A gesture of solidarity per our two nations’ shared interest in life, liberty, and shooting women in the heart on the street, I guess. Via Weasel Zippers:
Not even a disinvitation to the barbecue on America’s birthday as punishment for killing protesters, huh, Barry? Absolutely the lowest moment of his presidency thus far.
President Barack Obama’s administration said earlier this month it would invite Iran to US embassy barbecues for the national holiday for the first time since the two nations severed relations following the 1979 Islamic revolution.
“There’s no thought to rescinding the invitations to Iranian diplomats,” State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters.
“We have made a strategic decision to engage on a number of fronts with Iran,” Kelly said. “We tried many years of isolation, and we’re pursuing a different path now.”
Yep. Nothing quite says freedom like a theocratic military crackdown and murder of protesters railing against a rigged "election". Way to go Obama administration!
