TEAM SMART POWER!
Sheer weapons grade stupidity on international display, my friends. If anyone is still arguing that we should follow the #SmartPower team into the Syrian hellhole, get thee to a shrink yesterday! We are in incredible danger with these fools WITHOUT starting to lob Tomahawks 'across Assad's bow.'
Total. Mindblowing. What. The. Bloody. Fuck?
From The Washington Examiner's Joel Gerhke:
Iran is enduring economic sanctions designed to slow the country's
nuclear weapons program, but President Obama's team thought the regime
might abandon dictator Bashar Assad over his use of chemical weapons in
Syria's civil war.
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.
Rather than "cast loose" Assad after the latest chemical weapons
attack, as the Obama team hoped, "Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah
Khamenei has warned the Obama administration against any proposed
military strike on Syria," as the International Business Times reports.
Holy Shit.

Weird. A regime of religious fanatics that believe it's their job to sweep the earth with blood and fire in order to prepare the way for their messiah did not have a problem with a limited chemical weapons attack.
I’m shocked.
Well, now I feel weird. I actually looked at the picture. That is one seriously messed up picture.
