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.

DOES ANYONE BELIEVE A WORD THIS WOMAN SAYS??

Nope. If she were to say she was black, I'd think white.

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

That was pretty much a known fact in the Clinton administration. Here... I doubt it. It's a weird combination of political religion, racism, and hubris.

"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

“Not another red line.”

No, this time we really, really, double-dare-em mean it. Seriously. No crossed fingers, toes, eyes, etc.

I’m sending a message to a nasty bully by punching his weak sidekick in the arm when the bully is somewhere else bullying.

Does anyone listen to this liar?

He past talking points on Bengahzi should have made her a laughing stock.

Hopefully this will also blow up in her face so that she has to resign.

Why don’t they lob a few cruise missiles into Iran if they want to send a message to Iran?
