U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley forced Bolivia to "defend the atrocities of the Syrian regime" in "full public view" on Friday, after the country's ambassador requested a closed session to discuss President Trump's strikes in Syria.
Trump ordered the missile strikes in response to a chemical weapons attack by Syrian President Bashar Assad Tuesday which killed dozens in northern Syria.
Haley revealed the Bolivian ambassador's request for a private emergency session of the U.N. Security Council in a written statement Friday morning.
She countered: "The United States, as president of the Council this month, decided the session would be held in the open. Any country that chooses to defend the atrocities of the Syrian regime will have to do so in full public view, for all the world to hear.”
At the session, Haley stood by the U.S. actions, and said that when the international community fails to act, it is up to individual states to act themselves.
”The moral state of the Assad regime could no longer go unanswered. His crimes against humanity could no longer be met with empty words. It was time to say enough. But not only say it, it was time to act,” she said.

Atrocities? They hit a warehouse the Islamists were storing chemical weapons in...chemical weapons that the Islamists have used no less than 11 times while playing the western media for the fools they are. We did the WRONG thing, and now Haley has made it even more shameful. Disgusting, and SHAME on her for making it worse.
I can’t believe I was stupid enough to vote for Trump. He went to DC, and “made a deal”...that’s what he does...Just ask McCain, Hillary, the MSM, the DNC, or Brian Williams...that’s whose side you’re on now, people...while you fumble all over yourselves trying to invent reasons to justify the sellout and betrayal and pretend it’s something else. LOL...we’re all idiots. I’m disgusted. I’m ashamed. And most of all, I’m regretful. (facepalm)
Here are several satellite photos of the airbase.
She’s an idiot. Atrocity propaganda or lies have been at the forefront of almost every war in the 20th century. Belgian babies bayoneted or hands cut off. The USS Maine sinking blamed on the Spanish. The Germans claimed the Poles attacked a radio station in Germany, provoking their invasion. Gulf of Tonkin. The CIA painted US planes in Cuban AF colors for Bay of Pigs to make it look like this was a Cuban internal revolt. The Kuwaiti babies thrown from incubators.
It’s more BS to morally justify a war they planned for other reasons. It makes the war they want magically transform into a moral crusade. We aren’t fighting for a neocon revision of the middle east to make the Saudis and Gulf States happy. No, we are fighting for poor little gassed children.
They always say “truth is the first casualty...”.
“The U.S. missile strike was like our way of leaving some bloody writing on Assad’s living room walls.”
The bloody writing needed to be on the rebels walls. No cruise missiles have hit them at all so far. ISIS HQ in Raqqa is right there, intact, and everyone knows where it is.
“Who is going to replace Assad?
This guy might get my vote for that job:

One of the sons of King Abdullah of Jordan. (by his third wife)”
Then to get rid of a dictator, we should install another dictator?
That's what the United Nations is supposed to be for...too bad Haley didn't get the memo.
She seems like a completely different person from who we’ve known her to be as a governor. I’m still trying to make sense of it.
Remember the removal of the confederate flag airhead show? Now we have the airhead loud hysterical look-at-how-important-I-am I-want-to-be-important-and-liked show at the UN.
I think Haley is laying down the foundation to be the key GOP frontrunner when Trump wraps up his tour. I don’t think that Rex Tillerson will be around for more than two years, and she’ll likely become the next Sec of State.
She's punking the mozlum freaks, causing their collective misogynistic heads to explode.
