More quotes by Susan Rice
Syria is a civil war. Syria began as a popular uprising, just like the other experiences in the Arab Spring, with a repressive government that responded by basically killing the protesters. It's not a genocide, it's a war, and there's a difference. Genocide is a preplanned attack on people because of who they are. This is a interstate conflict.

I was working with a number of African heads of state. And after their initial surprise, I think many of them just treated me as they would anybody else.

Susan Rice
I don't worry about how folks want to characterize me.
Susan Rice
Legislation that would withhold funding for the United Nations is fundamentally flawed in concept and practice, sets us back, is self-defeating, and doesn't work.
Susan Rice
The United States share of the African market it's very small, it's only about 8 percent.
Susan Rice
I like to think that with me, what you see is what you get, and you can like or dislike it, it's up to you, but it's straight. That's something that I pride myself on.
Susan Rice
President Obama is an extraordinary person to work with and for.
Susan Rice
The larger picture here is that a North Korea with nuclear weapons adds to the larger proliferation risk.
Susan Rice
What I would say about me is: What you see is what I get.
Susan Rice
If you want change, you have to make it. If we want progress we have to drive it.
Susan Rice
I am blunt sometimes I am diplomatic sometimes I am all things in between. Abrasive, you know, I guess it's in the eye of the beholder.
Susan Rice
I think one of the real issues that we're faced with is how we consume news, how the media is perceived, how fake news is gaining a degree of currency without criticism that is dangerous, in my judgement.
Susan Rice
President Obama is perhaps the smartest person I've ever worked with.
Susan Rice
Peace, prosperity, and democracy cannot endure if imposed from the outside. We should cease to make false distinctions between peacekeeping and prevention they are in fact inextricably linked.
Susan Rice
