Susan Rice: Trump should have notified Obama ahead of Baghdadi raid
Washington Examiner ^ | 10/28/2019 | Mike Brest

Former national security adviser Susan Rice believes President Trump should have notified his predecessor about the U.S. raid that ended in the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Rice appeared on CBS's Face The Nation Sunday following Trump's press conference, during which he announced Baghdadi's death. During the presser, Trump confirmed that the now-former head of ISIS was killed after detonating a suicide vest while he was surrounded by three of his children in a cave.

Rice began by praising the military action, calling it "a major milestone" and adding that "it's one that we should be welcoming quite plainly." However, she did warn that Baghdadi's death does not mean "the fight against ISIS is over."

“Do you know, was President Obama informed of the death of al-Baghdadi by the administration? Did you know?” Margaret Brennan asked.

“There’s no reason why I should know. There is a tradition of common courtesy of presidents informing their predecessors of things of significance like this,” Rice answered.

That’s OK, Rice, you liar, we didn’t need anybody to make up some story about a video.

"common courtesy of presidents informing their predecessors of things of significance like this"

The more you know...

Did Obama call up GHW Bush before he had Osama taken out?

What about Jimmah Carter?

Sure, then the terrorist would have been warned and there would be breaking news about how the mission was a failure.

But fortunately Trump outsmarted them.

Now we had a successful mission and Dems are whining.

The only reason Obama would need to know that his buddy Al Baghdadi was dead, is so that he could make travel arrangements to attend his funeral. After all, he released him from that Iraq prison in 2009. They’ve probably been pen pals ever since.
