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.

I heard it was a video from Syria that enraged the President so he decided to kill BagDaddy with help from the Kurds.

Stupid Democraps lose again.

What sense would it have made to notify Baghdadi’s best friend?

I wouldn’t notify bammy of an impending bowl movement. He can’t be trusted with anything.

No reason to notify the founder of ISIS.

Keeping in mind the salient fact that Obama released Al Baghdadi from prison, thereby setting in motion one of the most epoch routs of murder and mayhem in human history.

Hah!! Tell an American enemy about a top secret military operation prior to its activation?? There’s only one US President who did that and that’s why he wasn’t informed by President Trump.

Did Hussein notify Trump that he, Bammy, was spying on Trump?

Trump should have notified Obama ahead of Baghdadi raid

That's kinda like the equivalent of a husband telling his wife's mother that he's going to cheat on his wife.

Completely the wrong person to confide in with a huge secretive action.

Like the common courtesy of not criticizing your successor publicly, at home or abroad? It's so good Barry has been upholding that common courtesy, right, Susie?

Or how about the common courtesy of not following around your successor to talk with world leaders shortly after your successor has paid them visits?

And maybe the common courtesy of not using the intelligence community's sophisticated spying tools and human assets to spy on successor candidates? Barry was always doing the right thing there, wasn't he?

Or how about using foreign assets to spy on opposition candidates or do other dirty espionage work for you? HRC and Barry always toed the best of ethical lines there, too, didn't they?

And how about Barry's compromising our own military personnel and its classified toys to perpetrate hoaxes on the American electorate, using them to lie and cover up about a presidential candidate's eligibility?

Barry and Brennan are guilty as charged on all counts!

Ut, oh. Suzan's skipping down the Yellowbrick Road again, along with the mental midgets of the Obama Administraton.

This little POS liar berates Trump for not observing protocol? Obama's FBI, DOJ, ODNI, CIA and intelligence officials flipped a finger at protocol....and even more.....were intentionally dishonest with incoming President Trump and key members of his new administration. Obviously their lack of honesty was a serious issue. established protocol, had serious ramifications.

REMEMBER THIS? At 12:15pm on Trumps Inauguration Day, Susan Rice wrote a memo....(wait for it).... to-herself.

This is a justification memo, written by outgoing National Security Advisor Susan Rice to document why there have been multiple false and misleading statements given to the incoming President Trump and all of his officials.

This is not a “CYA” memo, this is a justification memo for use AFTER the Trump-Russia collusion/conspiracy narrative collapsed; if the impeachment effort failed.

Her crass “By-The-Book-Obama” aspect refers to both she and then-President Obama being told by CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director Comey, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, that President Trump was the subject of an active counterintelligence investigation to determine if he was under the influence of the Russian government. But they NEVER told candidate Trump about it.

Even the timing of Rice's Oz-ish memo, written 15 minutes prior to the end of the Obama administration, is ex-post-facto useful as evidence of the author’s intent.......as Suzan stupidly confesses to a host of crimes.

There is no fathomable reason to keep a former president informed of anything.

Is this a competition to see who can say the stupidest thing of the day?

Gee Susan did Barry call up George Bush to let him know about the Bin Laden raid?

GHWB probably advised Barry he'd better mount an operation against the already-dead OBL to take the disaster of Barry's easily discovered birth certificate forgery off the front page headlines across the US.
