Samantha Power, America's new ambassador to the United Nations, skipped a major Security Council meeting Wednesday on the alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria, a move that drew sharp criticism considering her past comments denouncing the council's inaction on the violence.
The strike early Wednesday could stand as the deadliest such incident since the country's civil war began, with reports of hundreds dying. The U.N. Security Council called an emergency meeting Wednesday afternoon to debate the allegations, but ended up issuing a statement that fell far short of what the U.S. and its allies wanted.
Yet Power herself did not attend the emergency meeting. She was instead represented by career diplomat Ambassador Rosemary DiCarlo.
A U.S. mission official told Fox News that Power was on a "pre-arranged trip" and maintained that she was focusing closely on the Syria attack.

It’s more than likely there is evidence that the chem attack THIS time was same as last time. Done by the ‘freedom fighters’ WE are supporting.

I don’t know about this chemical attack. However, we must remember these so-called rebel groups have a history of staging such happenings.
Also, are these the same WMD agents the same as believed transferred to Syria by Hussian at time of US (and UN) invasion of Iraq?

To: Doogle
It is possible that she was ordered by Obama to not appear, after she tweeted that action must be taken in response to the chem attack. This might not be consistent with Obama’s position.

We are probably better off then if she never shows up at the UN. She needs to get her nails done and hair cut..every day.

This woman is not even a real American. She was born in Ireland and has all the anti-US views of the Irish socialist elite. Yes, this is not your father's Ireland.
