Newly confirmed UN ambassador absent from Syria emergency meeting

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.

She was busy attending the Gay/Lesbian Impact on Global Economics political justice meeting in Hamburg.

Wake up! This Powers woman is about as far-left marxist as you can get. She's married to Cass Sustein, a known communist so far left that he underwent a forced resignation from the Obama regime because he was too radical for leftist Obama's political safety.

She's the most dangerous radical ever to be appointed to a position in the administration's foreign policy hierarchy, actually second-most dangerous after her husband's ill-fated appointment.

Minor quibble, dear Leni.

I would say She Who Must Not Be Named holds that title.
