Is The U.S. Going To Permit The U.N. To Investigate The U.S. Military?


U.S. United Nations Amb. Rice Accepts Possibility Of International Investigation Of U.S. Military -- Weekly Standard

Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the UN and member of Barack Obama's cabinet, opened the door for the possibility of an international investigation into the U.S. military on Fox News Sunday yesterday. Here's the relevant part of the exchange:

Chris Wallace: And a simple question: Would the U.S. accept foreign participation if this country were investigating actions by the U.S. military?

Susan Rice: I think it depends on the circumstances, Chris.


Naturally, this question came up during an exchange about the pro-Hamas flotillas that Israel prevented from reaching its shores. But it's an extraordinarily short-sighted statement for Rice to make.

My Comment:I doubt the U.S. government will permit such an investigation. Amb. Rice's comments were probably a reflection of her own opinions .... and not policy. But if this is an indication of a change in policy .... expect an uproar from the military, much of Congress, and a majority of the American public.
