US Ambassador to Iran: "I don't know how to transport people."

[displacedtexan]

I just saw this idiot say this on MSNBC.

He prefaced his statement with, "I'm an ambassador,"
as if that excuses him from being responsible for
Americans in Lebanon.

GGGRRR!!!

[Dhalgren]

1. I can't help but believe that if these "Americans" were white

there would be much more governmental concern over getting them out of Lebanon...

[JuniperLea]

12. What are they?

Seriously, I've never heard racial assignment...

[Dhalgren]

14. They are predominantly of Lebanese descent (i.e. "not white")

US Ambassador to Iran ??

I thought that the US and Iran didn't have any diplomatic ties since Carter.

[Kagemusha]

4. No kidding

Some mistake has been made here.

[displacedtexan]

8. I tried to google "US Ambassador to Iran," but I had no luck.

Could it be an ambassador-at-large?

[htuttle]

18. That's correct -- there is no US Ambassador to Iran...

...unless he has an office in the basement of the Alamo.

In real life, I believe we use the Swiss US-Interests section as a go-between.

2. What?? Explain please?? The guy REALLY said that?? Will................

.....someone please explain what idiot boy and his handlers/administration do know how to do properly???:argh:

I don't believe this crap!!

Whatever happened to sending every cruise ship if need be?? Is our military truly that over stretched???

:banghead: :wtf:

[displacedtexan]

5. He really said that.

To Brian Williams, I think. I had just entered the room,
and this freak was speaking as calmly as Ken Starr.

He said he needed to wait for experts to transport people.

[Minnesota Libra]

11. OMG, I don't even have words for this. Hello, these are.............

....fellow Americans.

Believe, I'm not yelling at you personally I've just officially had it.

I knew this administration was a pile of dung after Katrina but now they're doing the same thing all over again. Don't these b....... ever learn anything???

:rant:

[IndianaGreen]

16. Brought to you by the same people that gave us Katrina disaster

Has the Bush regime ever done anything but fumble the ball? Bush was briefed on Al-Qaeda's plans to attack the US two months before 9-11.

[Minnesota Libra]

17. Idiot boy was briefed on Al-Qaeda when the Clinton...........

....administration handed them the briefing they had.

[atreides1]

6. They know how to sell out the American people

And our infrastructure.

This is what happens when you run a country the same way you ran a business.

[Minnesota Libra]

15. Running this country like a business for someone like...........

....Bill Gates, the previous head of Chrysler, and a few other successful people would be a good thing.

The bad part comes in when neocons run the country like a business they are trying to bleed for every penny they can get.

That's when we hit a situation like Katrina and a couple of years later can't rescue our own people from a war zone. I hate this f..... and his handlers.

3. Doesn't fill me with confidence

In essence, the guy who manages the carts at the local golf course is more qualified to assist in the evacuation of Lebanon than is our esteemed ambassador.

Lovely.

[wordpix2]

7. another * crony filling a high position for which he's not qualified---as

long as these cronies are rich GOP/Bush contributors, it doesn't matter if their resumes say nothing more than, "Received millions from parents' trust fund at age 21."

[C_U_L8R]

9. Did he look like Skelator too ??

or was he another incompetent cartoon villain??

[The Backlash Cometh]

10. I bet Joe Wilson would have known how to do it.

He was an ambassador once.

[displacedtexan]

13. Yep, he stared down Saddam and evacuated Americans, himself.

He even offered himself to Saddam in exchange for American lives.

He walked around Baghdad with a noose around his neck. Really.
That's not just a metaphorical noose, either.
