Susan Rice: When the White House twists the truth, we are all less safe
WaPo ^ | 3/21/17 | Susan E. Rice

Last week, the British intelligence agency GCHQ took the rare step of debunking as “utterly ridiculous” the Trump administration’s insinuation that Britain spied on Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign. On Monday, FBI Director James B. Comey testified plainly that “I have no information that supports” President Trump’s accusations that his predecessor ordered the “wires tapped” at Trump Tower. These false statements from the White House are part of a disturbing pattern of behavior that poses real and potentially profound dangers to U.S. national security.

The foundation of the United States’ unrivaled global leadership rests only in part on our military might, the strength of our economy and the power of our ideals. It is also grounded in the perception that the United States is steady, rational and fact-based. To lead effectively, the United States must maintain respect and trust.

Kinda like blaming the attack on the Beghazi consulate, and attendant death of four US citizens, on a video?

I would say I’m blown away by her comments, but this is a dim we are talking about. They never cease to amaze me with their stupidity.

Indeed. Shakespeare anticipated her view on this matter by a few centuries.

....U.S. permanent representative to the United Nations from 2009 to 2013.

Well, it wasn't so permanent, was it? She was qualified for neither post and is less qualified to comment on either. She was there for one reason only.

An interesting piece written, of all people, by Samantha Power in the September 2001 "Atlantic" called 'Bystanders to Genocide' speaks of Ms.Rice's concern about the upcoming midterms.
"At an interagency teleconference in late April, Susan Rice, a rising star on the NSC who worked under Richard Clarke, stunned a few of the officials present when she asked, "If we use the word 'genocide' and are seen as doing nothing, what will be the effect on the November [congressional] election?"
