Susan Rice in January: We removed chemical weapons in Syria

Here’s another whopped of lie told by Susan Rice. A Bashir al-Assad chemical chemical attack in a Syrian town has killed over 100 people and injured 400 others. The chemical attack by Assad even targeted a hospital. This is rather odd though, considering the most honest person on the planet told NPR in January that she, along with Obama had removed ALL chemical from Syria and Bashir Al-Assad. Here are the now famous lies from Susan Rice’ January 16th interview with NPR hack Rachel Martin.

RICE: Because in the meantime, we were able to find a solution that actually removed the chemical weapons that were known from Syria in a way that the use of force would never have accomplished. But the fundamental problem of Syria persists, and that is that there’s enormous human suffering. And we have not – we, the United States, the international community, the U.N., Russia, everybody else – has not managed to find a negotiated solution, which would, by necessity, mean dealing with the problem of Assad continuing to govern Syria in the most violent and repressive way.

We were able to find a solution that didn’t necessitate the use of force that actually removed the chemical weapons that were known from Syria, in a way that the use of force would never have accomplished. Our aim in contemplating the use of force following the use of chemical weapons in August of 2013 was not to intervene in the civil war, not to become involved in the combat between Assad and the opposition, but to deal with the threat of chemical weapons by virtue of the diplomacy that we did with Russia and with the Security Council. We were able to get the Syrian government to voluntarily and verifiably give up its chemical weapons stockpile.

MARTIN: President Obama is not a man who speaks off the cuff often. There’s a lot of thought that’s put into the language that he uses. Do you regret the articulation of a red line in Syria?

RICE: It’s not for me to regret or otherwise. I think the president stated the U.S. view, which is the use of chemical weapons is not something we’re prepared to allow to persist, and we didn’t. We managed to accomplish that goal far more thoroughly than we could have by some limited strikes against chemical targets by getting the entirety of the declared stockpile removed.

I wonder how long it will take NPR to scrub this transcript in light of the recent chemical weapons attack in Syria. There’s yet another Obama and Susan Rice lie exposed. Don’t expect any coverage from the media. Probably not even Fox News.
