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.

Spell check is how computers will take over the world. Epic bouts gets changed to epoch routes and embarrassment ensues and the computer patiently waits for its next opportunity. Pretty soon people won’t want to say anything.

“Hey, Barack, you’re not over at Al-Baghdadi’s place, are you?”

“Nope, why?”

“Darn. Umm, no reason.”

".... Trump should have notified Obama ahead of Baghdadi raid...."

Well, if that's the case, wouldn't it have been proper protocol for Obama to notify President Trump of his administration's planned coup attempt against Trump?

Seems like that should work both ways.

What's good for the goose, is good for the gander....

There is a tradition of a sitting Presidents NOT weaponizing the Intel Community, the DOJ and FBI against a President Elect.

Sorry Suzie. The Trump Administration didn’t want your comrades leaking it to the press.

Oh bafungul to her too. Common courtesy to PDJT went out the door a long time ago, so why should he tell Obama, the remaining Bush, Clinton or Carter a bleeping thing? Ditto that all the old fart leakers, especially in the Senate. Especially after the McCain funeral machinations, also wasn’t potus disinvited to Bush the elders funeral if my memory is correct, decorum & courtesy my @$$, no soup for you sweetheart....

...that President Trump was the subject of an active counterintelligence investigation.  But they NEVER told candidate Trump about it.

And you, Susan POS Rice, are complaining about protocol?! ; You traitorous RED COAT!  Your time of justice will come.
