US national security advisor Rice says Netanyahu address 'destructive'

WASHINGTON -- Susan Rice, US President Barack Obama's national security advisor, said on Tuesday night that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's acceptance of an invitation to address Congress next month is "destructive of the fabric of the relationship" between Israel and the United States.

"We've been fortunate that politics have not been injected into that relationship," Rice said to American journalist Charlie Rose.

But "what has happened over the last several weeks, by virtue of the invitation that was issued by the Speaker and the acceptance of it by Prime Minister Netanyahu on two weeks in advance of his election, is that on both sides, there has now been injected a degree of partisanship."

Those decisions from both men were "not only unfortunate," Rice continued, but "destructive."

"It's always been bipartisan," she said. "We need to keep it that way. We want it that way. I think Israel wants it that way. The American people want it that way. And when it becomes injected or infused with politics, that's a problem."

Netanyahu accepted the invitation in late January, originally scheduling him to speak in mid-February. He requested the speech be delayed until March 3, when he will already be in Washington for the annual conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

Rice is a two faced lying hypocrite and belongs in an orange jumpsuit , incarcerated to 25 years in Guantanamo .
This perfidious bitch should have NO VOICE in the public discourse about anything to do with our nation or foreign policy . having people like this on his advisory staff totally impeaches barack obama and proves that he too is a worthless pos .

Not as much of a joke as the horrifying numbers of Jewish Americans who voted for Obama twice and take any truth telling about Obama as personally as the black and Latino Americans, unmarried women, professors, academics and others who also voted and campaigned for Obama in droves.

Note, I say all of this as a Jewish American who refused to consider voting for Obama for one microsecond in either election.

Valerie Jarrett”s lil lying sock puppet is at it again. One thing to say about Susan Rice—she really knows how to take one for the scheme team.

Let us not forget that Iran has repeatedly and consistently threatened to wipe Israel off the map. Obama may disagree with policies of Netanyahu but he has no right to interfere or hamper with his upcoming visit and speech to Congress. That he’s a petty, spoiled brat tyrant is on display for all to see—sad to say.

Rice has sold her services to the most destructive administration in the history of this country whose fate and Constitution hang in the balance.

Even Chamberlain had England’s best interests at heart when he signed a treaty with Hitler and resigned in favor of Churchill who appointed him to the tactical war commission. In comparison to Obama Chamberlain was a brilliant patriot. Obama is by any objective standard a lout. Nothing commends him, not even his skin. I have been blessed to have many dark skinned brothers and sisters. Obama is not comparable to them.
On his father’s side Obama is a muslim racist whose family and ancestors tortured and enslaved black men, women and children for hundreds of years. On his mother’s side he is most deeply influenced by communism, mind altering drugs and homosexuality.
The tragedy of Obama is the ignorant and gullible electorate who put him in office. The black community should be especially chagrined that they abandoned MLK’s moral code and opted for mindless hatred. Those chickens are roosting on the poverty and misery Obama has foisted upon his greatest admirers.
We must demand a higher standard than majority rule.

I agree. A better comparison would be if Churchill was a secret Nazi agent.
