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 -— bad joke. Has zero understanding of the islamoNazi threat to America, or maybe just doesn’t care. Gotta try to prop up the IIIC (illegal alien in chief), come what may. Pathetic

Rice says the speech is destructive. Indeed, destructive to the Imam in Chief’s Islamic subterfuge.

Odd how obama makes an ass of himself lying about not having been I formed of Speaker Boehner’s invitation and then insulting PM Bibi over and over again. And even odder how he can get so many syncophats and bootlickers to parrot stupid little supporting scripts like this. Hitler would be proud but we never thought it could happen to Anerica.

They sure are afraid of what he’s going to say.
And for the democrats to say this will hurt our relationship with Israel is nothing but a threat. Bibi knows the democrats, under a Jew hating muslim president, is totally against Israel.

"As a Liberal Democrat who had participated twice in campaigns for Barack Obama and. .. Congress reserved the right to invite, even despite the fierce opposition of the President, every world leader or an international expert who can help Congress formulate proper answers to the current deal being considered with Iran about its nuclear weapons program.
"However, it is the duty of every Member of Congress to listen to Prime Minister Netanyahu that knowledge about this topic probably outweigh any other world leader because it threatens the very existence of the Jewish State.

The appointment of Susan Rice by BHO was a very destructive move for the United States. The White House staff are the biggest bunch of cry babies and uninformed, so-called “professionals” ever assigned to the tasks of running and protecting the USA. They are all armatures with a Communist slant and that is why they hate Netanyahu, a conservative leader, former warrior and serious diplomat, the opposite of the BHO administration.
