Anyone get the feeling that The Smartest Administration Evah!!!! is simply winging it based on college bull sessions?
(Washington Examiner) 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. (Snip)
“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.
Shockingly, Iran denied Obama/Power Smart Power and said “piss off”. I know I shouldn’t be surprised at the sheer buffoonery and cluelessness of Obama and the people he hires, but this one is dumber than expected.
Furthermore, note where Power said this. She’s given up on the United Nations already (after missing many sessions because she was on holiday), but is happy to reach out to the ultra far left Center For Amerikan Progress.
