Clinton 'Outraged' by Syria Massacre, Urges UN Action
Arutz Sheva ^ | 14/7/12 | Elad Benari

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Friday that she is outraged by reports of a new massacre in Syria.

The Associated Press reported that Clinton demanded that the UN Security Council take action to stop the violence in Syria.

Clinton said in a statement that Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime is deliberately murdering innocent civilians as it tries to put down 16 months of unrest and that history will judge the Security Council if it fails to act.

“History will judge this council,” she said, according to AP. “Its members must ask themselves whether continuing to allow the Assad regime to commit unspeakable violence against its own people is the legacy they want to leave.”

Although she did not mention them by name, Clinton's warning was directed at Russia and China, which have blocked previous UN efforts to impose sanctions on Syria.

Earlier, AP reported, UN chief Ban Ki-moon accused the Syrian government of violating UN resolutions by using heavy weapons against the village of Tremseh, where some reports said as many as 250 were killed.

Ban was quoted by AP as having urged the council to take "collective action" in response.

Ban and Clinton’s condemnations join that of Kofi Annan, the UN special envoy to Syria, who said on Friday he was “shocked and appalled” by the massacre in Tremseh.

Calling Assad a jew b*stard probably won’t work, but maybe the UN could get her close enough she could hit him with an ashtray.

She was outraged by the lies Oblam’er was telling about her 4 years ago, too, but what do you bet she’ll soon be entertaining Mrs. Assad and kissing her on both cheeks. Or maybe even all 4.

This is of zero concern to the American people.

Guys. I'm tellin ya. They are going weapons-hot for the election. This is the war I predicted a way back. They have looked at how the Presidential approval peaks, and will time it exactly for the 2012 election. TO. THE. DAY.

I was wrong on the country, I thought it would be Iran, but I am not wrong on the 'war'.

I agree. I don’t believe Obamao will allow us to have elections. He’ll do whatever necessary to stay in office.

Ms. Clinton, let’s talk. You know, men can do neat things to you, if you let them. If you marry one and don’t, they aren’t running around on you just because they’re bad. Try it sometime. No danger of you begetting more offspring anymore, so it could be fun, and make you stop being outraged all the time. Evil dictators do these kinds of things. It’s to be expected. The UN can’t always intervene. In fact, when they do it’s usually to make a bad situation infinitely worse, because the UN is a haven for moral idiots and quite a few sociopaths. Maybe that’s why you like them so much. Forget your outrage. Go home. Have sex with your husband and this time care about his needs, so he stops pawing cocktail waitresses for a while. OK?

Give me a frigging break, Hillary. You won’t do sh*t, and Assad, Putin, and everybody else in the world knows it.
