Samantha Power: ‘I am Sorry that We in the Obama Administration did not Recognize the Armenian = full title.

[boycott]

Samantha, The obama administration did not even recognize the genocide that was happening in Iraq and Syria under their noses so shut the hell up.

[Dalberg-Acton]

Probably didn’t recognize the holodomor, either. The NYT had a reporter in Russia at the time and didn’t think it newsworthy.

[Farmer Dean]

Typical.A day late and a dollar short,as usual.

[Retain Mike]

I have a seven-volume series called “The Great Events of the Great War” written in 1920. In the final volume are listed battle deaths at 7,200,000 and civilian deaths at 9,000.000. Of those 9,000,000 Armenians account for 1,100,000 and Greeks in Turkey for 900,000. So if it weren’t for the Turks, WWI would have probably been the first war in all history in which there were more combatants killed than civilians.

[Crucial]

This doesn’t really help since it’s only a personal apology and not an official one.

[rdcbn]

Commendable of Powers to recognize the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1917 during which time about 1.5 million Armenians were viciously murdered by Turkish Muslims.

it's disappointing that Powers neglects to apologize for nearly 1 million acts of genocide and crimes against humanity that were committed by Obama Administration allies on her watch,. This modern 21st Century genocide used the same terrorist atrocities employed by the Turks on the Armenians , including crucifiztion, raping to death, burning alive , torturing to death, disemboweling, beheading, cutting of babies out of wombs, cannibalism,scalping, skinning alive, flaying to death, immersion in acid, wood chippers, dismemberment while alive and a host of ISIS/al Qaeda specializes,

[ameribbean expat]

The Kardashians are obviously not pleased. /s

[Pearls Before Swine]

Why does Samantha think that was? NATO/Middle East power politics? Perhaps. Or, more likely, Obama didn’t want to upset his erstwhile Muslim buddy, Caliph Erdogan.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

I’m not too up on this but if I wagered a guess the dead are white, probably Christian?

[SkyDancer]

Turkey Islamic, Armenia Christian. Doesn’t take a brain like 0bama to see the difference.

[God luvs America]

And if you remember the left was apoplectic that GWB would not recognize the Armenian genocide.

[Paladin2]

Hussein = Muzzie Free Pass

[Jan_Sobieski]

She is an evil coward. When she had her chance, she stayed silent on genocide, however when she talks of Israel, she advocates the Invasion of Israel to force an Islamic Peace...

[beethovenfan]

I’m glad she’s outta there.

[FredZarguna]

Not recognizing it was bad enough, but did you have to blame the whole thing on an inflammatory Cher video?
