Susan Rice rips Trump for accusing Obama admin of funding Iran missiles: 'Despicable lies'
The Hill ^ | 1/08/20 | Tal Axelrod

Posted on 01/09/2020 2:27:05 AM PST by Libloather

Susan Rice, who served as national security adviser during the Obama administration, fired back Wednesday at President Trump for accusing President Obama of providing Iran with funds that were ultimately used to launch missiles at U.S. personnel in Iraq.

Rice dismissed Trump’s claims that the U.S. gave Iran $150 billion in the landmark 2015 nuclear deal, noting that the funds were in fact Iranian money that was frozen as a result of the deal.

“This is another series of despicable lies by President Trump,” Rice said on MSNBC. “The fact that … three years after taking office he remains obsessed with President Obama just shows President Trump’s extreme weakness and insecurity.”

Trump spent much of his address to the nation late Wednesday morning hammering the Obama administration for its policies toward Iran, saying it was to blame for current escalating tensions.

“Iran’s hostilities substantially increased after the foolish Iran nuclear deal was signed in 2013,” Trump said, though the deal was actually signed in 2015.

I keep reading that the 150 Billion was not given - but I seem to remember that it was.

Does anyone have links to articles were it is claimed / proven that it was transferred / released?

Obama and his administration targeted Trump both before and after his election, and have had their proxies go after Trump continuously - throughout his presidency to this point. The person who is weak, duplicitous, and obsessed is not Trump.

There are 298 more days to enjoy DJT before (hopefully) he beats back the political darkness once again. He remains the best president of my lifetime.

This is called pay back. The Obama administration spied on Trump and thought they were going to get away with it. But Trump became President and he knows exactly what they tried to do to him.

Obama’s own Secretary of State acknowledged in advance that “some” of the released funds were likely to be used for terrorism. Isn’t that despicable, Dr Rice? Would you still have endorsed it, if you knew the terrorism would be directly at you, personally, or your own family? How much would the origin of the funds factor into your thinking in that case?

The Kenyan has been very very quiet hiding out in his bunker.

He does not want a MOAB dropped on his filthy lying hide (meaning halfrican skin).

“... three years after taking office he remains obsessed with President Obama just shows President Trump’s extreme weakness and insecurity.”

Not like the demokraps are obsessed with Trump ... not like obozo and the demokraps were obsessed with blaming W ... not like the demokraps are obsessed with [fill in the blank] ... lots of extreme weakness and insecurity on that side.

Funny how both BJClinton and obozo criticized and blamed their predecessors in office for many things. Unprecedented in the history and tradition of the office. The tradition is dead, the genie is out of the bottle, the egg is cracked, ....Trump is apparently doing the same.

Now that Rice has spoken up, let’s discuss obozo’s Iranian foreign policy and its contribution to the current situation. Yes it would be good for obozo to show up too to discuss without a teleprompter.

One cannot consciously contrive this level of irony.
