WASHINGTON) — A senior State Department official says the Syrian government has been told it must immediately suspend its diplomatic and consular missions in the United States.

The order Tuesday essentially shutters the Syrian embassy in Washington and its honorary consulates in Troy, Mich., and Houston, Texas, and forces all personnel who are not legal U.S. residents to leave the country.

No official visits from John Kerry.

I suppose they’ll have to get by somehow.

Perhaps a few of Theresa’s gin-soaked raisins?

So, we’re going to help McCain’s Jihadist liver eaters some more?

“What color is that line?”

Rainbow.

So Obama is gearing up to have a war in Syria to increase his street cred vis-a-vis Putin?

So Obama and Kerry just give a green light for the killing to continue.

Deaths in the thousands will not delay any tee times or happy hours in this White House.

Another breathtakingly stupid move from our betters in DC.

Naw, Barry's just taking his marbles and going home.

Thanks mojito. It makes sense, the US diplomatic corps has its hands full right now with the Uganda Homosexuality Crisis.

Whatever. Just close the port there to eastern traffic.
