Susan Rice Huffs: Trump Didn’t Extend ‘Common Courtesy’ of Telling Obama About Al-Baghdadi Mission

Appearing Sunday on CBS’s Face the Nation, former Obama national security adviser Susan Rice said she was “quite confident” that the Trump administration did not follow the “normal protocol” of informing President Barack Obama about the weekend killing of Islamic State (ISIS) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

A partial transcript is as follows:

MARGARET BRENNAN: What is your reaction to the death of al-Baghdadi?

SUSAN RICE: Obviously, it’s a major milestone and it’s one we all should be welcoming quite plainly, but it doesn’t mean that the fight against ISIS is over. And it doesn’t mean that we can declare mission accomplished and just walk away. What we’ve seen time and time again in this part of the world is that when the pressure is relieved on terrorist organizations, whether al-Qaeda or ISIS, they are able to reconstitute. So we need to be vigilant. We need to maintain a minimal presence in order to ensure that the pressure stays on ISIS and they don’t come back roaring.

?? What kind of “common courtesy”? Ob’ had no role to play.. There was no “need to know”... Same goes for Congress.

Barry let's this Al clown out in 20009 from USA confinement



remember Seal Team 6 and Biden runnings his mouth

or Obama telling team 6 to take a chinook chopper,

and
telling our gun ships not to shoot at the Taliban once our Seal Team was close to the Landing Zone ?

I'm hoping Trump nails Obama, Hillary and Biden soon

Some one should tell that commie Susan Rice that our killing of al-Baghdadi was a spontaneous reaction to a video on You Tube. There was no time to alert comrade Obama.

Hahaha. Let's get the FACTS about Benghazi first you freaking POS. I wouldn't tell ANY DEMOCRAT ESPECIALLY THE MUSLIM KING. Unlike Obama. We want to save American lives.

I can only wonder why the leader of the free world wouldn’t tell someone with the middle name “Hussein” about an op to take out a terrorist.

Valerie Jarrett wasn't able to warn her Muslim friends because Trump didn't notify Schiff.

How come it's always president Obama and they call the real president by his name with no president moniker. Obama is no longer president he shouldn't be called that nor does anyone need to run anything by him.

The Deep State still thinks they are the shadow government, and in control, hence Pelosi and others visiting countries Trump is trying to work with, they are desperately trying to keep power and Trump is refusing to allow them that. Trump2020!

What ?? She didn't know about it either, how convenient. Lol

Let me remind everyone that Obama is now a private citizen and he does not have a "need To Know" about any decisions President Trump makes. Even though Obama would like you to think he has some control. Good job Mr President Trump.
