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.

Laughable. The last thing any President would think at a moment like that is “I better consult with Obama...”.

If President Trump had told the Liberal Messiah of the raid, ISIS somehow would have been warned.

The fact that Trump didn’t notify the Dems before the raid is just another example of Trump’s good judgement.

You know she is right. It is common courtesy to inform next of kin!

Yes, Baghdadi might have been able to get away if the Muzzi in Chief had had an opportunity to pass along a warning.
