'This speech is becoming offensive': Kirsten Powers, others shred Susan Rice's justification for Syria attack

National Security Adviser Susan Rice addressed The New America Foundation in Washington, D.C., today, where she attempted to spell out why striking Syria is in the best interests of U.S. national security.

Fox News contributor Kirsten Powers was skeptical of Rice’s pitch from start to finish:

Other reaction to Rice:

Susan Rice: Syria is a national security issue, but an assassinated ambassador wasn't.

Why is WH sending Susan Rice out to make the Syria case? Is Baghdad Bob on vacation?

It sure sounds like Rice is claiming the President has broad support for this action. He does not. He has a bare minority of Democrats.

Rice: This would be a few cruise missile strikes like Reagan did in Libya. No long drawn out war.

We’ll close with things you can and can’t get away with in Susan Rice’s world:

Rice says a failure to respond to Syria "would send a perverse message" that CW's can by used and you can "just get away with it.”
