Fried Rice

Leftovers on the Internet are already casting about for Al Gore and other alternative candidates.  Meanwhile, Rice is a side show side dish to Obama’s culpability and lies in the Libya cover up and his plans to destroy the American economy.

30 REASONS WHY SUSAN RICE SHOULDN’T BE SECRETARY OF STATE

by RGRENELL

Ambassador Susan Rice had nothing to do with Benghazi, as President Obama told us, but she 
appeared on five Sunday political talk shows anyway. On those shows, Rice mouthed talking 
points that weren’t true. We now know that the talking points did not match the intel reports, 
which she had complete access to. While the national media debates whether or not she 
knowingly mislead the public on the Sunday shows, her failings and shortcomings before 
the Benghazi terrorist attacks have not received the attention they deserve.

Here are 30 reasons (that have nothing to do with Benghazi) why Susan Rice should not 
get a promotion.

1. failed to call an emergency meeting of the Security Council after the 2010 Haiti 
     earthquake

2. skipped the Security Council debate and vote to add new UN Peacekeepers in Haiti 
     after the earthquake

3. led the US during the most inactive Security Council since 1991 during her first year as 
    Ambassador

4. held her first press conference with the UN Secretary General on the pressing international 
     issue of texting while driving

5. failed to speak out when Col. Gaddafi’s Libya was elected to the UN Human Rights 
     Commission

6. waited 17 months before voting on the one and only UN resolution on Iran passed during 
     her tenure

7. dismissed by Hillary Clinton from negotiating most of the Iran resolution with the French

8. lost the support of more nations on her one Iran resolution than the previous five Iran
     resolutions combined

9. took 103 days to move the Security Council to issue a statement after a North Korean submarine sank the South Korean ship that killed 46 sailors

10. took 18 days to lead the Security Council to action after a North Korean nuclear test (it took John Bolton 5 days in 2006)

11. failed to support the Iranian opposition during their Green Revolution

12. failed to speak out when Iran was elected to the UN Women’s Commission

13. skipped the UN Security Council’s emergency meeting on the Gaza flotilla crisis

22. failed to attend the first Security Council meeting on the Arab Spring protests

23. failed to get the support of allies India, Germany and Brazil on the UN’s Libya resolution

24. failed to lead the Security Council during Egypt’s Arab Spring protests

25. failed to lead the Security Council during Yemen’s Arab Spring protests

26. failed to lead the Security Council to confront Bashar al-Assad’s brutal violence where US resolutions received an unprecedented three vetoes on three different votes

27. agreed to send former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan to Syria where he failed miserably

28. skipped the last open meeting before the planned UN vote to recognize Palestinian statehood
