Sunday Mail ^ | 8/25/13 | Meghan Keneally

Samantha Power, the newly appointed US ambassador to the UN, has spent her career urging international intervention in cases of genocide. The gassing of hundreds of Syrians should have been a perfect opportunity to speak out and force quick action. However, the Irish-born academic was nowhere to be seen and failed to attend an emergency UN Security Council meeting during the week. ´Ambassador Power is on a long planned personal trip,´ National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan confirmed. ´She has full communications and has been fully engaged on all national security issues.´ State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki confirmed in her

Maybe Samantha Powers’ fellow ambassadors to the U.N. came to dislike her so much that they purposely held their crucial meeting when they knew she was too far away to attend.

Her colleagues not only got the chance to discuss the Syrian issue without having to listen to her obstreperous opinions, but they also were able to demonstrate that they no longer consider the U.S. so important that the U.S. ambassador has to be in attendance when the U.N. makes critical decisions.

Samantha Power is the second wife of former White House regulatory czar, communist Cass Sunstein. She is just as radical and far Left as he.

He's now back as a professor at Harvard Law School, again indoctrinating students in the way in which they should go.

I foresee that Obama's 30-plus unelected socialist/marxist czars running and ruining various of our country's departments and agencies will all end up in Dante's Inferno's nethermost Ninth Circle (reserved for treachery).

I think the gassing was done by the Sunni jihadi rebels. Assad is winning the conventional war, he wouldn't use chemical weapons

also, the evil dictator Assad is a warm, fuzzy pussycat compared to the jihadis who are the alternative...

I agree with norm -- Assad is winning. Why would he use chemical weapons and give the west the excuse it needs to support Al-qaeda against Assad?

He's not insane.

This chemical attack is a frame-up by the Al-Nusrat Al-Qaeda guys...

Not surprising. After all, she's married to Mr. Population Control.

“Let her be.

Just like Obama - when they are not on the job they are doing less to destroy America.”

Yep. Only thing keeping them from destroying the USA is their lack of work ethic.

If only Assad had more backbone to tell the Iranians and Hezbollites to get lost. Then we could deal with him.
