration officials.

What a crock of crap that failure to bomb Syria willy-nilly “undermines” the military option against Iran!

Total lying FAIL. Arrogant too. They must really think we’re stupid.

“A Message to Iran.” That brings up that ‘C’ word again, and the lack of it with anybody in this Administration.

“Credibility”

Shiites are 30% of Mid East Muslims. The long term Iranian plan ///with a heavy dose of muslim end-timnes theology/// is to convert MidEast Sunnis to the shiite versiion of Islam. Iran was sunni until 1750 when the nation went shiite http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safavid_conversion_of_Iran_to_Shia_Islam

My guess is that everyone in the WH is doing toot.

They tell each other how intelligent they are.

But they are all twits.

I would think Iran is getting the message loud and clear. I’m sure they are really happy about it too.

That *would* explain some things that are otherwise very difficult to wrap one’s head around.
