Sister Toldjah:
I think this is final proof that The One and his band of happy progressives have been into the wrong mushrooms.
According to Samantha Power, our UN Ambassador and key mind behind the fatuous “Responsibility to Protect” doctrine of humanitarian intervention (1), thought that a UN report on Syria’s use of chemical weapons could convince Iran (and Russia) to abandon Bashar Assad:
Samantha Power, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, hoped that a team of UN investigators — many of whom, presumably, have a longstanding relationship with Iranian leaders — could write a report that would convince Iran to abandon its ally at the behest of the United States.
“We worked with the UN to create a group of inspectors and then worked for more than six months to get them access to the country on the logic that perhaps the presence of an investigative team in the country might deter future attacks,” Power said at the Center for American Progress as she made the case for intervening in Syria.
“Or, if not, at a minimum, we thought perhaps a shared evidentiary base could convince Russia or Iran — itself a victim of Saddam Hussein’s monstrous chemical weapons attacks in 1987-1988 — to cast loose a regime that was gassing it’s people,” she said.
This isn’t merely “detached from reality,” this is foreign policy as a psychotic break. Where do I begin? Iran? Syria is their key client in the region, essential to their influence along the Eastern Mediterranean and a vital conduit to their “foreign legion,” Hizbullah. When the protests first started a couple of years ago, they loaned Assad snipers for use against the demonstrators, a tactic they employed in their own country. They’ve even dispatched their elite troops, the Revolutionary Guard, to help Assad because, let me say this again, Syria is vital to them.
The idea that Iran, which is seeking nuclear weapons to fulfill their fondest dream of wiping Israel from the map and bringing about the Islamic “end times,” would be intimidated by a report from the United Nations is beyond laughable.
The state department thinks they are playing some parlor board game instead of foreign affairs issues. They are so ill equipped to deal with anything that is going on except a pipe line between the US and Canada and they are fighting our most loyal supporter!
Samantha Power lives and operates in a fantasy world. The IC has screwed up so badly, reminiscence of 9/11. However, NSA is continuing to spy on domestic and foreign civilians. Drones over CO towns in plain sight. The fool plans to launch an attack even is the Congress and the American people disapprove of it.
America has used chemical warfare on its own people during the alleged Waco standoff-you forget?
America used chemical warfare in Japan in 2 days nuclear radiation. You forgot that also.
The game on is the game ended. The domestic coverup of this pseudo invasion and the damage done by other operations is limitless.
The arab world is working very hard to bring a nuclear device to fruition . It could wind up on this country’s front door steps.
