Susan Rice Emerges as Obama’s Choice for US Ambassador to the UN
----------------------------------------------------------------



ABC News is reporting Susan Rice has emerged as the leading candidate to
be President-elect Obama’s nominee to be US ambassador to the United
Nations. Rice was one of the Obama campaign’s top foreign policy
advisers. Rice is a former member of President Bill Clinton’s National
Security Council and a former Assistant Secretary of State for African
Affairs. She opposed the US invasion of Iraq but has advocated for
military action in case of humanitarian crisis. Two years ago, Rice
co-authored an article advocating for US attacks against Sudan. She
wrote that the United States should consider unilaterally striking
Sudanese airfields, aircraft and other military assets. Rice wrote, “If
the United States fails to gain U.N. support, we should act without it.”
